ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

As the newly-appointed curator of Chinese Pavilion at the 55th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, Wang Chunchen in his newly-published books <The Democracy of Art> and <The Political Images> displays his academic research findings from daily observations. If the Venice Biennale is taken as a time node for Wang, those two books record his research processes leading him to this time node, which, from other side, show his research traces, his concerns with society and this epoch by the discussions of art.

Note:

Please collect entrance tickets from the front desk 30 minutes before the program starts.
