When:
August 18, 2011 12:00am to December 31, 2012 12:00am
Where
Since ancient times, the Chinese have mastered division of labor, which enabled them to fabricate complex objects and in great quantity. This mode of production has led some scholars to characterize Chinese art as “modular.” This installation, from the Seattle Art Museum's Asian art collection, features pairs and sets of similar objects that are a result of that productivity. More important, the matching works are imbued with balance and harmony that make the sets more visually appealing and important than the sums of the parts.
