Synopsis by Rob Ferrier
Produced by Lydia Chen, this program looks at some of the artists that are stretching the boundaries of Chinese culture, putting themselves at risk in the interests of their art. In China, the new focus in art is inward looking -- a stance influenced by Western ideas and quite alien to traditional Chinese views. The narration provides a historical and political context to the works and artists considered.
