The exhibition China Power Station: Part II includes some of today's most significant young artists from China. Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in collaboration with Serpentine Gallery in London initiated this evolving project, of which the first part was shown at Battersea Power Station in London the year before.
In an event-driven culture, sustainability and legacy are at the core of what an art institution should be. For this precise reason, China Power Station was conceived from the outset as an evolutive form, a multivalent project that shifts according to contexts in its host locales. London never had Chinese contemporary art exhibition of critical mass before China Power Staion: Part I premiered in the UK. Oslo, on the other hand, has had a comparatively denser history of exhibitions on art and culture in China, so the current version is more the result of fine-tuning. This is evident in the decision to focus on a younger generation of artists to emerge post-2000.
The present catalogue includes artist biographies and introduction by the curators of the exhibition.
