Summarization of Content

Exhibition catalogue for the touring solo show by Wenda Gu: Art from middle kingdom to biological millennium which toured various sites in the USA in 2003-2004. 

"Globalism has intensified ethnic difference on a local level while increasing ethnic unity on a global level. This environment (which may or may not be reconcilable) is referred to as "transculturalism" by Wenda Gu whose work tends to parody the role of cultural colonialist from a suspended cultural position as a citizen of the diasporan world."
