The Chinese pavilion will be curated by a team headed by Lu Zhengyuan, a lecturer of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and an artist in his own right. On show will be paintings, sculptures, prints, installations and videos by artists who are among the top of their generations.

Lu says the exhibition will not only show the diversity and dynamics of the Chinese contemporary art scene but also the far-reaching explorations of Chinese artists in dealing with emerging issues of human society by borrowing wisdom from ancient philosophers.
