Oriental art comes with worldwide influences
By Angela Kelly26/10/2006
MANCHESTER'S rich links with Chinese culture receive a boost
next week when Vital 06: International Chinese Live Art Festival
comes to the city.
The Chinese Arts Centre in Thomas Street is the pivotal point for a
vibrant programme of live art performances, film screenings and
artists' talks by 14 internationally renowned artists, including He
Yun Chang, He Chengyao and Dai Guang Yu all from China, Patty Chang
from America, Leung Po-Shan from Hong Kong, Lee Wen from Singapore
and UK-based artists Mad for Real.
As Sarah Champion, the centre's chief executive officer, explained:
"The artists selected all represent the very best in the world but
their work also tries to directly connect to the audience for an
extremely memorable experience."
Performances will take place at the centre, at Urbis and on the
streets throughout a four-day period starting Thursday and
finishing on Sunday.
