As an echo to the exhibition “Updating Germany” at the German Pavilion of 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale, UPDATING CHINA will be presented at the pre-opening office of Shanghai Himalayas Art Museum (previously known as Zendai Museum of Modern Art) from Sep. 5 to Oct. 5, 2010. The documentary and art exhibition will feature sustainable development, providing an example to share experiences and know-how from one part of the world with another, drawing attention to our attitudes to various environmental, social and cultural challenges.
The exhibition aims to shed some light on the self-updating of China, including the constant self-adaptation of cities, environments, living conditions, lifestyles, arts and cultural symptoms, as well as the updating on a conceptual level in terms of recognizing and reevaluating the development path of China.
The exhibition consists of two parts: 40 documented architecture samples and artworks of artists and architects from China and German. Names of nominated artists, architects and designers include: Qiu Zhijie, Xu Tan, Liu Guangyun, Yao Lu, Yin Jia, Lin Yilin, Zhang Ke, Yuan Feng, Chen Xudong, Liu Heng, Xu Tiantian, Han Tao, Zhu Xiaofeng, Ina Weber, Julika Gittner, Michael Krenz and Markus Heinsdorff. Works to be put on display vary in forms, including models, installations, videos and performance. The works and 40 documentary samples collectively form an interactive intertextual reading, from which reflection, practices and discussions about sustainable development in contemporary China can be perceived.
