Résumé : This exhibition is a major symbolic event, re-establishing ancient connections between
China and Caucasus. The region was linked to China by the world's oldest overland
trade route, the Silk Road. The artworks shown are representative of the emergent
Chinese avant-garde artists who influence the art scene in China today. This generation
of artists no longer relies on the political history background and they have become
the players of a larger scene, global in every sense. Albeit focusing on the contemporary
production of a specific culture, the topic of the exhibition is guided by the search
of otherness. However, it admits basic cultural similarities and dispositions, and
goes beyond a simplistic approach looking for typical cultural signs and symbols.
It shows an understanding of Chinese art as a vital and outstanding way of dealing
with political, social and aesthetic issues. They all challenge reality and its ideological
conventions, along with cultural stereotypes and the dominance of largely Western,
art history categories. The title echoes Zhao Zhao's paintings but this group show
is also a constellation of various artists. The exhibition has been made possible
thanks to the commitment and support of Georgian collector John Dodelande. [source
