The University of Chicago's David and Alfred Smart Museum of Art's current exhibit is contemporary Chinese art that responds to the world's largest dam building project on the Yangzi River. The works are compelling and eerie responses in video, oil painting, ink painting on long scrolls and an earth work. The Three Rivers Gorge project has displaced over 1,000,000 people and required the relocation and tearing down of hundreds of towns, temples, and other historical sites.
