ASU series features contemporary artist from China The Doorways International Program Series presents Xuewu Zheng on the topic “Contemporary Chinese Arts and Artists’ Lives” Thursday, Nov. 20, at 3:30 p.m. in room 028 of the Belk Library and Information Commons. Building on traditional Chinese arts, which command a great part of China’s rich cultural heritage and are influenced by western ideas and modern technology, Chinese contemporary arts have developed a distinctive style. Chinese artists have produced a wide range of experimental works, multimedia installations and performance happenings which have become highly noticed and respected in both the domestic and the international art scene. Xuewu Zheng, an artist from Beijing, will shed light on the life of contemporary artists in China and discuss other fascinating aspects of Chinese contemporary art. Zheng is a visiting professor in the ASU Department of Art. His works were the cornerstone of the exhibit “Dancing with the Dragon” at the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts earlier this semester. His paintings, printmaking and installation pieces have been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout the world. The Doorways series is co-sponsored by Belk Library and Information Commons and the Office of International Education and Development. Its goal is to provide a platform for people to share their research and knowledge on international issues, and build relationships on campus based on interest in international affairs.
