Widely exhibited in Europe and America Monahan and Schniger\u2019s new work bares the influence of their recent experience in China, especially the constructive (and de3structive) energy of China\u2019s drive to modernisation.<\/p>\n

Schnitger also particepated in this year\u2019s Shanghai Bienalle, where she addrdssed the theme of \u201cUrban Creation\u201d with a monumental textile sculpture. Her installation mimics the imagery and signage of comstruction zones, city slogans,and pedestrian instructions.For \u201cCivilized Special Zone\u201d at the Chinese European Art Center, Schnitger and Monahan extends the theme into a playful maze-like structure, that combines sculpture,drawings and installation. Schnitger will present an imposing sculpture that fuses traditional and modern Chinese fashion textiles, into a rebellious hybrid of history, genres and artforms<\/p>\n

Monahan will exhibit a complex series of \u201cblueprint\u201d drawings. Produced with his own monoprint technique of folded carbon paper and rice paper, the drawings depict a wide range of imaginary places, human formations, and ornamental structures. The factuality of the bluprint format combines with the intricatedly hand drawn in a strangly serious cartoon world: endless cities, walls, parks and gardens, armies, and raw materials, appear and dissappear in a kaledescopic procession of linear designs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
