Plays.China: Shu Yong Solo Exhibition
In his new series of art works, Plays.China, exhibited at Eastlink Gallery from September 6 to October 6, 2008, Shu Yong envisions the theatricality of China in 2008.
China has transformed itself into an epic theatre in 2008. With the Beijing Olympics, China has set the stage for an international audience to both witness and be a part of a grand Chinese play. Shu Yong recreates this play as a Beijing Opera, all on a dream-like stage of bubbles. With a dynamic cast, and so many sub-plots, the show promises to be dramatic.
