Visiting the Asia Society
The Asia Society in New York's upper east side has a summer photography exhibit featuring work from new Chinese artists. Saturday, I got a chance to visit and see it for myself. It's worthwhile if you're interested in seeing what kind of avant-garde art is going on in China, right now. There are also some amusing photographic parodies of Chinese revolutionary sculpture. Plus, if your only experience with performance art is reading hilarious takedowns of the art form by David Sedaris, then you'll get a chance to see an example of Chinese performance art that, if not something that turned me into a fan, at least makes me think that the art form isn't totally unfortunate.
The second half of the exhibit is at the International Center of Photography.
The Asia Society also features a permanent collection of traditional art that's worth seeing.
