A Conversation with Chicago: Contemporary Sculpture From China Thursday, 22-Jul-2010 06:00 AM - 11:00 AM Discover why contemporary Chinese art has emerged as one of the fastest growing and most dynamic components of the international art scene with this exhibition of large-scale sculpture. Organized especially for Millennium Park, the exhibition brings works by Sui Jianguo, Zhan Wang, Shen Shaomin, and Chen Wenling to the Boeing Galleries.

Coming from different regions and educational backgrounds, each of the artists use different materials and visual styles, but they also show commonalities. Each work is intensely engaged with important contemporary issues such as the energy crisis, materialism, and globalization. They also share inspiration from traditional Chinese art, commercial culture, folk art, and industrial machinery as they explore ways to react to a public space.
