ArtReview Asia Xiàn Chǎng features solo projects, by artists from around the world, situated both inside the fair and spanning the entire space of the West Bund district. The curatorial concept originates in the Chinese characters for ‘Xiàn’ and ‘Chǎng’, which together mean the scene (of a crime, accident, etc.); (on) the spot; (at)the site. The artworks on show explore how art generate context — and how the ‘contemporary’ aspect of it is as much about space or place as it is about time.
