Sun Xun: Shock of Time
Hangzhou-based artist Sun Xun works with drawing to explore the analogous relationship between the moving image and the recurrent cycling of history; in particular, China’s ongoing cultural, artistic, and political evolution. Accompanying Sun Xun: Shock of Time, the first museum exhibition in New York devoted to the work of the Xun, this publication features stills from two hand-drawn animations, shown together for the first time: Shock of Time (2006) and The Lie of the Magician (2005) which combine drawing and printmaking techniques with animation. Scholarly essays consider the relationship between history and myth in Xun’s work.
