Comments on: Of performances in America http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/orenstein07/?p=84 Seminar 1 with Professor Orenstein | HN C100 | W 3:10-5:40 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 17:26:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: lfreire http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/orenstein07/?p=84#comment-49 lfreire Tue, 02 Oct 2007 00:52:14 +0000 http://macaulay.cuny.edu/seminars/orenstein07/?p=84#comment-49 Interesting point about the differences in both Chinese and American society. The clash of ideologies is certainly a determining factor in how different people view a particular work of art. The effect of different cultures on individuals is evident. As you mentioned, the challenges Huan faced as a result of the oppression in China are exemplified through his work. I find that his work is a perfect example of a person's relationship to their environment. I guess an interesting thing to think about is how different stages can have a completely different effect on how an art work is presented. There was a reason why Huan came to America to present works such as "My America". In my opinion, the themes he presented were more related to what American people envision while Huan's works in China were more linked to his native culture. Overall, interesting post!
