After the successful holding of the "Utopia·Heterotopia - Wuzhen International Contemporary Art Invitation Exhibition" in 2016, the "Time Begins - 2019 Wuzhen Contemporary Art Invitation Exhibition" organized by Cultural Wuzhen Co., Ltd., and initiated by Chen Xianghong served as the exhibition chairman will open on March 30, 2019 (Saturday) in Wuzhen, China. Feng Boyi is the main curator of the exhibition, and Wang Xiaosong and Gang Liu co-curator. This exhibition invited 60 artists/groups from 23 countries and regions around the world to attend, with a total of 90 works/groups in the exhibition. It not only covers common art types such as installation, imaging, behavior, and painting, but also includes art forms that are still being explored, such as sound, smell, lighting, interaction (design), and online art. Among the diverse exhibition works, 35 pieces are the first to be exhibited globally, and 30 pieces of them are created for the exhibition theme or the cultural environment of the location. These art works that originated in Wuzhen will touch more than just Wuzhen.
In addition, the exhibition will also establish a "Youth Unit" for the first time as an organic component of the entire exhibition. Through the process of "nomination- exhibition-award", 12 artists will be selected to participate in the exhibition and one first, second, and third prizes will be awarded (one for each prize), providing a platform for the growth and exchange of Chinese young artists. Exhibition location: Wuzhen, China (North Gate Silk Factory, Granary, West Gate Scenic Spot); Exhibition time: March 31 to June 30, 2019
