"Since the mid nineties, Xiaoze Xie has created an impressive body of work. His sumptuously painted and conceptually rigorous paintings of stacks of news papers, decaying books, museum libraries, and media images of current events have been exhibited extensively throughout the US and abroad. During this period, Xie has also created many works in other media including installations, photographs, and videos. Xiaoze Xie: Amplified Moments (1993-2008) is the first exhibition and publication to look closely at work from each series of paintings and works in other media, and includes essays by three prominent authors: Britta Erickson, Dan Mills and Karen Smith. Profusely illustrated."--Book jacket.
