SEATTLE – Through June 30, 2023, the Seattle Asian Art Museum presents Beyond the Mountain: Contemporary Chinese Artists on the Classical Forms, its second special exhibition since the 2020 debut of the reimagined and reinstalled museum. Beyond the Mountain features work by six contemporary Chinese artists that takes as inspiration the classical mediums and subjects of Chinese art — ink on paper, archaeological artifacts, and landscape painting — to tackle urgent and complex present-day issues. Creating in a range of media, including video, multimedia installation, painting and photography, these artists address ideas including globalization, migration and the impact of human life on the natural world.
