A new exhibition at the Art Factory in Beijing's 798 Art Zone presents dialogues between contemporary and traditional art, the East and West as well as art and technology through a number of artworks from different generations of artists. 

Curated by Duan Shaofeng, the Moving Utopia: Shape and Shadow exhibition was organized by Zhang Zikang, president of the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. 

According to Zhang, the exhibition's title represents the dialogue between contemporary art and people's ideas about beauty. 

The exhibition displays more than 50 artworks from artists including Xu Bing, Sui Jianguo, Yang Hongwei and Lu Zhengyuan. 

After the Beijing leg of the exhibition ends on Sunday, the exhibition will tour to Shenyang, Hangzhou and Chengdu with new content.
