The annual group exhibitions at Red Gate Gallery (Watchtower) and 798 / Red Gate Gallery (Dashanzi) feature recent works by Red Gate Gallery artists.

The exhibitions offer a unique lens to review and discover new perspectives in contemporary Chinese art.

Altered States #1 at the Red Gate Gallery, Watchtower addresses the impact of the changing environment in China – social, geo-political and economic – on the lives of its people through the paintings, sculptures and photographs of featured artists Zhu Wei, Zhou Jun, Lv Peng, Wang Yuping, Guan Wei and Li Gang.

Altered States #2 at 798 / Red Gate Gallery focuses on issues of cultural and social change affecting China today. Migration, displacement, changing cityscapes and social values are addressed and subtly interrogated in the works of featured artists Wang Yuping, Guan Wei, Han Qing, Sheng Qi, Su Xinping and Liu Qinghe.

The exhibitions run in both galleries from 20 December 2007 to the end of February 2008.
