EXHIBITION SYNOPSIS
Conversation•2008•Image China - A Gallery With A ViewPhotography as art, or art as photography?
There have been two schools of photography existing in Chinese Photographic circles since 1990's. One is the contemporary art Photography, also known as the conceptual Photography. Another is the classic Photography. For years, these two schools have been competing fiercely for the dominant position. In 2002, the argument was broken out during the Pingyao International Photography Festival. It generated a tension between these two schools. However, today the two schools co-exist peacefully. One embraces the other with passion. Even documentary images and vintage photographs from early ages have become the treasures in the art market.
Said a critic, the best way to appreciate photography is to make it art. Now, has art honored photography, or photography honored art?
Maybe, you are able to find the answers to this question in the exhibition Conversation•2008•China in Images.
