Synopsis

The New China is the Internet and text messages, fitness clubs and luxury brands, urban landscapes and a market economy. It is a reality of new values and the estrangement from older ones, a continuous transformation that has shaped the lifestyle and attitude of today's young adults - and among them, the artists and the art they create.
In this volume we are introduced to thirty young artists representing this New China. Through a presentation of representative artwork, interviews with the artists, profiles written by a team of international art writers, and supporting essays on topics ranging from urbanization to business and lifestyle, the reader is given a fascinating look at this new generation of artists - and thier peers - in a country living a unique historical moment.
