Englishman In LA

Photojournalists were allowed extraordinary access to China in 2008 as the country prepared to host the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing.

They documented an evolving landscape of ambition that often valued achievement of the country above the needs of its countrymen.

Images of the construction of innovative buildings, such as the Bird’s Nest, were often in contrast to a darker reality facing the Chinese people.

“Infinity” is a group exhibition of artists whose practices or aesthetics relate to the many facets of the infinite. The Vastness of this concept will be explored through painting, drawing, photography, and 3D multi-media installation. The subject matter as well as the medium will vary greatly. Some artists work may be a more literal representation of this subject, suggestive of such things as mathematics, space, time, technology, abstraction, pattern, or repetition, while others have chosen to address the opposite or “finite”, such as fragility, mortality, the temporary, and even doomsday scenarios.
