Made in China, Australia
17 March –
9 June 2013
A Salamanca Arts Centre and CAST touring exhibition.
Presenting the work of 16 Chinese Australian artists, Made in China, Australia brings into discussion ideas that surround the meeting of these different cultures and how these experiences have impacted and shaped the work of each artist.
Made in China, Australia considers the work of contemporary artists across a range of mediums and disciplines, genders and generations. Some of the artists in the exhibition were born in Australia, others have travelled here in the past and some are recent arrivals. This exhibition highlights the subtle differences that arise in each artist’s work due to their unique relationship with both cultures.
The exhibition includes the work of Tony Ayres, Shuxia Chen, Clara Chow, Lindy Lee, Kevin Leong, Owen Leong, Pamela Mei-Leng See, Chen Ping, Jane Quon, Aaron Seeto, Jason Wing, Liu Xiao Xian, Zhou Xiaoping, William Yang, John Young, TianliZu.
Curated by Greg Leong.
This exhibition is supported by the Contemporary Touring initiative, an Australian Government program, and the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy, an initiative of the Australian Government and the state and territory governments. The project is also supported by the Australia Council and through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for the Arts.
