On September 27 A4 Contemporary Arts Centre in Chengdu, China will host an artist talk about Eastern and Western artistic concepts in contemporary photography, called “The West is not bright, the East can be bright”.
The talk, initiated by the Chinese curator Yi Hong, will give opportunity to Chinese artists Mu Ge and Zhang Jin, the curator Xu Sheng, the American artist Oliver Herring, and the German photographer Fabian Hammerl to debate the presence of specifically Eastern/Western concepts in their work.

If you happen to be one of the unfortunates always to fall for the girl impossible or fancy your best friend’s boyfriend, you might find it comforting to witness your most famous antecessors’ descent into the maelström of their doomed love – once again.
Star-cross’d brothers and sisters, unite!
