7.18 – 11.8
Smithsonian Institution Arthur M. Sackler Gallery (Washigton DC)
Sun Xun, Still from Shock of Time 2006 Courtesy Max Protech Gallery, New York
Two artists who create animated works based on traditional expressive techniques from their respective home countries. In interesting juxtaposition are Pakistan-born Sikander’s video works in which segments of her richly colored miniature paintings reel and squirm as if somehow possessed, and Chinese-born Sun’s filming of hand-drawn black and white images created using sheets of old newspaper and expanses of white wall.
