June 13th 2008 at the Coronado Theater in Rockfod IL there is a performance entitled Divergent Minds. This is a performance by The Zough brothers, featuring classical composer Donald Fraiser, and Rick Nielson of Cheap Trick.
The Zhou brother’s are also having an exhibit at the Rockford Art Museum entitled “New Beginnings”. The New Beginning show is running from April 4 – June 29. The title of this show is taken from a piece they created in 2000 titled New Beginning. This painting is featured in the exhibit and is 10 feet by 26 feet (it is the one pictured above). The title also represents the new beginning they experienced after they left their home country of China to have more creative freedom to create their art. The Zhou brothers are some of the first Chinese artists to ever publicly display abstract art.
I went to the exhibit and enjoyed it a great deal. As you learn about the way that they create their art you can definitely appreciate it, even if abstract art is not your most favorite style of art. I have provided a link to the Rockford Art Museum website.
