April 26, 2011   Visual Arts   California College of the Arts' Visual and Critical Studies Symposium 2011 Featuring CCC Artistic Director Abby Chen   This Sunday, Xianrui Curator and CCC Artistic Director Abby Chen will present at the California College of the Arts' Visual and Critical Studies Symposium. This presentation is the culmination of CCA's Graduate Program in Visual and Critical Arts, which Abby has been working towards for several years. She will present On the Edge of Culture, Two 1.5 Generation Artists in America, her specialty both in study at CCA and in practice through curatorial work at the CCC. The presentation will draw from the art of two XianRui artists, Stella Zhang (2010) and Zheng Chongbin (2011), as examples of a 'new manifestation of cultural fluidity, constructed precisely as a result of dislocation and social difference.'
