The contemporary art scene in China

A panel discussion to coincide with the Ai Weiwei exhibition at Magasin 3

8.5 2012

Stockholm

What is unique for the Chinese contemporary art scene? What makes it different from the West? The relationship individual / collective – it is possible to “read” that in the art? The personnel resources that exist in connection with the creation of art in China – it is a strength or a weakness? Can art be free in a non-democracy?

8 May 2012, at 6 pm
Venue: The Auditorium, Moderna Museet
