The exhibition pairs video work by contemporary Chinese artists Gao Shiqiang (born in Shandong, 1971) and Chen Qiulin (born in Hubei, 1975), whose artistic visions capture the collision of tradition and modernity in China in distinct ways. Gao Shiqiang's epic Butterfly Lovers (2006) is a tragic love story that reverberates among three couples across time, and serves as an allegory for the new millennium. Chen Qiulin's Color Line (2006) is a sublime meditation on rapid urbanization and development in contemporary China, fusing a documentary format with dream-scape performance.
