8 Cities
8 Museums
120 Artists
Throughout the Ruhr region in 9 locations, China 8 brings you several exhibitions of contemporary Chinese art unlike anything that has been seen in world, to this extent, so far with130 artists showing with some 500 works.
Whilst a visit to just one participating museum is certainly a good experience, I can only urge you all to take the time to visit more than one house. Not only will your eyes be opened to the how young Chinese artists see the world, but you also then begin to understand the rich and diverse cultural landscape we have here in North Rhine-Westfalia. So far I have seen 4 of the 8 exhibitions, the Skulpturenmuseum Glaskasten Marl being my favourite. The focus here is on videos, and what I saw there was just spellbinding. I could have stayed all day!
