On Wednesday, December 7, join China Institute and the Beijing Contemporary Art Foundation for “The Boundaries of Sculpture,” a panel discussion with acclaimed contemporary artists Liang Shuo, Song Dong, and Yu Fan, moderated by John Rajchman of Columbia University.
The discussion will primarily focus on the practice and evolution of sculpture in Chinese contemporary art. The three participating artists represent different artistic generations of Chinese contemporary art who are deeply influenced by the traditional aesthetics and culture, yet are vitally responsive to the world at large. With their use of alternative materials and approaches, they have redefined the understanding of traditional monumental sculpture and pushed the boundaries of three-dimensional object making in order to engage with the public sphere and urban space. In this dynamic panel, the artists will reflect on their own work and discuss how they diversify the interpretation of sculpture as well as its relationship with public art.
This program is part of the Chinese Creative Cultural Leaders series developed by the Beijing Contemporary Art Foundation with partners around the world.
