CHINESE ART TRENDS
Australian curator and writer Melissa Chiu of the Asia Society New York discusses the newest trends from China in a video called Inside The Contemporary Art Scene.
She identifies several emerging changes:
- young Chinese women are emerging as a force for the first time
- new technology is being adopted and young artists are excelling at video and other new media
- China’s experience as a world centre of manufacturing has influenced the scale and construction of art from China and beyond its borders, particularly evident in the activities is Zhang Huan
- influence of artists in their fifties driven abroad by the Cultural Revolution and now returning to work in China
- two emerging artists are singled out : Cao Fei for her work on Second Life and Yang Fudong for his videos
