Dinu Li : Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is Mystery

3 Jun-5 Sep 2010

Overview

‘Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is Mystery’ is a solo show by Dinu Li, a UK and China based artist, featuring past and recent works, plus a work from a new commission for QUAD. Li’s exhibition illuminates his continuous research into the structures defining contemporary China’s cultural development. Li draws upon a rich archive of materials including films, drawings, family snapshots, old postcards, and propaganda imagery, to reconstruct a complex world of fantastical imagination, against the backdrop of a historical and political epoch of time.
