Author Description

Gao Minglu has curated several major exhibitions of Chinese contemporary art, including China/Avant-Garde in Beijing and Inside Out: New Chinese Art, at the Asia Society in New York, but The Wall: Reshaping Contemporary Chinese Art is the largest such exhibition ever held beyond the borders of China itself. Minglu, the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy and the Millennium Art Museum in Beijing have organized a landmark first collaboration on contemporary Chinese art between American museums and a major Chinese art institution. The results are good: The Wall addresses the work of more than 50 Chinese artists in media from the classic--painting, sculpture and works on paper--to the kinetic and ephemeral--video, installation, performance and film.
