CAM to present first exhibition on Chinese design

Beginning in October, the Cincinnati Art Museum will present China Design Now, the first exhibition in the U.S. to explore the recent explosion of new design in China.

The exhibition will feature the work of emerging and established Chinese fashion designers, graphic artists and architects, and will explore how these designers are mixing global influences with their own in a time of rapid cultural and economic change.

According to Artdaily.org, China Design Now is structured in three sections, leading visitors on a journey through the cities of Shenzhen’s graphic design scene, Shanghai’s fashion and lifestyle, and Beijing’s architecture and urban planning.

Over 250 objects will be on display at the exhibition, which will run through January 2009.
