Wang Qingsong is a contemporary Chinese artist whose large-format photographs address the rapidly changing society of China. Although he was trained as a painter, Wang began taking photographs in the 1990s as a way to better document the tension of cultural shifts and global change.
In 2018, community participants from Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor were brought together in Wang's collaborative art installation on land reform, presented in the exhibition Wang Qinsong / Detroit / Beijing at the University of Michigan Museum of Art. In this webinar, we are invited to take a tour of Wang's latest exhibition, "On the Field of Hope," at Tang Contemporary, Beijing, followed by an insider's visit to his Beijing studio. The featured guest panelist, Barbara Pollack, has written extensively on contemporary Chinese art for such publications as Artnews, Art & Auction, the Village Voice, Vanity Fair, and the New York Times. Her latest book is Brand New Art from China: A Generation on the Rise, Bloomsbury Academic, 2018. She will be joined by China correspondent & China Institute's vice president of programming, Dorinda Elliott, to provide a multi-faceted view of China today and the contemporary visual arts scene.
Co-sponsored by China Institute, New York; U-M Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies; and University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).
Attendees will be able to submit written questions through Zoom during the session which will be answered at the Q&A period following the presentation.
