Cao Fei: "Whose Utopia"
Cao Fei’s 2006 video Whose Utopia highlights the workforce at the OSRAM lighting factory located in China’s Pearl River Delta region. At the time the film was made, OSRAM was one of the largest manufacturers of light bulbs in the world. Fei created the work during her six-month artist residency at the factory. She filmed daily activities, documented the production process and collaborated with workers to develop a variety of performances that were staged and filmed within the factory.

In Creative Harmony explores the ways in which artists inspire each other by highlighting the relationships between three pairs of artists: inter-generational Mexican printmakers José Guadalupe Posada and Artemio Rodríguez; friends and innovators in abstract painting and sculpture Arshile Gorky and Isamu Noguchi; and Nora Naranjo Morse and her daughter Eliza Naranjo Morse, who will be creating new work together for the first time.
