XIAOZE XIE

AMPLIFIED MOMENTS 1993-2008

Born in Guangdong, China, Xiaoze Xie is one of the most prominent of China’s contemporary artists. His expressive paintings of decaying books and newspapers— carriers of cultural memory—evoke the tenuous nature of history. This traveling exhibition of recent work is curated by Dan Mills, director, Bates College Museum of Art, and organized by the Samek Art Gallery, Bucknell University.
