At Bates College Museum in Lewiston
June 7th - December 14th

As China becomes the political and economic focus of the international scene during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Stairway to Heaven offers a unique context and opportunity to present the response of Chinese artists to the resurgence of China.

This exhibition presents layers of diversity through multiple voices, strategies, and techniques of the seventeen Chinese artists represented. The exhibition focuses on the changing relationships between artists and streets, monuments and skyscrapers with a subtext exploring the multi faceted art boom in China.
