Mindy Meng Wang 王萌 and Tim Shiel
🎼 Mindy Meng Wang and Tim Shiel’s collaborative project draws upon archival recordings of Mindy’s guzheng and reworks these into new compositions. The result is a unique and wonderful dive into the spaces that exist somewhere on the fringes of electronica, pop, avant-garde experimentation and classical Chinese tradition.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
🇫🇷 French Impressionism is a major exhibition developed by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in partnership with the National Gallery of Victoria. The exhibition charts the trajectory of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism in late nineteenth-century France, highlighting the renowned avant-garde artists at the centre of this period of radical experimentation, who boldly rejected the artistic conventions of their time.
Through ten thematic sections, French Impressionism will evoke the artistic energy and intellectual dynamism of the period by placing emphasis on the thoughts and observations of the artists themselves. Their words, as recorded in letters, journals and articles, will reveal the mutual admiration and personal connections that united the practitioners at the centre of this avant-garde movement.
