Mei Guo (The Beau Monde-The Beautiful World) (2008-07-25 - 2008-08-30)

Mei Guo (The Beau Monde-The Beautiful World), an exhibition of site specific, mixed media installations by Asian American artists and Asian artists who live in America, will be on view at Contrasts Gallery, No. 181 Middle Jiangxi Road, Shanghai, from July 26th-August 30th 2008. The exhibition is curated by Lilly Wei. An opening reception will be held on July 26th from 6-8pm. Mei Guo refers to both America and “The Beau Monde.” It is a descriptive metaphor that is a reference to beauty, spectacle and place, not an elite milieu, as the French term denotes. The title of the exhibition implies an expansive situation, acknowledging the heady interconnectedness of an increasingly globalized art world. Contrasts Gallery promote their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com.
