THE SILK ROAD

there's an interesting exhibition at the Tri Postal Lille called La Route de la Soie (The Silk Road) featuring artworks from the Saatchi Gallery London. The exhibition holds more than sixty works from several oriental artists from the Mediterranean world to China.

i was particularly impressed by the social comments through the art concerning the treatment of women and minority groups.

Also there's a sculpure relief map - a vision of a city - made of dog chews!
