On May 23th, The China Pavilion features the theme “Building a Future Countryside” in the Arsenale venue at the 2018 Venice Biennale. "The motivation for this exhibition is more than just xiangchou, a Chinese term that refers to nostalgia for rural lands. We return to the countryside where Chinese culture originated to recover forgotten values and overlooked possibilities; from there, we will build a future countryside", Mr. Li Xiangning, the Curator, says.
