- Summary
- The Way of Chopsticks, a transformative, site-specific installation by Song Dong and Yin Xiuzhen exploring generational and cultural shifts in contemporary China. Created by two of China's most acclaimed contemporary artists, the Philadelphia Art Alliance's 2013 centerpiece exhibition will transform the historic Rittenhouse Square mansion into a three-story, multimedia installation that invites viewers to contemplate the similarities and differences between American and Chinese family life. The Way of Chopsticks is supported by the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, The Mindspring Foundation, and The Asian Cultural Council. Inspired by the PAA's history as a private residence, Song Dong and Yin Xiuzhen have collaborated with their 11-year-old daughter, Song ErRui, on an installation that will turn the historic Wetherill mansion into a three-story multimedia exploration of modern family life in China. The exhibition traces the evolution of family dynamics from the 1960s and '70s China of the artists' youth, when large families were the norm, to the increasingly globalized present day where only children, like their own daughter, are fast becoming the majority.
