IMITATION POP AND CONTEMPORARY UKIYO-E POP IN 3-D

BY USHIO SHINOHARA

ART ASIA Fair Miami 2010 is pleased to present two projects by internationally

acclaimed Japanese pop artist Ushio Shinohara. The first project is an installation

that explores Shinoharas early iconic pop works, beginning in the early 1960s

with the invention of Shinoharas self-coined genre Imitation Pop. The works

shown at ART ASIA represent Shinoharas artistic dialogue with artists Robert

Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, while representing the innovative and humorousnature of Imitation Pop.

In the second project Contemporary Ukiyo-e Pop in 3-D, Shinohara draws on

Kabuke theatre and ukiyo-e paintings of the 18th and 19th centuries to form

contemporary ukiyo-e creations made of cardboard, wood, paper, collage, magic

markers, and paint. These works are lively and erotic, following in both the

ukiyo-e and pop modes of expression.

ART ASIA Miami 2010 is pleased to present Liu Xiaodongs (b. China, 1963)

Hometown Memory Series, a limited-edition set of seven copperplate etchings,

available exclusively through Ullens Center for Contemporary Art. Each of these

never-before-seen etchings features a black-and-white photograph from

Liu Xiaodongs personal collection as well as a sketch and short caption written

by the artist. These simple sketches and line drawings reflect on Liu Xiaodongs

childhood in Chinas most tumultuous years, while simultaneously creating a visual

and written commentary on his views on painting and the content of art itself.

ECSTASYbY Lin Xin

A mixed-media installation, comprising electronic albums, video installations,

and oil paintings depicts the life of a virtual human engaging in visual and

spiritual experiments in the form of 3-D simulation, this work depicts the

humanoid on three levels: as a representation of the virtual electronic

experience, as simulated via virtual images, and as an expression of will and

desire removed from everyday life. Lin Xins work, while stemming from the

computer art genre that was so popular in the late 90s in China, is innovative

in its ability to use media to create a virtual vision in an electronic world.

NEW CHINESE PAINTING: HOT & SPICY

During one of Ethan Cohens most recent visits to China, he was struck

by the talent he encountered at the Sichuan Academy of Art in Chongqing.

Constantly looking for fresh work and emerging artists, Cohen made studio

visits and extensively met with the local artists. While all of them have gone

through extensive and rigorous academic artistic training, each has developed

an effective individual mode of expression. This special exhibition presents thework of tentalented oil painters from Cohens trip to Chongqing: Feng Bin,

Liu Wei, Yu Hongbo, He Pei-li, Zhang Jiedong a.k.a. Adong, Li Jie, Wang Lei,

Yang Hui, Zeng Lingxin, and Zhou Ying. All of the artists hail from Chongqing,

and although each employs a distinct style and technique, they are all

representative of the uniquefacets of Sichuanese culture so vibrant in this

region of China.

DOMUS VULGUSby ApnAVi thAcKer

Artist Apnavi Thacker, as part of The Guild Art Gallery Co-Lab presents

Domus Vulgus at ART ASIA Fair Miami 2010. Domus Vulgus, inspired by

Bombays congested slums, intends to create an exchange between the

slum shack and its viewers while eliminating the preconceived notions of

how slum dwellers live. During this performance piece, Apnavi Thacker

will live in a shack, placed within the grounds of ART ASIA Miami, within

strict and simple means, attempting to re-create an experience similar

to actual slum dwelling. This piece is a testimony to the transient nature

and uncertain future of the slum community.
