Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Phoenix Art Museum has always had a thing for Asian art. Its permanent collection of Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian artworks is not only massive, but also well-regarded. The “No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong” exhibit is another amazing gem in PAM’s new series of exhibits featuring the work of contemporary Asian artists.
Fudong, born in Beijing in 1971 and originally trained as a painter, has steadily amassed international fame for his beautifully composed photographic and video works. For this show, Fudong’s 35-millimeter black-and-white film installation, which gives a nod to traditional Chinese handscroll painting, will be projected onto eight separate screens.
Tuesdays-Sundays. Starts: July 8. Continues through Sept. 14, 2008
