28 Chinese offers a view of contemporary Chinese art through a group of 28 artists, ranging from those grabbing the spotlight today, including Liu Wei, He Xiangyu and Xu Zhen to the internationally acclaimed Zhang Huan and Ai Weiwei. These artists have made a significant impact on the contemporary art world and have expanded definitions of “Chinese contemporary art.”
Organized by the Rubell Family Collection and featuring various forms—painting, installation, photography and new media—the exhibition reveals perspectives and attitudes towards tradition, as well as powerful responses to China today.
