MOVING PERSPECTIVES: YANG FUDONG: SEVEN INTELLECTUALS IN THE BAMBOO FOREST, PART I
Saturday, May 31, 2008, 11 am - 4 pm
Projected continuously. Meyer Auditorium
For centuries, artists have been inspired by the landscape of China’s Yellow Mountain. Internationally renowned artist Yang Fudong expands that perspective in the contemporary medium of video with his five-part series Seven Intellectuals in the Bamboo Forest, which is based on a famous Chinese tale. In Part I, Yang follows seven Chinese youths in contemporary dress who are in a permanent state of contemplation atop the mist-shrouded peaks of Yellow Mountain. 2003 / 30 min. / single-channel video / Mandarin with English subtitles
This continuous screening is presented in conjunction with the opening of the Sackler exhibition Yellow Mountain: China’s Ever-Changing Landscape.
