Indepth Arts News:
"Order: Installation and Paintings by Xiaoze Xie"
2000-05-20 until 2000-08-27
Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art
Scottsdale, AZ,
USA United States of America
Xiaoze Xie was born in the People's Republic of China and studied architecture and art in Beijing
before immigrating to the U.S. in 1992. Much of the artist's work explores the effects on society
of cultural ideology and indoctrination; of censorship and the struggle for free expression.
Using
photography in a very painterly manner, Xie creates haunting images of burning books that
reflect the destruction of knowledge by political extremists. Organized by the Scottsdale
Museum of Contemporary Art, curated by Debra L. Hopkins, Curator of Exhibitions.
