K11 Art Foundation (KAF) and the Palais De Tokyo (Paris), in their first co-produced exhibition, are proud to present “Inside China:L’Intérieur du Géant” in Shanghai this August. The exhibition, which was well-received during Art Basel in Hong Kong, will be held in Shanghai at chi K11 art museum, located on B3, Shanghai K11 Art Mall. Dedicated to the discovery and presentation of emerging art scenes in China and France, the exhibition represents a three year collaboration between the two institutions first established in October 2014. The exhibition is also aimed at introducing French audiences to contemporary Chinese artists in dialogue with French artists.
As an evolving and travelling exhibition from Paris and Hong Kong which brings the works of Chinese artists back to Shanghai and introduces works from French artists to Chinese audiences, “Inside China : L’Intérieur du Géant” is continuing to grow. This year, the exhibition is proud to showcase eleven artists: Cheng Ran, Mathis Collins, Renaud Jerez, Li Gang, Edwin Lo, Jonathan Martin (artist-in-residence of Pavillon Neuflize OBC), Nadar, Aude Pariset, Wu Hao, Yu Ji, and Zhao Yao.
Co-curated by Jo-ey Tang, appointed by the Palais de Tokyo and Victor Wang, appointed by the KAF, “Inside China : L’Intérieur du Géant” will feature young contemporary Chinese artists in dialogue with artists from France. Together, they represent a new wave of creators whose work calls into question the over-production, monumentality, and rapid development which they witness in their surroundings, often embedding these challenges into their own systems of production.
