Artists: aaajiao, Miao Ying, Lin Ke, Liu Xin, Lu Yang and Ye Funa
A new group exhibition which navigates the messy vitality of China’s online realm – a space where artists can engage, play and debate.
This exhibition features works by six leading new media artists, including a new co-commission by University of Salford Art Collection and Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art (CFCCA), by artist Miao Ying; and also work by aaajiao an artist already in our Collection.
Focusing on a younger generation of artists – the first to have grown up with mass digital technology – Chinternet Ugly invites the viewer to explore the complex and contradictory nature of China’s hyper-regulated digital sphere from the perspective of some of its most dynamic and engaging artists.
