Come see China Insights: Unsettling Consequences at Katherine E. Nash Gallery at the University of Minnesota, on display August 2 to 25, 2011.

The show features seven artists from mainland China who have each undertaken the creation of a long-term documentation of one or more aspects of Chinese culture that reflects something vital about the country today. Until now, very little work by any of the seven artists has been shown outside China. Organized to move from the rural scene into the metropolitan context, echoing developments in China today, the works include themes such as matrilineal culture in an agrarian society, typologies of urban citizenry, and the pop music/club scene as an index of internationalization.
