LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA "MIGRATION ADDICTS"


52nd International Art Exhibition "La Biennale di Venezia"
Migration Addicts Curated by Biljana Ciric, Karin Gavassa

Migration Addicts began as an ongoing project two years ago in Shanghai, investigating how migration re-determines issues related to human identity, gender and spiritual needs. The fast expansion of urban spaces, following the model of big cities, has led to new social conflicts within the social structure. Recently the tension between Western and Chinese traditional values and lifestyles, as well as the late arriving of capitalism and the persisting communism, have not hindered the Chinese impulse towards assimilating the “international standards”, while fostering its own economic development.
