Shanshui: Echoes and Signals is a thematic exhibition with works drawn from the M+ Collections to explore the complex connections between landscape and humanity in our post-industrial and increasingly virtual world. Shanshui, the Chinese literally meaning ‘mountain and water’ and commonly translated as ‘landscape’, is a cultural legacy integral to Chinese philosophical thinking and poetic imagination and has motivated a millennium-long tradition of ink painting across East Asia. Attuned to the interplay and resonance between stillness and motion, as well as space and time, shanshui offers a powerful framework for understanding humankind’s relationship to nature.

Venue address: South Gallery, M+
