Travellers Mirror Cities: Chinese and Italian Artists Converge in Venice
There's an exciting exhibition called 'Travellers Mirror Cities' launching on San Servolo Island in Venice, running from April 19 to May 18, 2024, with a sneak peek on April 17. MoCA Shanghai is putting this together alongside Venice International University. Curated by Miriam Sun and Giuliana Benassi, it showcases contemporary talent from both China and Italy, featuring artists like Qiu Anxiong, Josè Angelino, and more. The show ties into the 60th Venice Biennale's theme 'Stranieri Ovunque' (Foreigners Everywhere) and explores cultural links through art. Some standout pieces include Michael Levitt's DNA works and Fu Tong's immersive installation 'Flowing Bodies.' After Venice, the exhibition will head to New York.
