 hinese sculpture has become part of contemporary arts in true meaning since early 1990s. During the new art movements which started after 1970s, painting, installation and performance art almost have completely opened a dialog with the western contemporary arts, but it was mainly in the traditional scope for sculpture. Chinese contemporary sculpture in 1949 to the end of 1980s featured political subject consciousness and symbol vision of contemporary politics, and the mainstream trend was sculpture with political themes.
This exhibit tries to show the contemporary road for language practice of Chinese contemporary sculpture and the basic practice trend for this excellent creating group. Such trend is one that is committed to create a form connection with Chinese sculpture tradition before the 19th century, at the same time to find possibilities for its communicating with and absorbing international contemporary forms, and to explore how the Chinese way in language can lead to the contemporary time in international subjects, such as political art, neo-historicism, cartoon art, feminism, post-70s youth art, and concept art.
