Video Event: Robert Adanto's "The Rising Tide" -- Chinese Video Artists
We take a detour today with a clip from Robert Adanto's, "The Rising Tide, a New Documentary on Chinese Contemporary Art." Many thanks to Robert for his kind permission, enabling us to post this clip on Asiabizblog.
Please note as well that Mr. Adanto's film will preview at the The Smithsonian Institution's Hirshhorn Museum on November 13 (details below).
In his beautiful debut film, Robert Adanto explores the work of some of China's most talented emerging video artists and photographers and their personal responses to the country's rise as a global economic, political and cultural force. This is a unique opportunity to see this elegant and thoughtful film, introduced by the director.
Featured artists include: Cao Fei, Wang Qingsong, Xu Zhen, Zhang O, Chen Qiulin, Yang Yong and Birdhead
The Rising Tide was recently part of CHINA NOW in the UK, as it was part of Constant Stream: China 08 at the Royal College of Art in London, where it screened with a film by acclaimed Chinese director Jia Zhangke.
