Wednesday, March 19, 6:30pm
Guggenheim Museum
1071 Fifth Avenue

Cai Guo-Qiang’s recuperation and interrogation of Maoist revolutionary tactics as acts of a socialist utopianism are key to the context of his work. The panel, which includes major figures in Chinese contemporary art, scholarship, and the avant-garde, examines the history of these subjects as well as communitarian approaches to art making including a reliance on agit-prop and spectacle.

Moderator: Carma Hinton, Clarence J. Robinson Professor of Visual Culture and Chinese Studies, George Mason University

Participants: Zhang Hongtu, artist, New York; Gao Minglu, art historian, curator, critic, Pittsburgh; Wang Mingxian, independent scholar/curator, Beijing
