Contemporary Art of East Asia
This major group exhibition organized by the San Diego Museum of Art features many important established and up-and-coming artists from China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. With additional tour dates scheduled at two other U.S. venues, the exhibition will provide American museum goers a rare, yet extensive look at work from several vital artistic communities in Asia that are quickly gaining a foothold on the world cultural stage. By including recent, new, and commissioned works, the exhibition serves as an introduction to the latest trends in contemporary East Asian art.
Past in Reverse: Contemporary Art of East Asia features 22 artists and artist groups who have created innovative works that use the past to map the future. Among the featured artists are Soun-gui Kim, Cai Guo-Qiang, Wang Qingsong, Tadasu Takamine, Hiroshi Fuji, Michael Lin, and Leung Mee Ping. Working in a diversity of media—painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation, digital media—these artists access the past by engaging aesthetic and conceptual principles that are rooted in the arts and culture of their particular region of origin.
