On November 15, 2019,“Roots of Clouds Adrift - Temporality: OCAT Nanjing Public Art Project 2019”exhibition opened in OCAT Nanjing Qixia Exhibition Site. XiangJing was invited to attend and participate in the exhibition.
The exhibition is sponsored by OCAT (Overseas Chinese town Contemporary Art Center), and curated by Mr. Zhu Zhu, the well-known art critic and curator, who has proposed a three-year public art proposal. Every year, internationally-renowned artists from China and other countries will be selected to make public art in the designated area of the OCAT Project in Qixia District, where their works will blend seamlessly into the geographical, recreational and residential space of the area in an effort to transform this area into a first-rate outdoor art museum.
“Temporality”, emphasizes creative understandings and expressions on “Now and Here”, championing review and reexamination of the historic heritage, traditional values and modernization through artistic practices. Such emphasis on temporality will be exemplified by “Roots of Clouds Adrift”, the second themed exhibition for this ambitious art project.
