The Todd Art Gallery will host the exhibit Neither East Nor West: Works by Contemporary Chinese Artists through Sept. 14.
China has undergone a huge industrial and cultural shift in the past 100 years. In the midst of the era of globalization, individuals from different backgrounds and cultures share their experiences, lives, food, art and music. What was known as “East” and “West” has blurred. The exchange of cultural practices, concepts and ways of living is now common.
The blurring of these cultural lines manifests in the works of award-winning Chinese contemporary artists. These are the works of a new culture, Neither East nor West.
A reception for Neither East Nor West will be held on Saturday, Sept. 7, from 1–3 p.m. and will feature musicians Dr. Christine Kim on cello and and Jun Tian on pipa performing works of contemporary Chinese composers. Light refreshments will be provided.
The Todd Art Gallery is open from 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Monday–Saturday.
