Starting tonight(Wed., May 18) at 20:00, Chongqing's Tank Loft Contemporary Art Center will play host to The Interactive Mirror Image, an exhibit of works by the artist Wang Guangyi(王广义).  Known as the leader of the Chinese contemporary art movement that "erupted" out of China in 1989, Wang gained international acclaim for his 'Political Pop' paintings, juxtaposing government issued communist propaganda imagery, with iconic global brand names such as Coke and BMW.  Having been displayed in galleries and art fairs around the world, including the prestigious Saatchi Gallery, and Art Basel in Switzerland, a selection of Wang's works have made their way to Chongqing for the next three weeks, with the exhibit culminating on Friday, June 10.
