Seven Intellectuals in the Bamboo Forest: Part 1
Thursday, Jul. 24; 1 to 8 p.m., projected continuously, Meyer Auditorium
For centuries, artists have been inspired by the landscape of China’s Yellow Mountain. Internationally renowned artist Yang Fudong expands that perspective of the area in the contemporary medium of video with this five-part series “Seven Intellectuals in the Bamboo Forest,” which is based on a famous Chinese tale. In part 1, Yang follows seven Chinese youths in contemporary dress who are in a permanent state of contemplation atop the mist-shrouded peaks of Yellow Mountain. (In Mandarin with English subtitles.)
