3 June to 13 August 2000
Inside Out: New Chinese Art explores the vitality and dynamic
changes in late 20th-century China - a period when the deeply-rooted
cultural assumptions and centuries-old visual traditions have been
under enormous pressure from rapid modernisation, changing political
realities and conflicting global, ethnic and local identities. The
exhibition features work by artists from mainland China, Hong Kong
and Taiwan as well as those living abroad. Consisting of nearly
90 works created in the years 1985-1998, Inside Out presents an
astonishing body of art - confronting, clever, mysterious, elegant
and always thought-provoking - across the full range of media, with
painting, sculpture, photographs, installations, videos and prints
by some of the world's leading contemporary artists.
Inside Out:
New Chinese Art is organised by the Asia Society in New York
and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The National Gallery
of Australia is the only Australian venue.

Inside Out: New Chinese Art web site.
