CRITICAL MASS is a group show curated by Marc Hungerbuhler for HYCAC - Huang Yan Contemporary Art Center. Tucked away at the periphery of the Beijing art scene, a 10min bus ride from Chaochangdi, the monumental halls of a new experimental and alternative art space will open its doors March 8th 2008.Unique in its size and its content the HYCAC will serve as a harbor of intercultural exchange, exhibitions, artist-in-residencies and most of all as a platform for ideas as far removed from the commercial outburst of 798 as its physical location. In the spirits of an artist driven grass route movement we present: CRITICAL MASS.
CRITICAL MASS is an attempt to draw a great range not only of divers artistic expression but also of divers stages in its development.CRITICAL MASS is a curator’s choice of curators and their curatorial.
