'Xu Bing: Word Alchemy' assembles more than 50 of Xu Bing’s most important woodcut prints, videos, drawings, installations, and other ephemera representing almost 50 years of the artist’s creative output. Starting with Xu’s early engagements with social realism and Western art historical traditions alike, the exhibition charts the evolution of the artist’s linguistic experiments which challenge and expand not only the history of Chinese landscape painting, but the canons of contemporary art. Focusing on the artist’s longstanding engagement with words and language, 'Word Alchemy' is the most comprehensive exhibition on this theme so far. 17134969901
