PAST

The first edition of the Yinchuan Biennale which will open with the participation of 74 artists from 33 countries including China and will culminate on December 18, 2016. The YC Biennale 2016 is contextualizing some of the most important issues confronting the world from the scientific to the spiritual, from the psychic to the philosophical, from the catastrophic to the celebratory. The theme chosen for this edition—For an Image, Faster Than Light—is an eonic examination in eternities that the contemporary artists are engaging in to find answers to the questions confronting a vitiated social, political, economic and physical environment, which, of course, is in a permanent flux and perhaps is elliptical in shape where the beginning suffuses with the end. Contemporary creation, social dynamics and cosmic connections are the investigative avenues artists, curators, critics, and scholars are being invited to discover as part of the happenstances and interactions programmed during YC Biennale 2016.
