Artist Talk & Book signing : Rian Dundon, Changsha

Friday, December 14th 6-8 pm

Gallery Carte Blanche is pleased to invite you to its new artists' talk and book signing event featuring Rian Dundon for his book Changsha.

CHANGSHA is a book of photographs and text produced over six years living and working in mainland China. Moving beyond the urban-centric/scenic/iconic structures, which dominate the current visual record of China, this book looks at the complications of rapid change in smaller provincial cities and prefectures far removed from the country's coastal metropoles. Tracing a personal narrative across the diverse geographies of these regions, Changsha tells the intimate stories of people living in a society set on fast-forward. Theirs is a legacy of inconstancy, dislocation and sustained cultural shift. China is a civilization in flux. Changsha is a city on fire.
