Da Wei Xu and Diane Willow are co-curating
the new media exhibition themed Air and Water.

Scheduled to be presented from October 31st through November 14th, 2008,
this collaboration will include a range of perspectives and ways of working.

Together, the art faculty and students of the Beijing Film Academy and the University of Minnesota
explore a new context for sharing their diverging, emerging and elastic notions of new media.

These interpretations of new media reflect the approaches of artists working within a film academy and
artists working within an art department and a collaborative arts program within a research university.
