“The Allure of Matter: Material Art From China” at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art shows works by 21 artists over four decades that are personal in very different ways. The thesis is that each artwork focuses on one material as a means of expression.
In the West, contemporary Chinese art often gets placed in a political framework, highlighting those struggling against censorship to provide a critique of Communist suppression. “The Allure of Matter: Material Art From China” at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art steps away from that paradigm and shows works by 21 artists over four decades that are personal in very different ways.
Contemporary Chinese art began to surface domestically in the late 1970s and internationally in the early ‘90s, he says. He sensed something special about many of these artists, though it took time for him to define what it was: the dedication to one material. Shortly after his return in 2005, Zhang became a Buddhist. He visited Longhua Temple in Shanghai and was deeply moved by mounds of ash left from burning joss sticks. “These ash remains speak to the fulfillment of millions of hopes, dreams, and blessings,” he says in the exhibition catalog.
"Chains: The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Nature Series No. 79" by Liang Shaoji hangs in a gallery at LACMA with Zhang Huan’s"Seeds" and"Untitled No. 5" in"The Allure of Matter: Material Art From China."
