China Power - Art Now After Mao

Once considered off-beat and exotic, Chinese contemporary art is now at its peak, with previously unimaginable prices achieved at international auction. China Power is a dynamic film about this burgeoning vibrant art scene, at a time when the world is looking east. It’s a exploration of how Chinese Art has caught the worlds attention and how the art market is developing as fast as the country’s economy. Contemporary Chinese art is reaching out, crossing boundaries and searching for its position on the global stage. The artists featured in the film live and work in China – they are the ‘rock stars’ of this art world, living a lifestyle more synonymous with New York than the Peoples Republic of China. China Power is filmed in high definition on location in China, Uk and Norway and beautifully shot to show the juxtaposition beween the old and new China.
