Aicon Gallery in London will present Rasheed Araeen's solo exhibition 'Before and After Minimalism, 1959 - 1974'. The exhibition ranges from works he made in Pakistan such as 'My First Sculpture' to key minimalist works such as 'Sculpture No.1', 'First Structure' and 'Second Structure'.

The Gallery at REDCAT is pleased to present the first Los Angeles presentation of two influential contemporary artists who pioneered the field of video art in China: Hangzhou-based artist Zhang Peili and Beijing-based artist Zhu Jia. Coming out of a generation that witnessed the ramifications of the Cultural Revolution, the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre and the infamous 1989 China/Avant-Garde exhibition at the National Museum of Contemporary Art and its subsequent closing by state authorities, Zhang and Zhu use video to navigate the complex and shifting terrain that characterizes contemporary China.

It is the moment when the show is elevated into something extremely grand and memorable.
