PAST EXHIBITION

Revolution

December 4, 2007—January 12, 2008

ChinaSquare is pleased to present Revolution, a group show curated by Fang Lei and Jonathan Goodman featuring Cao Xiaodong, Jing Kewen, Li Luming, Shen Jingdong, Su Xinping, Wang Yiqiong, Yang Qian, Yin Zhaoyang, Zhang Hongtu, Zhao Nengzhi and Zhong Biao.  These artists, born during the Cultural Revolution, examine the legacy of Mao’s socialism in ironic and allegorical ways. As Mainland China embraces late capitalism, monuments and leaders once revered are judged and deconstructed. The participants in the show pay homage mostly to another time, when politics was not so easily engaged or made fun of. The artists’ nostalgic memories of youth are juxtaposed with the ideological revolutions that now take place everyday.
