Catalog Design | Exhibition | Storytelling

After Mao died and the Cultural Revolution ended, a new artistic generation embraced western Modern Art again, and this time, the avant-garde movement emerged with a more radical tone of social and cultural transformation.

This exhibition catalog documents the significant events that happened during the Cultural Revolution and how three artists, Ha Qiongwen, Feng Zikai, and Li Zhengsheng, photographed or illustrated their works. The second part of the catalog presents ‘80s New Wave and social reform in China. Artists Yue Mingjun, Xu Bing, and Zhang Zhaozheng reinterpreted and expressed different perspectives on the Cultural Revolution through their works.
