'Zhongjan: Midway' features works by fourteen contemporary Chinese and Australian artists and includes painting, sculpture, installation and video projections from notable contemporary artists Guan Wei, Liu Xiao Xian, Guo Jian, Jin Sha, Xifa Yang, Sally Smart, Kate Beynon, Lionel Bawden, Laurens Tan, Julie Bartholomew, Lϋ Peng, Shen Shaomin, Liu Qinghe and Zhang Qing.

Led by a growing number of expatriate Chinese artists who investigate notions of traditions, globalisation and identity in their work, these artists have developed a creative and unique voice within the contemporary Australian art scene. Their influence is seen in the keen interest in contemporary Chinese art and culture within the Australian art world. Similarly in China, the country’s relatively new associations with other nations has promoted an extraordinary rich and lively investigation by contemporary Chinese artists of the diverse experiences, influences and art styles on offer from new cultures.
