Pulling from a collection of prints recently donated to St. Olaf College, the selected works in this exhibition works illuminate an era that transformed China as it moved from Confucianism through Communism to Consumerism. Traditional Chinese New Year\u2019s prints, Communist propaganda posters, rare Chinese magazines, and unique fine art prints highlight issues of modernity, shifting gender roles, and China\u2019s relationship to the West.<\/p>\n<p>The last century has seen extraordinary shifts in one of the world\u2019s most powerful, yet least understood, countries. From declaring the Republic of China in 1911 to fending off Japanese invasion, ongoing cultural revolutions to subsequent economic boom, China\u2019s evolution during the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century can be readily followed through its visual culture. <i>Mixed Messages<\/i> invites viewers to experience this history through prints, posters, and ephemera.<\/p>\n<p>This bilingual exhibition is co-curated by Professors Karil Kucera and Ka Wong in collaboration with the students of AS270\u00a0<i>Visual Culture in Modern China<\/i>\u00a0and Professor Wong\u2019s <em>Foreign Language Across the Curriculum<\/em> (FLAC) class.<\/p>\n<p><b>Opening Reception<br \/>\n<\/b>Friday, November 1<b><br \/>\n<\/b>7 \u2013 9 pm,\u00a0Opening Reception, Flaten Art Museum<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lecture<\/strong><br \/>\nFriday, November 15<br \/>\n7pm,<i>\u00a0The Art of Chinese Politics<\/i>, Richard Bodman, Associate Professor Emeritus of Chinese and Asian Studies, Center for Art and Dance 305<\/p>\n<p><b>Museum Tours with Student Curators<br \/>\n<\/b>Thursday, November 21,\u00a011:30 \u2013 12:30 pm (Community Time)<br \/>\nSaturday, December 7,\u00a04 pm (Prior to Christmas Festival)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extended Christmas Festival Museum Hours<\/strong><br \/>\nDecember 6: 10 am-8 pm<br \/>\nDecember 7: 2 pm-8 pm<br \/>\nDecember 8: 12 pm-5\u00a0pm<\/p>\n<p>Museum closed for Thanksgiving Break: November 27 \u2013 December 1, 2013<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u8baf\u606f\u4e07\u53d8: \u4e8c\u5341\u4e16\u7eaa\u4e2d\u56fd\u7248\u753b\u827a\u672f NOVEMBER 1 \u2013 DECEMBER 8, 2013 What messages are conveyed through the visual form?
