		• Transience: Chinese Art at the End of the 20th Century July 17 - September 12, 1999
			From the late 1970s to mid-1990s, young artists systematically fragmented the visual language of the Cultural Revolution by extracting individual symbols from their original context, distorting them for formalist or ideological reasons, and mixing them with signs derived from heterogeneous sources (such as commercial advertisements or images from Chinese folk art). This exhibition explores the meaning of demystification in contemporary China in light of Tiananmen Square, and the rise and fall of Mao. Curated by Wu Hong (Professor in Chinese Art History, University of Chicago), the exhibition was formerly at the David and Alfred Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago, and will travel to the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire (October, 1999).
