Museums in town had been closed for months and the cancelling of our museum visit back in January was then turned into this online talk. To help individuals form their own views when they encounter contemporary Chinese art, our guest speaker, Dr Angie Chang Baecker (Lecturer, Department of Art History, The University of Hong Kong) offers us her knowledge about the field, looking closely at the exhibition “From Revolution to Globalization” and the significance of the Sigg collection at M+ museum. She situated the show in the converging spatial complexes for contemporary art represented by the museum, and discussed how the exhibition’s reception has highlighted some of the contradictions inherent to the display of the Sigg collection.
