"11 Ceremonies" is the first season of Xi Zhang's painting series "The Switches," the artist's reaction to new social network forms and contemporary technologies. The paintings document our continually shifting online living experiences and identities, interpreted by Zhang through a stunning array of color and fluid form. Xi Zhang is one of the most distinguished emerging artists in Colorado history. In 2011 he received his MFA in painting from CU Boulder, concurrently being named a "Pathfinder" in the visual arts and one of the top artists under 35 by the Denver Post. Later that year he became the youngest artist to deliver a logan lecture at the Denver Art Museum as part of the fall series' focus on Chinese contemporary art. His new works are socially charged, symbolically complex and as visually rich as anything being done in contemporary art in the world today.
