7th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale

The Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale was first launched in 1998. Since its inception, the exhibition has employed a rather loose definition of sculpture and form for its exhibition framework, engaging in exploration and experimentation in the public nature of contemporary art as it pertains to the issues revolving around Chinese contemporary art and its connection to society and culture. The Biennale draws particular attention to the public nature of contemporary art, while raising the various issues relating to contemporary art in the face or urbanization and development. It strives to create a channel for dialogue and discussion between the artworks and the people of Shenzhen. This year, the exhibition is organised by OCT Contemporary Art Terminal and is entitled "Accidental Message: Art is Not A System, Not A World" in an attempt to acknowledge the importance of the individual spirit, systems, and orders, in both creative practice and collective imagination of the world.
