CHINA ART NOW

Showcasing a wide cross-section of the very best of contemporary Chinese Art, CHINA ART NOW is a cutting edge national exhibition trail featuring both new and established artists from across China.

The art trail aims to challenge perceptions about China and facilitate debate around ideas of national identity by siting new Chinese art in both conventional and unusual locations across the UK.

CHINA ART NOW will link regional museums across the UK with works by Cao Fei, He An, Xu Bing, Zang Wang, Tsang Kin Wah, Chen Shaoxing and Qiu Anxiong.

A trail map will be produced linking all artworks throughout the UK and will be available for download at www.chinanow.org.uk.
