An exploration of a modern day concept of Chinoiserie; relationships, aesthetic responses and perceptions of China

This exhibition brings together artists from the UK and Canada whose work or practice is affected by their connection to China. The exhibition explores how pervasive Chinese culture, industry and aesthetics are in our everyday lives, be them actual or perceived.

This exhibition has subsequently been developed by Eliza Gluckman into Sinopticon, which toured nationally from April 2011.
