Since the end of the Cultural Revolution a whole new generation of artists has emerged in mainland China. This striking new volume presents seventy five artworks by twenty seven of these young Chinese artists. Covering all media, works by artists and collectives such as Birdhead, Double Fly, Irrelevant Commission, Liu Di, and Ma Qiusha have opened a window onto a new China, a society that has undergone rapid industrialization and globalization in the past two decades.
