this show was incredible...the recent history of design in China, and how design communities are isolated and identifiable by region. Designers themselves have created these communities, before the government reforms, there were no designers, only government employed artist workers. Today, design is a huge part of their push forward.
Four Great things in China:
Cell Phones
Televisions
Houses
and what was the last one?
Some very strange things going on architecturally, for instance a housing complex modeled after quaint English neighborhoods, China's own Tudor village.
They did some beautiful things with type, Chinese characters serving as text/image/symbol in a singular form.
Women came into play when the exhibit looked at fashion and art.
