June 27 - August 9, 2008
Survey of Contemporary Chinese Paintings
Reception : Friday June 27, 2008 5:30 - 7:30pm
Gallery 210 starts its summer exhibition season with a special
exhibition co-sponsored with the Center for International Studies
at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The exhibition Contemporary
Chinese Painting from the Harbin Art School: Gao Huimin , Gang Li,
Wang Long Lu Yunshun will feature the work of four artists associated
with the Harbin Normal University in the Heilongjiang Province of
China. Harbin Normal University is well known for its higher education
in the arts, its high quality faculty, and advanced facilities.
As the exhibition title indicates the exhibition features paintings
executed in the traditional style known in Chinese today as guó
huà, meaning 'national' or 'native painting', in opposition
to Western styles of oil painting which became popular in China
in the 20th century. Traditional painting involves essentially the
same techniques as calligraphy and is done with a brush dipped in
black or colored ink.

Jill Viney: Dwelling
Viney's sculptures unquestionably evoke, through their biomorphic forms and their"living light" element, the restless energy of the natural world. Of particular significance to her current body of work is the phenomenon of "living light " or bioluminescence - light produced by organisms such as fish, fungi, jellyfish, mollusks, and sponges among others.
Viney is distinguished from her contemporaries by the inclusion of light in her sculpture and her willingness to allow chance - the uncertain flow of light moment by moment - to affect perception.
Located next to the building.
