Beijing gallery hosts a group exhibition of artists from New York City

New York-based artist Spencer Sweeney is in Beijing on his debut visit but he's far from lonely.

He participated in the opening of the New York By Night exhibition in the Chinese capital on Friday.

The ongoing group show of works by him and 16 other artists based in New York at the HdM gallery displays paintings and installations by Sweeney and the other artists he met in the past two decades. The show presents the artists' ties to the city.
