Collateral Event of the 56th International Art Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia

Organized by Shanghai Himalayas Museum and curated by Shun-kit Wong, the exhibition covers a wide range of media including painting, photography, video, installation, sketch, archival documents, the exhibition features thirteen artists/artist collective and three sections: Peach Blossom Spring – The Imagery of the Past, Metamorphosis – The Imagery of the Reality and Shan-Shui Society – The Imagery of the Future.
