Goethe Open Space is a project of the Department for Culture and Education (DCAE) of the General Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany in Shanghai. Each year the space will be open to present a half-year art-related project. It aims at providing space for young and emerging artists to present their practice and at the same time stimulating the dialogue between China and Germany in the field of contemporary art. Following The Living Room and Zilch, “9m² -Museum” will continue to present The Indeterminate Boundless by Wang Sishun, Social Meditation – Drift by the Museum of the Unknown and The Screen Generation by aaajiao. During the exhibition, curators, critics, writers and artists from both China and abroad will be invited to attend project-related lectures and seminars. All these solo projects endeavor to cast light on the status quo of Chinese contemporary art from the following aspects: Self-construction and identity of Chinese contemporary art under the background of cultural globalization; The inheritance of traditional culture and aesthetics in the contemporary context; Interdisciplinary art practice and social intervention; The evolution of contemporary art language within an information-based social structure.
