- Project Type: Professional Public Programs with TODAY ART MUSEUM
- Project Location: Today Art Museum (今日美术馆), Beijing, China
- My role in the team: Curator of Public Programs for adult programs
When working as the curator of public programs at Today Art Museum, I was dedicated to promoting the accessibility of adult visitors from different backgrounds and groups to the museum through diversified public programs. I developed and executed activities that were both closely related to the exhibition and of various forms for the benefits of audiences with different habits of learning and experiencing art. I was also in charge of the founding and daily running of Today Art Club to listen to and better serve the public’s needs of public programs.
Selected activities were: the public lecture series, in which the featured artist Xu Bing was in dialogue with scholars from diversified academia including poetry, film, psychology, technology, as well as fictions, and an avant-garde live band performance were also held inside the main gallery to echo the exhibition Xu Bing: World Pictures (2019); the curator talks, book talks, dance performance, and sound experiments for De ja vu (2019); the artist talks, 90s’ live music events, and film screening for Look Back into the Sun (2019); the artist talks and interviews for The Latent Paradigm (2019). I was also involved in the early stage preparation of workshops, artist talks, film screening, and music and dance events for the 4th Today’s Documents (2019-2020), during which I built connections with the Embassies of several countries for possible collaboration in cultural programs for the broader public.
