Our Future: The Guy & Myriam Ullens Foundation Collection

»While UCCA’s inaugural exhibition ’85 New Wave: The Birth of Chinese Contemporary Art leapt into the past to examine the foundations of Chinese contemporary art, the Our Future exhibition will give wide-angle view of the work and artistic practice of several generations of artists. Through special commissions and new acquisitions, work rarely seen before will be viewable to the public.

With its fourth exhibition, UCCA reasserts its aim to put China at the heart of its activities by developing an open platform of dialogue between China and the rest of the world.

Featuring around 60 Chinese artists, the exhibition will present no less than 92 works by such prominent names as Chen Zhen, Gu Wenda, Huang Yong Ping, Wang Guangyi, Wang Du, Zhang Xiaogang. New projects, performances and educational works from Cao Fei, He Yunchang, Qiu Zhijie and Yang Jiechang have been especially created for the Our Future exhibition. Recent acquisitions never seen as part of the Ullens Foundation collection from Chu Yun, Yang Fudong, Wang Jianwei, Xie Nanxing and Wu Chi-Tsung will also be shown. Tentacule, a new commission by Shen Yuan, will be on display in the Nave along with a new work by Yin Xiuzhen.

This exhibition is co-curated by UCCA Director Jérôme Sans, UCCA Chief Curator Guo Xiaoyan, and UCCA International Curator Kate Fowle.«
