On Curbstone Jewels and Cobblestones

On Curbstone Jewels and Cobblestones is the second part of an exhibition series on Chinese contemporary art in the context of the Daimler Art Collection. Complementing the first part, which focused on conceptual approaches and video artworks, the second part offers a dialogue of sculptural/installation, and photographic artworks.

 

Under thematic headings and referencing their own biographies, fifteen artists from seven nations address the implications of globalization, and look for substantial answers to the issues of our time. In various media, and in documentary or in fictional form, the artists discuss and showcase aspects of urbanization, commercialization, and social issues.
