Absurd Recreation: Contemporary Art from China
July 26, 2008 - October 04, 2008
Opening Reception: July 26, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
A multi-media group exhibition of nine artists from China who often use playful, humorous, ritualistic imagery, as if engaging in an absurdist “recreation,” and also have as a common theme the “re-creation” of settings, events, and situations in reaction to the rapidly changing political, social, cultural, economic, and environmental landscapes in China.
