Recology was a one of a kind trip. Never, would I have expected to see an artist-in-residence at the dump. Ma Li's work was truly expressive of her generation and upbringing and reminded so much of a certain upcoming exhibit..Overall, I'd love to see how her project works out and possibly see some of her work in a gallery or museum setting one day.
28 Chinese is going to be the highlight of my year. Over the past months, I've being paying close attention to contemporary Chinese art and literature, admiring the juxtaposition or "fight" between Mao's communism and culture. I highly recommend both Xiaolu Guo's films and novels for a deeper understanding of what the artists of this exhibit are trying to convey through their work.
