Zhang employs such formats as a means of entry into less familiar and less inviting notions of social-economic imbalance both in her home country and abroad and in doing so often illustrates how illusive these things can seem from different cultural vantages. The images often counter their meanings in their lush color and elegant compositions drawing the viewer in only to reveal the hidden underpinnings of their reality.<br/><br/> O Zhang was the recipient of The Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center Artist Fellowship (NY), Wilson Centre for Photography fellowship and Fuji Film Student Awards (London), winner of RCA Photography Graduate Award (London), and nominated/short listed for numerous awards including Chinese Contemporary Art Awards (Beijing), Beck’s Future Award (London), Creative Capital Awards and The Louis Comfort Tiffany Biennial Award (NY).<br/><br/><a href="http://www.artslant.com/ny/artists/show/11567-o-zhang?tab=PROFILE" target="_blank">Read more ></a> <br/><br/></p>http://sparkburnfade.com/post/391334760http://sparkburnfade.com/post/391334760Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:41:28 -0500<iframe width="400" height="323" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/fmyuRLFDobw?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Chairlift - Bruises</p>http://sparkburnfade.com/post/391318914http://sparkburnfade.com/post/391318914Mon, 15 Feb 2010 15:31:46 -0500
