Poetry goes no further than language: A historical moment of art becoming art again, is a new exhibition at at Buxton Contemporary
Poetry goes no further than language revisits a defining moment in 1980s China, when a group of artists began to question all existing values and presumptions about art.
Featuring works by the Beijing collective New Measurement Group and Shanghai-based artist Qian Weikang, the exhibition brings these seldom seen experiments to Australia for the first time, alongside a new commission by Melbourne-based artist Darcey Bella Arnold.
Curated by Liu Ding and Carol Yinghua Lu.
Free tours in English and Mandarin begin at 12.30pm in the foyer on selected dates.
