Whitechapel Art Gallery says…

Whitechapel Laboratory's multimedia exhibition juxtaposes the videos and photographs of Chinese conceptual artist Wang Jianwei with the art of Turkish filmmaker Ali Kazma, highlighting the pair's differing art practices. Jianwei's hyperreal works examine his home country's changing face in light of its economic development, which puts the artist at constant risk of political censorship. Kazma's stylised, colourful video pieces, meanwhile, are detailed explorations of the day-to-day machinations of workplaces, from clothing factories to slaughterhouses.
