The Museum of Chinese in the Americas is a museum dedicated to reclaiming, preserving, and interpreting the history and culture of Chinese and their descendants in the Western Hemisphere. Funded in part by LMCC's 2005 Production Grant, Virtual Salon is a photography exhibit of works by the Chinese Artist Network (CAN), an innovative organization that connects and promotes emerging Chinese artists based in the United States and China through the faculties of the internet. CAN became a phenomenon for the unique way it was formed and for how it has positioned transnational artists of Chinese backgrounds into the mainstream contemporary art world. Through an examination of CAN's work, Virtual Salon shows how the digital revolution has affected today's artists and challenges the available discourse surrounding contemporary art.
