Guan Kan 观看: In Conversation with Tami Xiang

We would love to welcome you to join us for a night of stimulating discussion between the eminently talented Chinese contemporary artist, Tami Xiang, and UWA scholar on Chinese contemporary art, Darren Jorgensen. Not to be missed, this event will consist of a presentation by Xiang on her most recent works, including some she has created for her recent PhD, as well as a Q&A session with Darren Jorgensen. Xiang and Jorgensen have curated exhibitions, both in Perth and around the world. This has recently included Beijing Realism which sparked intellectual debate surrounding contemporary Chinese art in Australia. Light refreshments will be provided by the Guan Kan 观看 team.
We are excited to see you at Cullity Gallery (G.22) on May 1st 2025 - don't forget to bring your friends and family!
