Paul McCarthy: Innocence in Beijing
Date: June 2-17－10 am
Venue: M Woods Museum
M Woods is proud to present a solo exhibition by American master Paul McCarthy, a veteran of the Los Angeles scene and hugely influential to scores of artists across the world. McCarthy has dedicated his career to experimental practices, examining the shortfalls of conventional language and shining a light on the dark side of contemporary culture specifically consumerism and mainstream media as they are experienced in America. McCarthy's 50 years of artmaking have seen him work in nearly every conceivable medium, from painting and sculpture, to performance, video, feature-length film and recently virtual reality. For the exhibition at M Woods, the artist has chosen to present a survey of video, which he has worked with since the beginning and consistently returned to over the course of his career. Showing publicly for the first time in China are 43 works by McCarthy and selected collaborators, made between 1970 and 2013.
