Zhang Peili

Zhang Peili is a senior artist who emerged in the first wave of Chinese contemporary art in the 1980s. His seminal video work 30 X 30 (1988) anchors his reputation as one of the most significant figures in Chinese contemporary art and is broadly accepted as being the first video art work produced in China.The exhibition presents two recent works in conversation with two other significant works from the early part of Zhang’s career; Uncertain Pleasure (1996) and Document on ‘Hygiene’ no. 3 (1991). The Zhang Peili exhibition was held at MAAP SPACE, Brisbane 4/8/2012 - 15/9/2012. Format: A2 poster, black & white
