The First Window to Watch Chinese Contemporary Art -- Joan Lebold Cohen's moment in China
To study local
contemporary art,Ms. Cohentook more than 10,000 photos for Chinese
artists during the period of 1979 to 1981 and the following years, from which this
exhibition selects 150 photos to display the vivid moments when Chinese artists

history, but have become valuable materials for the study of Chinese
Contemporary Art in early time.
Ms. Cohen visited
art schools, art institutions and non-governmental art groups all over China
and gave keynote lectures oncontemporary Western
art for many times. The exhibition would reproduce one of her lecture videos:The
Heart of the 20th Century: Beyond Illusionism and the audio was re-recorded by Cohen
herself to reproduce the real effect of that lecture in the best way.

of the documentaryGroundbreaking
