'In the current context of geopolitics, Zizhiqu or Autonomous Regions refers to at least two possible notions of geopolitical institutions, the first being a relatively autonomous, self-governing zone within a nation-state institution, and the second being a reference to utopian and more conceptual and temporary projects of social life. To claim autonomy in the field of contemporary art no longer signifies following the modernist tradition of art’s autonomy promoted by classic modernism. It is now crucial to reintroduce the connection and mutual engagement of art and real life in our time. Here, autonomy signifies the particular role of the language and regime of artistic imagination and experiments in the social transformation today, which needs much effort in envisioning and creating autonomous zones within the social and political structure to intervene and interrupt the dominant and hegemonic system of political, economic and cultural power.

For this exhibition, entitled "Zizhiqu" (Autonomous Regions), we have invited 16 artists (groups) from around the world to present the idea of autonomy in the various forms it takes in artistic expression.' (Abstract from Times Museum website)
