"A Gift to Marco Polo" - the collateral event for the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009, co-sponsored by Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA Shanghai), Venice International University and Institutions of Chinart, expresses our high respect for Venice and Marco Polo. It is expected to present the best visual arts of modern China.
The collateral event for the 53rd Venice Biennale - "A Gift to Marco Polo" marks just the beginning of the friendship between Italy and China. MoCA Shanghai feels it is a great honor to be invited by Venice International University to design artworks representing Chinese contemporary art for its public space. In light of the historical connection and deep friendship between Venice, the famous Italian water city, and Suzhou, a renowned city on the water in Southern China, we are honored to invite Ye Fang, a famous Chinese contemporary artist, to design the garden of Chinese contemporary art for Venice International University. We hope the project will promote further cultural exchange between the two nations.
