Contemporary art exhibitions at UMMA bring the ideas and working processes of living artists to the Museum and its audiences. The works assembled for the current Multiple Impressions exhibition also represent guest curator Xiaobing Tang’s own journey. Originally trained as a literary scholar in China and the US, Tang immersed himself in learning about contemporary woodblock printing over a several-year period, visiting the studios of the forty-one exhibition artists and gaining a direct understanding of the people and processes behind the works.
