Wesleyan folks are in for a great opportunity to see exciting new art from China. We-Chat, curated by Barbara Pollock, opens at the Zilkha Gallery this afternoon (Tuesday) at 4:30 pm. Here’s what the Center for the Arts website says about the show:
Born after the end of the Cultural Revolution, young artists are challenging traditional notions of Chinese identity and inventing new ways to shout out in the global arena. This exhibition debuts at Wesleyan, and features works by Sun Xun, Jin Shan, Ma Qiusha, Lu Yang, Bo Wang, Pixy Liao, Liu Chuang, Shi Zhiying, Guo Xi, and Yan Xing that reflect the state of China today, and raise questions about the sustainability of national and cultural identity in an increasingly globalized world. The exhibition is curated by Guest Curator Barbara Pollack.
The opening reception will include a gallery talk at 5 p.m. by artists Pixy Liao, Bo Wang, and Jin Shan, as well as Guest Curator Barbara Pollack.
