Contemporary Photography in China Lecture

Chinese contemporary art is all the rage these days as the hedge funders look to score an undiscovered future superstar. So it makes sense that the confluence of Chinese art and photography - also hot - should start getting some attention.

On Friday, The School of Visual Arts will host Artists Talk on Art: Contemporary Photography in China featuring respected photo critic A.D. Coleman discussing highlights of China's contemporary documentary photography scene. Technically this is not an artist talking on art, but why pick nits?

Friday, Jan 27, 7pm
SVU Amphitheater
209 East 23rd Street, 3rd floor
$7 admission (SVA students, free)

If you're in Chicago, check out the "Made in China" exhibit now showing at the Museum of Contemporary Photography. The show is accompanied by a number lectures and gallery talks, including a Chinese New Year's Party tonight (though it's held a little early in the evening to be called a party. More like a soiree.)

Through March 4 at the Museum of Contemporary Photography
