The Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University has mounted an unprecedented exhibition of contemporary Chinese artists. Featuring works by 25 artists and filmmakers, Future Returns: Contemporary Art from China explores the increasing shift in China’s cultural landscape from a traditional society into an ultra-modern nation-state. Among the works on view is this sculpture by Sui Jianguo titled One Cubic Meter of Darkness, 2011. A hollow cube constructed from six steel walls, a single small aperture allows viewers to peer into its pitch black interior, creating a sense of physical displacement from a brightly lit room to that of complete and utter darkness.

The exhibition also includes a work by media artist Miao Xiaochun, who will be subject of an international Rogue Wave Projects exhibition at L.A. Louver in 2015.

Future Returns is on view at the Broad Art Museum through March 8, 2015.
