By turns spectacular and sombre, provocative and poignant, this isn’t just a showcase of some of this country’s best visual artists, but an exploration in how Chinese culture increasingly informs – and is embedded in – Australia’s own”” said Benjamin Law. —- ISBN: 9780646927381 | ISBN10: 0646927388 | ISBN-13: 978-0646927381
