Video Work by Gao Shiqiang and Chen Quilin
october 11 - january 10, 2010 October 11,2009-January 10,2010
The Orange County Museum of Art presented the works of Gao Shiqiang and Chen Qiulin as part of Carnegie Hall's Ancient Paths, Modern Voices: A Festival Celebrating Chinese Culture.
This exhibition paired video work by contemporary Chinese artists Gao Shiqiang and Chen Qiulin, whose artistic visions capture the collision of tradition and modernity in China in distinct ways. Gao Shiqiang's epic Butterfly Lovers (2006) is a tragic love story that serves as an allegory for the new millennium, and Chen Qiulin's Colour Line (2006) is a sublime meditation on rapid urbanization and development in contemporary China.
