SUMMARY:SAM Talks | Qiu Zhijie
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with internationally renowned artist\, curator\,
  and educator Qiu Zhijie\, whose work spans ink painting\, calligraphy\, ph
 otography\, video\, installation\, and performance. This talk coincides wit
 h the debut of his new installation inside the Olympic Sculpture Park’s PAC
 CAR Pavilion.\nKnown for his conceptual “maps” that weave together mytholog
 y\, politics\, memory\, and society\, Qiu’s practice bridges traditional li
 terati aesthetics with bold contemporary experimentation. From projects lik
 e Assignment No. 1: Copying the “Orchid Pavilion Preface” One Thousand Time
 s to his long-term Suicidology of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge\, Qiu ch
 allenges how symbols\, repetition\, and erasure shape culture and identity.
  As Dean of the School of Experimental Art at the Central Academy of Fine A
 rts in Beijing and curator of major exhibitions including the Chinese Pavil
 ion at the 2017 Venice Biennale\, Qiu continues to redefine the role of art
  in reflecting and reshaping the world around us.
