Eastern Standard: Western Artists in China
2008年2月2日开幕
地点：MASS MoCA ( 美国麻萨诸塞州当代艺术馆)
中国，一个超级大国，引起了全世界的关注包括国际艺术家和导演的兴趣。
中国的文化产业、经济发展和建高楼计划，这个国家引起了刺激和焦虑。
西方人得到的信息关于这些变化很有限。
东方标准：西方艺术家在中国通过另外一个角度去研究这些现象。
这个展览介绍的作品反映艺术家的看法关于中国面对的问题：全球化、工业化，而这些现象对西方的影响。
艺术家包含：Jennifer Allora 和 Guillermo Calzadilla, Patty Chang, 和 Catherine Yass, 等等.
比如，Yass 的录像装置 “Lock” （锁）, 让观众参观三峡大水坝，中国的最争论的计划，而未来的一种象征。
这个展览包含Roma Pas、Lucy Raven、Oliver Lyons 和 Alexis Raskin 的新作品，还有Tobias Bernstrup, David Cotterrell, Annika Larsson, David Thomas、 Patty Chang 的工作队和 David Kelley、Jennifer Allora、Gui-llermo Calzadilla, Jules de Balincourt, Sarah Beddington Edward Burtynsky, Lana Lin, Walter McConnell, Michael Wolf, 和 Catherine Yass.

Eastern Standard: Western Artists in China
Opens February 2, 2008
A rising superpower, China has captured the world's attention as well as that of an array of international artists and film-makers. With a booming factory culture re-shaping the country's economy and monumental building projects transforming Shanghai's now-familiar skyline, the new China is provoking both excitement and anxiety in the West.
While most of our perspectives on the enormous changes happening there come from limited news sources, Eastern Standard: Western Artists in China offers a look at China through a different lens. The exhibition will feature a range of works by artists addressing the complex issues facing China in the wake of industrialization and globalization - as well as their reverberations in the West. Works by Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla, Patty Chang, and Catherine Yass, among others, will be included. Yass's monumental video installation Lock, for example, takes viewers on a journey through a lock of the colossal Three Gorges Dam, one of the most celebrated and most controversial projects in China's new development and a symbol of the conflicting opinions about China's future.
The exhibition includes three new commissions by Roma Pas, Lucy Raven, and collaborators Oliver Lyons and Alexis Raskin. Major works by Tobias Bernstrup, David Cotterrell, Annika Larsson, David Thomas and the team of Patty Chang and David Kelley will all make their U.S. debut at MASS MoCA. Additional works by Jennifer Allora and Gui-llermo Calzadilla, Jules de Balincourt, Sarah Beddington Edward Burtynsky, Lana Lin, Walter McConnell, Michael Wolf, and Catherine Yass are included. Out of the twenty-one works on view, twelve are video installations. A portable medium, it is both practical for nomadic artists, and captures something of the pace and scope of the China spectacle. An extensive documentary film program will be presented in the galleries in conjunction with the show.
"Likewise, Eastern Standard does not offer a single view, but many varied impressions of a rapidly evolving country. David Thomas' enormous photographic banner, In the Palm of their Hands (2007), which depicts Shanghai's TV tower held between giant fingers – a familiar, joke photo snapped by countless tourists illustrates our desire to "grasp" our subject, even if it means diminishing it. At the same time, this play on perspective aptly communicates the exhibition's aim – to present alternative perspectives while reminding viewers of the difficulty, absurdity even, of synthesizing such an enormous and complex subject."
