Shanghai Biennale 5
3 more days before the opening of the most important visual arts event in China these years. With "Techniques of the Visible" as this edition's theme, exploring the relationship between humanity and technology "in particular how art has revealed the interdependent social and political forces that produce and subject technology and humanity," it may be a bit disappointing by the use of images in the official website. I wonder if the images of the city, apparently in their most stereotypical sense, echo with the curatorial statement claiming:
Taken from the ancient Chinese philosophy of 'ying xiang' (image), the concept emerges from an interest in the visual products of modern technology that retain critical historical and emotive references.Well I may be cynical... probably because this year I could not join the opening. See if I have chance to visit the works of the artist friends from Hong Kong: Hung Keung, Ellen Pau, Young Hay, Leung Meeping and Miranda Tsui before it ends on 27 November.
