At the Seattle Asian Art Museum, I laughed when I realized that I could actually read these very large scrolls! It was much harder to realize that up close, but upon backing up, it becomes clearer. 1/2
Two scrolls hanging side-by-side with characters that at first resemble Chinese calligraphy but are actually stylized English words. On the left, "Moving Forward In Time" and, smaller, "Xu Bing" (the artist's name). 
On the right, "Learning From The Past" and, smaller, "For Seattle Art Museum".
