Liu Zheng "Peking Opera - The Web Cave"
Contrasting the "Felice Beato: A Photographer on the Eastern Road" exhibition @ Getty, will be this exhibition "Photography From the New China" .
This exhibition offers a cross section of Chinese photographs produced since People's Republic leader Deng Xiaoping introduced the current period of Opening and Reform. Highlighting the Getty's recent acquisition of photographs by Hai Bo, Liu Zheng, Song Yongping, Rong Rong, and Wang Qingsong, the show features some of the dominant styles in recent Chinese work, including performance for the camera, the incorporation of family photographs, and an emphasis on the body. Supplemented by loans of work by Huang Yan, Qiu Zhijie, and Zhang Huan, the exhibition explores such themes as prerevolutionary Chinese literati, vestiges of the Cultural Revolution, and the newly rampant consumerism.
This exhibition will run from Dec 7, 2010 to April 24, 2011.
