One of China's Leading Female Photographers On Display in New York#
Eli Klein Fine Art will present a solo exhibition of new photography by
Cui Xiuwen#
, one of China's top female photographers. The show, titled "Existential Emptiness," displays her latest series, which reflects on the woman as individual in today's China. The monochromatic photos evoke imagery from traditional Chinese ink painting and contemplates ideas of existentialism and its exploration of the self, as well as emptiness as a direct experience of events and detachment of the mind.
The Beijing-based Cui has had major group exhibitions include the Centre Pompidou, Paris; Tate Modern, London; International Center of Photography and Asia Society and Victoria & Albert Museum, London; and the MoMA PS1. She has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Bordeaux; Forence Museum; and the Today Art Museum in Beijing but this is her first solo exhibition in New York.
The exhibition will be on view at Eli Klein Fine Art from January 19 through February 27, 2011 and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by Michel Nuridsany.
