The exhibition introduces viewers to Chinese landscape painting, discloses its many meanings, and reveals its hidden messages. It provides insight into China’s culture, philosophy, and literature, while at the same time addressing the relationship between humankind and nature. The dialogue between past and present reveals surprising links, but also ruptures and conflicts. The exhibition juxtaposes historical masterpieces with landscape representations by modern and contemporary artists. The show presents ninety works from six centuries, including paintings, installations, and video works.
