Each spring a new exhibition in the series will be on view in Gallery A. The series asks: How does tradition and history influence our understanding of what the “modern” is—in China, and elsewhere? The first exhibition explores the politics and poetics of brush-and-ink painting. The second exhibition will explore fashion (Spring, 2013); the third, architecture and material culture (Spring, 2014); the fourth, intersections of science and art (Spring, 2015). |
