The New Normal: China, Art, and 2017 at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art displays works by artists from home and abroad.

The New Normal: China, Art, and 2017 shows the creations of some 23 artists from home and abroad.

A bulk of the Chinese artists were born in the decade after the country adopted reform and opening-up.

The exhibition, which runs until July 9, is being supported by more than 30 sponsors, including Shanghai's West Bund Group and Linyao Kiki Liu, director of Beijing's Sishang Art Museum.

The exhibition shows how artists respond to today's world in which universal values, such as freedom and openness, are being challenged, or even replaced.

Philip Tinari, director of UCCA and the exhibition's chief curator, says every featured artist has a distinctive perspective on the current global situation, and the bulk of the artworks are being shown for the first time.
