DESCRIPTION:
|
This work is part of the Moss LA installation entitled Import/Export, in which the Pyramids of Makkum are shown with Contemporary Chinese Painting and Photography a collection of work by five internationally recognized artists - Cui Xiuwen, Weng Fen, Zhan Wang, Ji Wenyu and Zhang Ting Jun. Embodying strong Western imagery that represents a definitive shift in Chinese tradition, these paintings and photographs suggest a formal bridge with the Dutch Pyramids, linking both through their embodiment of a rapid, almost out-of-control invasion of foreign ideas and imagery. Centuries later, this exchange of West to East, evidenced by these paintings and photographs, is the reverse of the East-West China trade in ceramic and porcelain that so influenced 17th and 18th century Europe.
