Join us for a sneak peek of the upcoming exhibition "Out of the Shadows: Contemporary Chinese Photography" at the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) in Balboa Park starting March 7. Beginning with the innovations of the pioneering Chinese photographer Lang Jingshan (1892–1995), the exhibition introduces eight contemporary neo-traditionalist artists who continue to explore the possibility of transformation, extension and reconstruction of the Chinese aesthetic tradition in a postmodern context. Hear from Tiffany Wai-Ying Beres, curator and UC San Diego Visual Arts Ph.D. student, followed by a panel discussion by visiting artists Shi Guorui and Yang Yongliang, and moderated by Professor Kuiyi Shen.

Cosponsored by UC San Diego Visual Arts and Museum of Photographic Arts.
