  • The Narrative of Modern China on Display at the Met

    By Alyza Liu, bostonese.com

    New York City, March 12, 2014, — When most people think of modern China, it’s not usually through the lens of its fine arts or innovative design; when most people think of Chinese art, it doesn’t tend to be through the lens of modernity. Those who are more politically aware might knew of Ai Weiwei, the artist and activist who achieved international fame through exhibits such as Sunflower Seeds and his work on the architecture of the Bird’s Nest Stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, or his 2011 arrest. Those culturally minded may know of Liu Bolin, dubbed ‘The Invisible Man,’ who recently gave a talk at the TED Conference.
