CMA Seminar series - CMA thrust seminar | BOOK A NEW UNIVERSE
The meaning of space in different eras is not exactly the same. Space art has also been iterated with more forms and dimensions in the change of eras. In 2020, Wang You won the Hyundai Blue Prize for the curation of the high-profile exhibition “Dream· Monolith · Revelation” , which has given a new definition to space art. At the same time, the image of a space art festival came into being. In the cognition and imagination of space, what kind of creativity can people unleash? In a changing industry environment, how do art & tech need to connect with public?
By the end of 2023, Looping Space Art Season (LSAS) will break ground at Shenzhen. It will be the first comprehensive tech-art event in China focusing on the theme of space, and it will also be the first new paradigm of art projects that combines art festival and industry fair.
