Two generations
People born in the 1980s are the first generation in China to be tagged with a term related to their birth years. The term now carries cultural and social implications-members of the post-80 generation grew up in a social context different from their parents and grandparents, therefore they have formed a different outlook on life. Studies on this generation continue even after people born in the 1990s have grown up. I Recognize the World-Born in the 1980s and '90s, an ongoing exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Yinchuan, in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region of Northwest China, teams up 21 artists to provide a glimpse of the two generations. The display of paintings, sculptures, installations, mixed media and experimental art reflects the different perspectives of those born in the two decades. The show runs through Jan 9.
