With the title and premise, A Beautiful Disorder, taken from a quote by the artist and Jesuit missionary to China Jean-Denis Attiret in 1743, referencing the stylistic differences between English and Chinese gardens, the Cass Sculpture Foundation has brought together 16 contemporary Chinese sculptors to form an ambitious exhibition, with works ranging from bronze, steel, stone and wood to installation and film.
