Dubbed as an “art feast,” Beijing’s second International Art Biennial will be held from tomorrow to October 20, organizers announced yesterday.
The 30-day event, the largest of its kind in China, will attract more than 400 artists from 67 countries and regions, including such big names as Anselm Kiefer and Gerhard Richter, and more than 700 pieces of work, mainly paintings and sculptures, said Liu Dawei, vice chairman of the Chinese Artists Association, one of the sponsors.
Themed “Contemporary Art with Humanistic Concerns,” the art exhibition, which is scheduled to be held once every two years, will look at human social life and the public this time.
