Delighted to share Samson Young and Yuan Yuan’s participation in the 12th Shanghai Biennale in the exhibition ‘Proregress——Art in an Age of Historical Ambivalence’ curated by Cuauhtémoc Medina. Given the centrality that the development of China and Chinese cultural production has in defining the complexity of our current world, the Shanghai Biennale appears as an ideal place to show both the role of contemporary art as a critical sensibility of the dialectic of emancipation and power.
