DASH

From : 2026-04-09 To : 2026-09-18

Cao Fei

Fondazione Prada, Milano, Italy

“Dash” is the upcoming multimedia project conceived by artist Cao Fei for Fondazione Prada. Over the past three years, the artist has immersed herself in farmlands across southern and northwestern China, as well as Southeast Asia, observing and interpreting the emergence of smart agriculture. Combining multiple languages ranging from photography to video installation, from virtual reality to documentary footage, and archival material, the artist traces a complex portrait of a global agricultural technological revolution marked by inherent contradictions. The project reflects on how technology enhances efficiency, reduces labor, and safeguards food security amid climate uncertainty and rural aging. It also explores how algorithms are displacing traditional knowledge, reshaping human-land relationships, and changing rural-urban dynamics, raising concerns about ecology, employment, and cultural continuity.

Ai Weiwei’s first-ever India exhibition to open in Delhi The exhibition will feature key works from across the Chinese artist's practice, including his signature toy-brick compositions One of the most influential voices in contemporary art, Ai Weiwei is recognised for his engagement with politics and society through critical inquiries. Known for pushing the boundaries between art and activism, the Chinese dissident artist’s first solo exhibition in India will be held later this month at Nature Morte gallery in Delhi. “This is my first exhibition in India… although there are only a dozen of my artworks, it covers several key points that trace more than 20 years — and almost 30 years — of my creative activity,” said the artist in a statement released.

The China Moment

From : 2026-01-24 To : 2026-03-22

Group exhibition

Kasseler Kunstverein, Kassel, Germany

Avec The China Moment, l’Institut documenta se consacre à une phase décisive de l’art chinois contemporain. Les années 1980 ont marqué le début d’une période de profonds changements politiques et économiques. Influencé par les réformes de Deng Xiaoping, un nouveau langage artistique a émergé, combinant individualité, participation sociale et perspectives humanistes. Parallèlement, l’ouverture de la Chine et le renforcement du réseautage international ont offert de nouveaux espaces d’expérimentation artistique et d’échange avec les discours mondiaux sur l’individualisme et la transformation sociale. L’exposition montre comment l’art ne se contentait pas de refléter les évolutions sociales, mais les anticipait souvent. Elle rend visible comment les relations entre l’individu, l’État et la société ont évolué, ainsi que quelles énergies sociales, expériences collectives et auto-conceptions individuelles ont émergé durant cette période. Avec des documents d’archives, peinture, photographie, vidéo, installation, son et performance, le The China Moment als Forschungsprojekt und Ausstellung: zugleich archivarisch und erzählerisch. Präsentiert werden nicht nur Kunstwerke, sondern auch die sozialen Kontexte ihres Entstehens – von spontanen Zusammenkünften und illegalen Ausstellungen in Wohnungen bis hin zu experimentellen Club- und Performance-Szenen. The China Moment spannt einen Bogen von den 1980er-Jahren bis in die Gegenwart und untersucht, wie Kunst in China in einer Phase tiefgreifender Transformation die Gesellschaft spiegelte – vor dem Hintergrund eines Wandels von der Globalisierung hin zur multipolaren Gegenwart. Teilnehmende Künstler*innen CAO Fei & OU Ning, CHEN Shaoxiong, Datong Dazhang, HAN Lei, HONG Hao & YAN Lei, JIANG Jie, KAN Xuan, LIN Yilin, Living Dance Studio (Wen Hui), MA Liuming, New Measurement Group (Gu Dexin, Wang Luyan, Chen Shaoping), NI Haifeng, SUI Jianguo, WANG Molin, TONG Sze Hong, ZHAO Chuan, WANG Bing, WANG Guangyi, WANG Tuo, WANG Youshen, WU Wenguang, XIAO Lu, ZHAO Yinou, ZHENG Guogu, ZHOU Tiehai, ZHUANG Hui Kuratiert von Su Wei, Mi You und Anna-Lisa Scherfose.

Zhang Peili

Tai kwun museum, Hong Kong

DigiRadiance | Zhang Peili: A Day, a new solo exhibition, is on view from 21 Jan to 20 Feb 2026 in F Hall Studio. Curated by Associate Curator Shuman Wang, this exhibition features a newly commissioned eight-channel video installation. Across Zhang Peili’s more than forty-year creative career, his exploratory practice has spanned early media such as videotapes and cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions to critical creations in an age of information saturation brought about by the widespread use of the internet and social media. This latest work, A Day, maintains his focus on media technology itself. For instance, here he explores how images generated by AI technology and 3D reconstructions coexist with human memories, illusions, and dreams, and how images are embedded in the subconscious. Across these diverse reflections, Zhang gradually transforms people’s experiential understanding of the real world.

The luminary, ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, USA

Curated by Jameson Paige, Beneath the City, a World draws together artists who use space itself as a medium—remapping archives, quoting architecture, and tracing the residues of place to consider how queer and trans people navigate, build, and remember the world around them. Across installation, video, sculpture, and sound, the works present interior spaces such as nightclubs, living rooms, and bedrooms alongside exterior environments like streets, landscapes, and cities. These sites manifest not as literal representations but as memories, fragments, and temporary interventions—becoming aesthetic indices of queer presence and relation.

Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands.

Maison Ruinart s’associe à l’artiste chinois Liu Bolin pour une résidence artistique exceptionnelle aux Maldives Poursuivant son engagement historique envers la création contemporaine, la Maison Ruinart s’associe à l’artiste chinois Liu Bolin dans le cadre d’une résidence artistique au Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands. Cette rencontre singulière entre art, nature et savoir-faire illustre la vision de la Maison : éclairer le monde par la création et inviter chacun à mieux percevoir l’invisible. Surnommé « l’Homme invisible », Liu Bolin investit les paysages spectaculaires de l’archipel maldivien pour une série de performances et d’installations inédites. L’artiste poursuit son travail autour du camouflage, une réflexion sur la relation entre l’homme et son environnement, une thématique qui trouve un écho particulier dans l’univers de Ruinart et son attachement à la nature et à ses équilibres. À l’occasion de la soirée inaugurale, le EAU Bar, cœur vibrant du resort, s’est sublimé aux couleurs de Ruinart Blanc de Blancs : entièrement réimaginé pour l’occasion, magnifié de flacons iconiques et orné de deux œuvres grand format issues de la collaboration créative de 2018 avec Liu Bolin. Pendant cinq jours, des expériences gastronomiques et des dégustations de cuvées d’exception – dont Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2010, 2013 et 2007 en Magnum, ainsi que Dom Ruinart Rosé 2009 – ont rythmé cette rencontre, avec des menus imaginés en écho aux œuvres de Liu Bolin. Un atelier créatif ainsi que des dialogues avec l’artiste ont permis aux participants d’explorer plus en profondeur les liens entre création, nature et interprétation visuelle. Le 30 novembre, la résidence artistique a culminé avec une performance au coucher du soleil : le corps de l’artiste a été minutieusement peint pour se fondre dans l’horizon mouvant de l’océan Indien, lors de la cérémonie quotidienne « Defining Moment », donnant ainsi naissance à la 11ᵉ œuvre de la collection Ruinart x Liu Bolin : ‘Elements’ À travers cette collaboration, la Maison Ruinart réaffirme sa volonté d’inviter le public à repenser sa relation à la nature et à la création, fidèle à son héritage d’échanges artistiques initié dès le XVIIIᵉ siècle.

Refocusing Photography: China at the Millennium Sunday, June 8–Sunday, November 16, 2025, THE CLEAVLAND MUSEUM OF ART, Cleavland , USA. Born between 1962 and 1969, these artists grew up during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), when conformity was required and past intellectual and artistic products—whether artistic, family history, or documentary—were banned and destroyed. They also experienced the cultural vacuum that followed this erasure. As adults, these artists lived in a radically different China—newly prosperous, individualistic, and consumerist. They helped develop a new visual idiom, producing artworks that addressed their country’s recent history, its swift societal transformation, and their own resultant shift in identity as Chinese.

To create these images he gathers a family’s belongings from their home and arranges the items and family members, photographing them outdoors with the home as the background. Originally working in China during a time of rapid economic development and globalization, Qingjun Huang used this method of staged photographs to record environmental changes, urban expansion, and shifts in people’s lifestyles. The concept of these works encompasses themes of love, work, identity, gender and the passage of time. Through a single photograph, Qingjun Huang is able to depict their external reality and their inner world.

Un ensemble d’œuvres marquantes, accompagné d’archives et de documents, qui témoigne du laboratoire artistique majeur que fut ce collectif dans l'histoire de l'art de la Chine. Rompant avec les systèmes de représentation et de diffusion de l’art officiels, ces artistes recherchaient une liberté d’expression formelle et technique allant de pair avec une affirmation existentielle de l’individu, aspiraient à la créativité dans le lien social et à la spontanéité de l’être ensemble.

En partenariat avec l’association Yishu 8, Huang Xiaoliang présente son théâtre d’ombres fascinant, accompagné de peintures et films, pour illustrer la dualité de Deauville en saison touristique avant que la ville ne retourne à sa solitude. Utilisant la vidéo, la photographie et la peinture, l’artiste chinois gomme les silhouettes et contours du monde pour nous plonger dans un état de contemplation. Une façon d’illustrer la relation complexe entre l’Homme et son environnement, dans des scènes énigmatiques, à la limite du réel.

In nine chapters, around 50 works of art demonstrate how urban landscapes can be reimagined and how the boundaries between social and political, physical and conceptual spaces can be transcended. Through these works, the artists explore a sustainable, inclusive, and just future through the appropriation of public space. Issues such as urbanisation, gentrification, environmental problems, and social inequality inspire critical discussion and drive positive change.

Biennale Images Vevey 2024 – (dis)connected Resident Aliens Place Scanavin En plein air Aux États-Unis, on désigne par « resident alien » une personne résidant sur le territoire national qui n’a pas la citoyenneté américaine. Le projet éponyme de Guanyu Xu met en scène les domiciles d’individu·e·s en attente de régulariser leur situation. Ayant émigré à Chicago, l’artiste chinois s’inspire de son expérience pour élaborer cette série depuis 2020 entre la Chine et les États-Unis. Rencontrant des personnes ayant différents statuts de visa, Xu accède à leur domicile. Il photographie leurs intérieurs et objets personnels, puis imprime ses clichés ainsi que leurs propres archives photographiques. Il retourne sur les lieux et accroche tous ces tirages, avant de photographier son installation éphémère. Œuvre engagée, Resident Aliens met en lumière la complexité de la condition migratoire et la résilience de ceux·elles qui partagent leur vie entre deux pays.Une scénographie originale de Images Vevey et de l’artiste

ArtAsiaPacific Pixy Liao: Through a Lens of Obsession By OLIVER CLASPER Portrait of PIXY LIAO. Photo by Oliver Clasper. For Diane Arbus, it was secretive and perverse. Walker Evans argued that to do it well one has to stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. For the writer Susan Sontag, it was an aggressive tool of power, a predatory act of appropriation. Photography is, by its very nature, an obsessive medium. Even its vernacular echoes something clandestine, almost shameful, akin to espionage: one shoots, frames, captures, exposes; to photograph is to work with triggers, mirrors, hoods, wires, curtains, shutters, darkrooms, and chemical baths. It is an endless list, a relentless index of image-capturing apparatus that also happens to form the machinery that lies at the very heart of our surveillance technology—first as celluloid film; later, as digital video. Art-making is about obsession, too: with a story, an idea, a memory, a place, an object. For Pixy Liao, it is an obsession at once ethereal (love) and tangible (a person), a fixation marked by the slow passage of time, manifested and mechanically reproduced through the cold black box of the camera; more specifically still, as a collection of staged, performative tableaux of her career-defining series Experimental Relationship (2007– ).

WESTLICHT : Museum for Photography, Vienna, Austria

www.westlicht.com INSIDE VIEWS 19.06.–11.08.2024 A repressive autocracy, a global player, an economic superpower with a thirst for expansion – the European perception of China is characterised by a series of recurring attributes. Mistrust and curiosity are just as prevalent as criticism and fascination for the People’s Republic of China. But how do Chinese artists see themselves? What images do they find to depict the realities of life in their country? And what do their personal views tell us about society as a whole? The INSIDE VIEWS exhibition brings together works by eleven artists from China, created from the start of the milennium onward, against a backdrop of rapid economic growth and radical social change. All of the images shown in the INSIDE VIEWS exhibition focus on the individual and their relationship to the surrounding society – whether it be private relationships or dependencies on societal structures. The initial point and motif is often the body. It functions as a foundation for experimentation, as a medium, sign and material. The spectrum of works ranges from Zhang Huan’s (*1965) body stagings following his performances, to Chen Ronghui (*1989) and his series Freezing Land on the consequences of structural change, to Luo Yang (*1984), whose photographs of young women portray a self-confident generation that is nevertheless struggling to find its identity and place.

Zhang Huan helped to establish a small artistic community known as the Beijing East Village,[4] located on the margins of the city. The group of friends from art school pioneered this particular brand of performance in China and Zhang was often reprimanded by officials for the perceived inappropriateness of his actions.[5]

Figure majeure de l'art contemporain Chinois, Xu Bing présente pour la 56eme Biennale de Venise sa dernière oeuvre : Phoenix (Feng Huang). Ses Phoenix, assemblages de matériaux de construction aussi divers que communs, sont une allégorie des profonds bouleversements du paysage urbain chinois et une manière de rendre hommage aux travailleurs ayant construit cette nouvelle Chine. Le Phoenix, animal mythique qui traverse l'histoire et les civilisations incarne parfaitement cette renaissance d'une Chine néo-globalisée.

A performance art movement emerged in 1990s China, centered in the Beijing neighborhood known as the East Village. In reaction to massive changes in the urban landscape and to everyday living, artists put on one-time performances – but they also filmed and photographed each other, creating a new layer of art, says art historian Nancy P. Lin. “Performance is an ephemeral artform that’s dependent on and mediated through photography and video. These forms triangulate across each other and depend on each other,” said Lin, Klarman Fellow in the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S), who will be an assistant professor of history of art and visual studies starting in Sept. 2023.
