The Triennial exhibition opens from 6th
September to 16th November 2008 at the Guangdong Museum of Art
and its satellite museum, Time Museum, both in Guangzhou. The
181 artists taking part in the exhibition comes from over 40
countries.
The Triennial Exhibition is structured into
4 sections:
1. Projects in
Progress: Scrutinised in the 5th Station of the
Forums in Motion, these 17 projects form our “interlocutor
partners” in the sense that they are seen to explore and/or
extend the initial topic of this Triennial from artistic
angles. Each Project reflects a different engagement with the
socio-political world. The artist acts as artistic creator
while taking part as researcher and activist of some sort.
Projects in Progress are open to development and thus remain
“unfinished”. They form a platform of analysis, and prompt
discussions of: what is the role of investigation and research
in the context of creative art? How does an artist make use
of, and ‘digest’, raw reality?

2. Thinking Room:
These 18 projects can, hopefully, help us to unpack/decode
secrets of the creative process; they display the battery of
thinking tools used by these artists, and provide witness
accounts of the site of creation. They illustrate methods of
thinking and explore contemporary art as a mode of knowledge
production, while prompting reflections on the significance of
the knowledge generated by art.

3. Free Radicals:
These 54 individual artists range from video, installation,
painting, writing and performance. They display the
Post-colonial context of the art scene today; taken together,
their artworks/projects arrive at an artistic terrain that
goes beyond the reach of Post-colonial and Multi-cultural
discourses, and open up special realities delineated by
artistic practices.
