Khan Academy: The Real Thing: Contemporary Art From China

Curated by ACT

This video was brought to you by Tate.org.uk. This exhibition at Tate Liverpool explores contemporary art from China, aiming to convey the sheer diversity, confidence, and ambition of art being made in China today. These predominantly young artists have chosen to remain in China, unlike many of the generations before them, and the majority of the work on show is seen for the first time outside the country. Curator Karen Smith describes the show. [3:50]
