Press Release. For Immediate Release.
FORUM: THE SPIRIT OF LITERATURE IN THE 1980s
The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) in Beijing is a not-for-profit, independent art center, one of the first to be developed in China. Recognizing multiple geographic and cultural perspectives, UCCA is creating a platform for dialogue around current social and artistic experiences.
A program of events will offer access to film, music and performances, and create dialogue with artists, academics, curators, and critics through seminars and conferences, while UCCA’s education program will bring audiences into regular contact with the people and stories behind the art through lectures, hands-on workshops, and guided tours. In the UCCA Research Room—the first contemporary art reference center of its kind in China—visitors can access a wide range of art books, catalogues, and journals, as well as see changing displays of artists’ editions and related materials, including ‘zines, archival documents, ephemera and digital media.
This forum will attempt to review Chinese literature of the 1980s and address the following questions: How was it related to overall trends in social thought at the time? What was its relationship to traditional Chinese literature, Western literature, and revolutionary literature? How should we evaluate the writers and literary explorations of that era today, and can they withstand the test of time? What was the spirit of literature in the 1980s? What is its significance in today’s era?
