Cao Yu: Passing Through the Human World at Galerie Urs Meile, Beijing
This exhibition includes short videos, photography, multimedia installation, performance, sculpture and on-canvas art. While much of Cao Yu's creations in the early years after her graduation from the academy were rooted in her own individual experience, her recent works attempt to cut right to the heart of the ultimate theme of human nature, creating a highly distinctive and incisive artistic interpretation revolving around such subjects as living, encounters and separation.
