I went to the opening of the “China Urban” exhibit at Reed College’s Cooley Memorial Art Gallery on April 9th. It’s billed as “a multimedia exhibition of contemporary Chinese art exploring the historical and contemporary Chinese city – as representation, model, catalyst, and sociopolitical construct” (here). The gallery filled with Reed students soon after I took the photos.
Chas Bowie writing for the online Oregonian described it thus (here):
"China Urban," a provocative and engaging new show
at Reed College's Cooley Gallery, demonstrates how 11 contemporary Chinese
artists are responding to the alarming topographical and spiritual reinvention
of its city spaces. Filtering the styles and techniques of classical Chinese
art through 21st-century strategies, the artists emerge as critical scribes of
an ancient culture in flux.
I’ll just put up my few photos.
I appreciate the work of all people who share information with others.
