Moving Perspectives: Yang Fudong: Seven Intellectuals in the Bamboo Forest, Part I
1 pm - 8 pm

For centuries, artists have been inspired by the landscape of China's Yellow Mountain. Internationally renowned artist Yang Fudong expands that perspective in the contemporary medium of video with his five-part series Seven Intellectuals in the Bamboo Forest, which is based on a famous Chinese tale. In Part I, Yang follows seven Chinese youths in contemporary dress who are in a permanent state of contemplation atop the mist-shrouded peaks of Yellow Mountain. 2003 / 30 min. / single-channel video / Mandarin with English subtitles
