"On the Edge of Culture" Opening Reception

Description

The Chinese Culture Foundation opens "On the Edge of Culture," a group exhibition presenting an experimental take on culture. The exhibit’s inclusion of 1.5 generation artists—artists having a foothold in two or more cultures—features Artist-in-Residence Carol Koffel, with Stella Zhang, Jiang Xueman, Liang Liting, Liu Yin, and a video exchange with Fei Contemporary Art Center in Shanghai.Carol Koffel has spent the last three months at the CCC as our inaugural Artist in Residence. In the show, she is challenged to incorporate community elements into her work and experiment with culture and 1.5 generation.

The exhibition includes works submitted through an international video art competition, featuring artists from China and throughout North America.

Refreshments will be provided.

The Chinese Culture Foundation is the city's only progressive arts institution dedicated to preserving and influencing the perception and production of arts works by Chinese and Chinese American artists, as well as artists influenced by Chinese culture. This exhibition is the first in a series of cutting edge shows for 2012 that will include partnerships with international galleries, work on queer and feminist culture in Shanghai, and further unexpected, underrepresented facets of Chinese/Asian American art.
