Contemporary Chinese Art from the Logans

I just returned from a presentation and model walk through for the upcoming “Transforming Traditions: Contemporary Chinese Art from the Logan Collection!”  This exhibition is the third in a series of student-curated shows supported by Kent and Vicki Logan and is based on two different classes of students who have done all the work.  The model of the gallery looks great and I can’t wait to see all of these pieces in person.  Below are a few pics to whet your appetite.
