Changing Geography of Art in Beijing
It seems that the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA), opened by a Swiss collector some three years ago, has become the center of art life in Beijing. But there is a new vista in the offing. Another structure, currently under construction, will probably share the limelight with it, if not totally overshadow the UCCA's role in the Chinese art scene. (Global Times, January 5, 2011)
Cloud Looms Over Chillida's Sculpture Park
Sculptures by Eduardo Chillida housed at the eponymous open-air museum in the Basque country—set to close this month owing to a financial deficit—will not be sold, said a representative of the institution. Over 40 sculptures by the Spanish artist, who died in 2002, are dotted around the Museo Chillida-Leku, the 12-hectare, hillside museum located in the town of Hernani near San Sebastian in northern Spain.

Breaking Out of District 9
My work is informed by my experiences as a result of my mixed African heritage. I was classified “colored” under South African apartheid classification, but being fair-skinned, I was simultaneously labeled as “whitey” within this community. My work explores the confines of these narrow labels. I aim to reflect on and counter the systems and their legacies, such as imperialism, colonialism, and apartheid, which exert influence on African history, art, memory, and identity, and which reify identity and culture, rendering them homogenous and static. I show, instead, that they are shifting, contradictory, liminal, and diffusive.
