The symposium brings together thought leaders, top scholars, artists, and curators to reflect on current contemporary art practices as a means to define cultural and community spaces. The symposium format features pop-up presentations, critical conversation, and case study lectures to pursue a dialogue on how curatorial strategies act as a form of resistance, and as a mode to progressively shape and reshape art, the artist, and the art space.The symposium asks:How do you position or rethink Asian American art and culture in a transnational, global context?What role do cultural creators play in social consciousness?How do art institutions, largely dominated by white curators and leadership, resist and provide alternative and diverse narratives with cultural centers, community spaces?How do you, and is it possible to, re-model art practices?- Please visit our website for more, including speaker and artist bios. We encourage RSVPs through our Eventbrite. ----------------------------------------------------------------Saturday, August 11, 20189am-12:30pmLocation: CCC Auditorium, 750 Kearny St. 3RD FLOOR
---------------------------------------------------------------About XianRui:CCC Artistic Director Abby Chen created the Xian Rui series a decade ago to highlight the work of underrecognized, mid-career Chinese/Chinese diasporic artists by curating their institutional solo exhibition. Xian Rui creates a platform to elevate the work of artists who deserve more critical attention and complicate the bounds of ‘Chinese Culture’ through supporting a range of artists’ approaches to conceptualizing and making work. Through the support of CCC, many of those artists have since grown in their professional careers and their creative practice.
XianRui: 10 Years runs from now until September 22nd at the Chinese Culture Center, 750 Kearny Street, 3rd Floor.
