Born under China\u2019s one-child policy in the 1980s and raised amidst the country\u2019s recent social and economic changes, China\u2019s \u201clost\u201d generation has gained a reputation for unprecedented individualism, ambition, and distinctive sense of humor. Curated by Nicky Ni, this program brings together a group of emerging Chinese artists whose work contemplates their unique connection to the greater cultural narratives and phenomena of China\u2014from the emergence of the People\u2019s Republic of China in 1949, to the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s and 70s, to the country\u2019s social and economic transformations in the last two decades. Through poetic reenactment, parodic performance, or punky intervention, featured artists Tao Hui, Hao Jingban, Yang Luzi, Yao Qingmei, Liu Yefu, Zhou Yan(MFA 2015), Ji\u016b Society, among others, piece together fragmented individual and collective histories to make new meaning from the past.<\/span><\/p>\n
