The city of Chengdu is the economic and cultural centre of China’s most populated province and has been well situated to adopt and absorb western art practices. Following the enormous success of the first Shanghai Biennale, Chengdu inaugurated its own Biennale in 2001. Since that time the community has seen increased participation by curators, local collectors, foreign artists and international museums. Today there are over 20 museums in Chengdu. The artwork in the China Sensation exhibit shows a transition from traditional Chinese landscape painting and calligraphic styles to work informed by media awareness and conceptual irony. While images by the more senior artists are clearly linked to long historical traditions, the art of younger artists Chengdian Wu, Genesis (undated), colour photograph [Art Gallery of has been greatly influenced by western Alberta, Edmonton AB, Apr 14-Jun 10] entertainment and media images – including lively collage-inspired works, new forms of photography, Internet-inspired subject matter and video art. Overriding all is a sense of today’s global community combined with an Asian style and subject matter. China Sensation is a unique opportunity to see the work of artists from a rapidly evolving country. Mia Johnson seen through windows; May 19–Jun site or email [email protected].
