My dad recently introduced me to China born, France residing artist Yan Pei-Ming, and his new exhibition "Landscape of Childhood"- currently showing at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing. The exhibition features 34 large flags, painted in stark black and white with the faces of endangered children in China. Steel tubes descending from the gallery ceiling blow powerful gusts of wind down on each flag.
When I saw the video my dad took, I was immediately struck by the originality of the presentation, and the beauty of how the art moves in space. I can only imagine what it's like in person.
My dad wrote about the exhibition for his New York Times Style blog, where you can also see the video of "Landscape of Childhood" in action. Check it out:
