Title: "Unexpected Frivolity"
Date: June 23- July 12, 2007
Location: K Art Gallery
  Beijing, China

“Unexpected Frivolity” is an international art exhibition jointly sponsored by Beijing Da Art Space (BDAS) and Beijing K Gallery in Beijing. The aim of the show is to provide a platform for intercultural dialogue between three Canadian and five Chinese artists. Bruce Parsons, Hao Xuepeng, David Cheung, Mao Xiaolang, Shi Tou, Cao Ting, Jiao Zhentao and Lee Ritian deal with coalition formation and work in different media styles. These art works with their highly accurate local imaging texture, have reconstructed a simple and overlooked representation of everyday life to display the absurdity of politics.

Artists and the individual destiny of their works have been entangled in the anonymity of the vast modern consumer world. Whether it is noticeable or not, it is out of their own control. These works are not recognized and yet cannot be denied as they become part of the world's basic structure.

Therefore, in such a structure of closed circulation, is it possible to build a bridge to reach the other side with the power of art critics? As for the enthusiastic utopian artists, their conclusion may be met with surprise.
