Beijing - one of China’s and the world’s oldest cities - and its historical evolution are at the centre of an exhibition that retraces the key phases of the development of this Chinese mega-city. Inhabited since the Neolithic Period, the location of the origins of Homo Erectus Pekinensis, capital of the Chinese People’s Republic for over 70 years, Beijing has played, over the centuries, various roles according to the successive imperial dynasties and the geo-politcal context at any given time. Archeological finds, furnishings, clothing and vintage photos which summon up the history but also the customs of the city are presented in this permanent display which, in chronological order, thematic and highly educational, help the spectator to realise the mega-city’s historic and cultural wealth. It becomes apparent that Beijing, while being so oriented towards the future, finds, within its historical layers - even now, indispensable in fully understanding its genesis - its true DNA and its uniqueness.
The largest exhibition for an artist who is considered a seminal figure in contemporary Chinese art. Kinetic, video and interactive installations ranging from monumental structures to vernacular objects created in recent years.
The 19 artworks on display span three decades of Viallat's career, offering a comprehensive view of his long and tireless exploration of materials and pigments.
A leading figure in the British Black Arts Movement of the 1980s, Himid is renowned for her paintings and installations that challenge dominant historical narratives.
Xie Nanxing and the Detachment from the Real World
In Xie Nanxing's paintings, the subjects are absent. This choice opens up infinite interpretations. A freedom that is often disconcerting and forces the observer to linger.
