Koehnline Museum Exhibition: Jiang's Philosophy in Motion
The Koehnline Museum, located at 1600 Golf Road in Des Plaines, Illinois, presented an exhibition of Jiang's work from December 14, 2006, to January 26, 2007. Jiang's art is described as philosophy in motion, with the essence of line and modern truth as constant themes. The exhibition also contextualized the work within the broader art historical narrative, noting that during the Modernist era, many serious women artists were excluded from consideration. It was not until the Feminist movement of the 1970s that sculptors like Louise Bourgeois and Ruth Duckworth, who began their careers earlier, gained recognition.
