Desires, Struggles, New Identities. Magnificent exhibition @ Kunsthaus Graz.

If we reflect on present and future, on changes and new situations in a rapidly growing global society, nowadays we are bound to be drawn to China. But what are the connections to the Communist past, where are the roots of today’s pictographic language and what connotations arise?

With works by a younger generation of artists living and working in China, the exhibition China Welcomes You … Desires, Struggles, New Identities reflects on the connection between the past and an exploding globalised present that also shows no hesitation to export art.

Artists:
Ai Weiwei, Duan Jianyu, Feng Mengbo, Lu Hao, Xie Nanxing, Xu Zhen, Zhen Gougu and others.
