BERKELEY, CA.- The University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAM/PFA) announces a major exhibition of contemporary Chinese art that will open at the museum in fall 2008. Mahjong: Contemporary Chinese Art from the Sigg Collection is drawn from the collection of Uli Sigg, a Swiss collector whose close links with China since the late 1970s have enabled him to build a collection that is unrivaled in quality, scope, and size. The exhibition will feature a selection of approximately 120 works by 92 artists, including exceptional paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, video works, and installations spanning four decades.
Mahjong: Contemporary Chinese Art from the Sigg Collection will open at BAM/PFA in September and run through December, 2008 (final exhibition dates will be announced in early 2008). Concurrent to the exhibition, the Pacific Film Archive will present a number of film series featuring feature-length films and shorts by Chinese filmmakers.
