On the occasion of Zhan Wang’s solo exhibition “Garden Utopia” at the National Art Museum of China, artists, curators, critics and practitioners engaged in an open discussion on the relationship between traditional sculpture and contemporary art. Inviting leading Chinese and international art historians, curators, critics and artists, this symposium questioned the public and social nature of contemporary art raised by Beuys’ “social sculpture” and the idea of “intervention”, to articulate new possibilities and definitions for “sculpture” as a medium that informs and engages other material explorations of the social condition.
This symposium is moderated by Fan Di’an, Director, National Art Museum of China and Lu Jie, Director, Long March Project.
Presenters: Lisa Corrin, Lu Peng, Chia Chi Jason Wang, and Zhu Qingsheng.
