The birth of BeijingDance/LDTX (Lei Dong Tian Xia, literally translated as Thunder Rumbles Under Heaven) in September of 2005 caught widespread international attention, and captured the imagination of artists in China. Born in a time of rapid cultural change, they became China’s first professional dance company founded independently from government. Created by veteran choreographers and a new generation of dancers in China, BeijingDance/LDTX is a catalyst for the modern and contemporary dance movement there.

This five-channel video installation by Japanese artist Chiho Aoshima traces the cycles of nature in a surreal, vibrantly colored landscape full of fantasy and wonder. Influenced by Japanese manga, anime, and woodblock prints, Aoshima depicts a hybrid world in which the past and future and the organic and inorganic have merged. Beginning with a garden paradise, Aoshima’s scenes morph into cityscapes where living skyscrapers sprout during the day, only to be overgrown at night by a landscape filled with ghosts and fairies. Cycling from day to night and from rural to urban, this mesmerizing work presents both an apocalyptic and utopian vision that nonetheless offers a promise of hope and regeneration. The exhibition will be open during regular gallery hours until February 9; after February 9, the exhibition will be open Friday-Sunday until the exhibition ends March 2.

The Western Front, Christmas Eve, 1914: out of the violence of the Great War’s trenches comes a silence, then a song as a young German soldier steps into no man’s land singing “Stille Nacht.” Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, and peace. Through new arrangements of European carols and war-songs for a capella voices, “All Is Calm” recalls the remarkable World War I truce between Allied Forces and German soldiers in no man’s land on Christmas, 1914.
