The publication is produced on the occasion of the exhibition of the same title held in the Center for Chinese Contemporary Art from January to April 2014.
The exhibition unites more than 30 contemporary Chinese artists over 6 venues in Manchester, responding to Asia Triennial’s theme, 'Conflict and Compassion'. The exhibition re-examines the 'conflicts' and 'harmony' of Greater China, as well as that of Asia and the world. It contextualizes these amidst the unprecedented political reform, economic development and rapid urbanization that Mainland China has seen in the past three decades. The curatorial vision identifies a 'harmonious society' that presents no conflict and extends its cultural and philosophical connotations to be perceived in a global context.
Including plates of art works and artist biographies.
