Beijing Time. China time. | Chinese Time.

“Beijing Time: China’s Time” offers a panoramic view of contemporary art in China through installations, photography, performance, video, and film, as well as digital drawing—media and formats common to the seventeen artists who participated in the exhibition project of the same name. The expression “Beijing Time” is a common way of referring to the time zones of a country that, despite its vast size and the significant time difference between some provinces at its far reaches and the city of Beijing, has only one official time. The exhibition also considers the significant ambiguity of this time, which can be identified with China’s time zone worldwide, given the country’s already visibly prominent global economic leadership. Where is China headed?
