The Big World: Recent Art from China
The timely exhibition, organized by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA), focuses on art in various media by approximately 20 artists living and working in China today. “The Big World” alludes to the vast, almost unimaginable scale of contemporary Chinese art in the international art scene, but the title also references a large and storied Shanghai amusement park. The attraction became a general reference for Shanghai and China’s urban centers to the East by those in Western rural China. Various aspects of the changing Chinese landscape and daily life are analyzed in this selection of some fifty works by artists who range from emerging talent to fairly celebrated international artists.
