More About
Gallery owner Deborah Colton has lived in Asia for years, and her decision to have Kóvskaya curate was a good one. By my figuring, only four out of the 25 artists are also in the MFAH show. Kóvskaya has put together some pretty interesting, if sometimes uneven, work. The slams in her essay against the foreigner favorites — Chinese "political pop" and "cynical realism" — are pretty amusing. You can tell this is someone who has been on the ground in Beijing and is pretty cynical about a lot of highly touted Chinese contemporary art. Whether you agree with her or not, this is a good chance to see some work you probably won't see elsewhere.
