Venue: Sewall Courtyard, Rice University
In a unique cross-cultural collaboration,
Taikang Space, Beijing and Matchbox Gallery, Houston present YOU ARE DAMN WRONG
on 10th April, 2014, an exhibition of works by emerging Chinese artists, as
interpreted and executed by students from Rice University and University of
Houston. Featuring work by the artists Liu Chuang, Liu Xinyi, Su Wenxiang, Xin
Yunpeng, Zhao Yao, this exhibition represents the Matchbox Gallery’s participation
in the contemporary Asian art festival, My Voice Would Reach You, organized by
the Chao Center for Asian Studies at Rice University. As a joint undertaking
between young minds in both China and Houston, YOU ARE DAMN WRONG forges a bridge
across nationalities. Recreated and reimagined by Rice University and
University of Houston students, these newly mediated artworks explore what it
means to translate, in both a literal and figurative sense, the political
conditions of another culture.
