Edited by Qiao Cui. Foreword by Jérôme Sans. Text by Yaoyao Wu.

Renowned Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson (born 1967) and the young Chinese architect Ma Yansong (born 1975) collaborated on an installation in which light and architecture merge to warp the viewer's experience of space. Eliasson's artificial fog, illuminated with fluorescent red, green and blue lamps, engulfs Ma Yansong's curving wooden floor that continually forces visitors to adjust their balance.

Looking Both Ways

Art of the Contemporary African Diaspora

Published by Snoeck Publishers, Ghent/Museum for African Art, NY.
Edited by Laurie Ann Farrell. Essays by Okwui Enwezor, Laurie Ann Farrell, Jos» Antonio B. Fernandes Dias, Laurie Firstenberg, Steven Nelson, Salah Hassan and John Peffer.

Looking Both Ways: Art of the Contemporary African Diaspora considers the work of artists from North, South, East, and West Africa who live and work in Western countries, including Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States. As its title indicates, Looking Both Ways refers to the artists' practice of looking at the psychic terrain between Africa and the West, a terrain of shifting physical contexts, aesthetic ambitions, and expressions. It examines the relationship between physical contexts, emotional geographies, ambition, and freedom of expression while focusing on the increasing globalization of the African Diaspora. Looking Both Ways is not a survey, but rather an intimate consideration of the work of twelve artists: Fernando Alvim, Ghada Amer, Oladªlª Bamgboyª, Allan deSouza, Kendell Geers, Moshekwa Langa, Hassan Musa, N'Dilo Mutima, Wangechi Mutu, Ingrid Mwangi, Zineb Sedira, and Yinka Shonibare.

Chen Zhen: A TributeChen Zhen: A Tribute

Published by P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center.

During the last five years of his life, Chen Zhen expended his energies to create a body of work that poetically articulated his knowledge of traditional Chinese culture and Western avant-garde art. Born in Shanghai in 1955, Chen grew up during the tumultuous years of the Cultural Revolution. When China transitioned out of that era, he became interested in combining traditional Chinese philosophy (forbidden under Maoist rule) and Western practices as an alternative to the government's official cultural ideology. The resulting body of work held as a central theme the creation of harmony through difference, taking the human body, illness and medicine as metaphors, mixing cross-cultural social dynamics before multiculturalism and globalization had ever been articulated. Exploring the intricate and often paradoxical relationship between the material and the spiritual, the community and the individual, interior and exterior, Chen used sound and everyday materials such as candles, beds, chairs, and even chamber pots, linking the physical world to the spiritual, ritualistic one. The result was an aesthetic immersed in the traditional past but aligned with the present. This catalogue accompanies an exhibition held at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in tribute to the artist, who died from a rare medical condition known as autoimmune hemolytic anemia in 2000, in Paris, where he had emigrated as an art student in the mid-80s.
