Contemporary China is characterized by an incredible dynamism. Things seem to be transformed everyday, fuelled by astonishing economic growth, frantic urban development and the preparations for the 2008 Olympics. Of course these changes are reflected in art. Throughout the 1990s Chinese artists slowly emerged into the international art world and were invited to take part in numerous exhibitions across the world. Now, at the threshold of the new millennium, interest in Chinese contemporary art is peaking again, as a new generation of artists - born in the late 1960s and 1970s - appears on the scene.
This new generation presents us with an accurate and complex picture of a culture in transition. They take as their subject matter the country's disappearing traditional landscape, its new urbanism and rapidly changing social values. They are also concerned with the ways in which Chinese people are adapting their lifestyles to contemporary realities, freeing themselves from traditional stereotypes while actively utilizing new technologies.
"Follow Me! Chinese Contemporary Art at the Threshold of the New Millennium" introduces over forty works by nineteen artists of this new generation. In confronting the many faces of the new China there can no longer be any single point of view or message in the art. One thing is sure though, the influence of this country's artists is certain to grow in the future.
