    The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art presents the exhibition "Christian Dior and Chinese Artists" starting November 16th, 2008 in Beijing.

    Conceived as a highly innovative project, this exhibition creates a dialogue between two continents and two different means of expression, contemporary art and fashion.

    20 Chinese commissioned artists were presented at this important event, which symbolized the opening of a dialogue between two different means of expression, contemporary art and fashion. They were Wang Du (王度), Zhang Huan (張洹), Huang Rui (黃銳), Li Songsong (李鬆鬆), Zhang Dali (張大力), Xu Zhongmin (許仲敏), Liu Jianhua (劉建華), Lu Hao (盧昊), Wang Qingsong (王慶松), Yan Lei (顏磊), Zhang Xiaogang, (張曉剛),Wen Fang (文芳), Shi Jingsong (史金凇), Wang Gongxin (王功新), Shi Xiaofan (時曉凡), Liu Wei (劉韡), Rong Rong & Inri (榮榮和映裡), Tim Yip (葉錦添), Qiu Zhijie (邱志傑) and Ma Yangsong (馬岩松).

    These artists will be presented alongside the designs which inspired them, whether designed by Monsieur Dior, John Galliano, Kris Van Assche for Dior Homme or Victoire de Castellane for the Haute Joaillerie, as well as emblematic objects from the house's perfumes and accessories. The perfumes are placed in a context whose strength extends beyond the era of their creation to project them into Dior's present and future. A selection of creations, sketches and photographs from the Dior archives underlines the historical importance of a house that recently celebrated its 60th birthday, and highlights the key elements that remain a source of inspiration for the future. By allowing these Chinese artists to express its identity, Dior displays its capacity for reinvention in a contemporary world.

   The originality of this project relies on an unusual layout that brings the visitor to the heart of the Chinese art scene, currently one of the world's most innovative, audacious and productive. The works reveal a unique process of confronting Eastern and Western cultures in a futuristic perspective.

   At once a venue of expression and a platform for contemporary creation, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art has established itself in a year as the source of new artistic trends in China. With Christian Dior and Chinese Contemporary Art, the UCCA once again reinvents a creative dialogue as vital and lively as the Chinese art scene.

Over one hundred Dior Couture pieces were sent directly from Paris to exhibit at the UCCA, among which includes the "New Look" which is one of the most influential Couture piece in the history of fashion, designed by Mr. Christian Dior (1095 - 1957) in 1947. After years of variations, the exhibition combines contemporary Chinese art pieces inspired by Dior's most prominent codes, such as Tailleur bar, Façade avenue Montaigne, Dior perfume, Lady Dior, and portrait of Mr. Christian Dior etc., with Couture pieces designed by Dior Couture ingenious Artistic Director, Mr. John Galliano.
