Xu Bing, A Landscape of Shadows
Chinese artist Xu Bing, recipient of a MacArthur Foundation "genius" award in 1999, unveiled a fascinating new direction in his most recent works before a packed crowd here at the Asian Art Museum. The talk was co-presented by the Museum and Asia Society Northern California. Perhaps best known for creating an entirely new lexicon of made-up Chinese characters, Xu has long been regarded as a master in manipulating meaning and language.…Zhang Dali: Chinese Offspring
According to the Zhang Dali, immigrant workers who have traveled from rural areas all over China to earn a living in construction sites in Chinese cities, are the most important members of the Chinese race: they are shaping our physical reality. Yet, they are the faceless crowd living at the bottom of the social world. To cast them in resin is a way to recognize their existence and contribution as well as to capture a fast-changing point of time in the Chinese society. From 2003 to 2005, Zhang has portrayed 100 immigrant workers in life-size resin sculptures in various postures—with a designated number, the artist's signature, and the work's title Chinese Offspring tattooed onto each of their bodies. They are often hung upside down, indicating the uncertainty of their life and their powerlessness in changing their own fate.…According to Zhao Zhao: New Works
Chambers Fine Art is pleased to present the opening of According to Zhao Zhao: New Works on September 10, 2011. After graduating from the Xinjiang Academy of Fine Arts in Urumqi, he moved to Beijing in 2004 and soon encountered Ai Weiwei, whom he has assisted in many capacities: starting with the video Beijing: Chang ’an Boulevard, and continuing until today. During this crucial period, however, he also worked independently in a range of media that included video, photography, performance and object–making, gaining a semi-underground reputation as one of the most provocative artists of his generation. Unwilling to be pinned down to one medium or theme, he operates in many different locations that range from a gallery space in the Dashanzhi Art District (798) to East Tianshan Mountain, Xinjiang.…

Lars Bjerre
Lars Bjerre's pictures provide a platform for fragility, madness, loneliness, and brutality. They confront the viewer with humans who are in search of their identity. Bjerre s works reflect the complex and paradox world. In partly distressing, but also ironical pictures, they show the fragile individual confronted with himself. The detailed pictures make the viewer allegorically face a truth, that one would like to escape from, even though it concerns everybody. His observation always focuses the psyche of the human being: the search of identity, the fear of lost time, the integration in a society, the toughness of isolation, the insanity of everyday life. When one looks at Bjerre's works, it is hard not to be touched. They require all attention. His art emblematizes the tension, which is caused through political impacts and society forces, as Bjerre reflects it in a creative way.…Alec Von Bargen
It doesn’t take a trained eye to see what turmoil our world is going through at the moment. It does not take a college degree to become aware and create a voice to oppose the injustices and to stand up for those less fortunate. It doesn’t take any particular courage to hide behind masks while pointing a finger in blame. It does on the other hand take a unique type of person to translate all of these issues and convert them into a dialogue coherent enough to transcend mundane dialogue. It takes an acute perception of that which surrounds us in order to build up inspiration leading to form. It takes extreme courage to put down those masks and stand naked for all to judge. But, above all, It takes a willing and esurient audience to turn what could be a simple presentation into a meaningful colloquy; a sermon into the most creatively ambitious debate.…The Shining Mantis
The Shining Mantis is a Brooklyn base collaboration of Mike Estabrook and Ernest Concepcion. The primary works done by the duo are the legendary battle drawings known simply as “Kangarok”. This is a fusion of the unnamable presence of the Mephistophelic Kangaroo, and Ragnarok, the Nordic apocalypse. “Our work is about antagonistic collaboration: battle drawings. We fight each other through spontaneous bursts of imagination. These drawings most often take the form of large-scale chalk drawings, done directly onto the wall. We often execute these drawing as a live performance."…

OPENING RECEPTION THURSDAY MARCH 5, 2009
THE FLAG symbolizes all that we have on earth. Utilizing the different visual languages and origins of 14 artists from Italy investigate through, colors, mark making, and form, a common thread, beyond gender and nationality.
The flag was born in a war contest. It was a vexillum; primitive materials (such as feather and leaves) were tied up with bamboo, then, Chinese people discovered the silk, and the flags were made with this new material and they finally waved in the wind.
Each artist in the exhibition has been asked to create a work based on idea of THE PLANETARY FLAG. Not just a simple flag but something, that represents the entire world, all the continents, the animals, all human beings, and the environment, in one word: the Earth.
It could be an utopistic vision having only one Flag. Officially we have 194 flags, for 194 nations recognize by ONU and it is easier to make a flag more difficult is to create an idea of unity. The artists are invited to think not just globally, but in a planetary way. It seems difficult to put together and realize a thought of unity in a rectangle of fabric: it is a challenge. Many are the meanings the artists interpreted by these 14 artists; from ecological, and geographical, to symbolical aspects, each dealing with the idea of an awareness that we only have one earth.
This exhibition offers fresh and exciting perspective, a challenge for the future into the manner in which the identity of the earth and all human beings shed light on the most contemporary issue.…Individual Objectivity-group (April 5-27)
Individual Objectivity-group (April 5-27) Curated by Abraham Lubelski Presented by World Art Media All of the artists in Individual Objectivity investigate and develop the concept of creativity through color and form. Whether it appears as a wash across the canvas, is deployed as propaganda, or opens the doors of perception, color is central to work of each artist, not only as an element but also as an idea. This unique exhibition reflects on the aesthetic, cultural, and philosophical meaning of color through the writings of artists and critics, placed within the broader context of anthropology, philosophy, literature, and science. Tracing how artists have affirmed color as a space of pure sensation embraced it as a tool of revolution or denounced it as decorative and even decadent. The exhibition establishes color as a central theme in the story of modern and contemporary art and provides fascinating debates around its history, meaning, and use.…
