A pioneer in contemporary Chinese art, Zhang created the first example of \"China Pop\" art, and his oeuvre is as diverse, intellectually complex, and engaging as it is entertaining. From painting and sculpture to computer generated works and multimedia projects, Zhang's art is equally rich in terms of China's history and its current events, containing profound reflections on China's oldest cultural habits and contemporary preoccupations. He provides a model of cross-cultural interaction designed to make Asian and Western audiences look more closely at each other and at themselves to recognize the beliefs they hold and the unexamined values they adhere to.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom his early work in China during the Cultural Revolution to his decades as an artist in New York, Zhang reflects the complex attitudes of a scholar-artist toward modernity, as well as toward Asian and Western societies and himself.  Placing Zhang in the context of his cultural milieu both in China and in the Chinese immigrant artist community in America, this volume's contributors examine his adaptations of classic art to reflect a contemporary sensibility, his relation to Cubism and Social Realism, his collaboration with the celebrated fashion designer Vivienne Tam, and his visual critique of China's current environmental crisis. Zhang's work will be on display at the Queens Museum in New York City from October 17, 2015 to March 6, 2016.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BAAHNG SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42870065299689,"sku":"BSZHT","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/6713\/4953\/products\/Group3_4.jpg?v=1649055236"},{"product_id":"ian-ganassi-true-for-the-moment","title":"Ian Ganassi: True for the Moment","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIan Ganassi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrue for the Moment\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePublisher: David Robert Books\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePublication date: 2023\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eDimensions: 9 x 6 x .32 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePages: 136\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSigned First Edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eISBN-13: 9781625494337\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p5\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe dominant techniques in the works of poet Ian Ganassi are collage and improvisation. The main source of collage material is lines from abandoned poems; other lines are taken from overheard conversation, his own reading, and some simply come to him. Improvisation weaves them together.

Our personal histories are not segregated in memory but constantly interrupt the continuity of the present, both consciously and unconsciously. And no one can live up to the demands of time without failure. But there is also humor here, which comes to our rescue through lines, poems, and scenarios that make us look at ourselves from a comic perspective. If failure is one natural result of dealing with time as adults in society, humor allows us to see our failures and successes in a wiser light.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BAAHNG SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48000032964841,"sku":"BSTheCorpses","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/6713\/4953\/files\/sb.jpg?v=1734465677"}],"url":"https:\/\/baahngshop.com\/en-fr\/collections\/books.oembed","provider":"BAAHNG SHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
