LONDON, ENGLAND.-The V&A will show the first major survey of Chinese photography and video from the past decade, featuring work by a new generation of Chinese photographers and video artists.

With contemporary Chinese art attracting interest around the world, 'Between Past and Future: New Photography and Video from China' is a varied and compelling selection. Featuring 60 works by 40 artists, the exhibition reflects the energy of younger Chinese artists. The works, by both rising stars and established names, are often monumental in scale and experimental in nature. Together they capture the vivid responses of Chinese photographers and video artists to the rapid cultural, social and economic changes taking place in China.

The exhibition includes work by Wang Quingsong, Hong Hao, Qui Zhijie, Sheng Qi, Liu Zheng, Song Dong and Zhang Dali. There is also work by Rong Rong who recorded the performances and lives of the artistic community of Beijing's East Village in the early 1990s. Female artists include Xing Danwen and the young Beijing artist Cui Xiuwen.

As well as introducing an extraordinary body of work to a UK audience, the exhibition will provide remarkable insight into the dynamics of Chinese culture at the start of the 21st century.
