Uli Sigg, a business journalist, entrepreneur and former Swiss ambassador to China, North Korea, and Mongolia, has followed the development of contemporary art in China since the late 1970s and in the mid-1990s began to establish the world’s most important and representative collection of Chinese art. He was given the opportunity to look behind the scenes of social and economic developments that, as China’s vision of a New Silk Road shows, are dedicated to tradition and the future. The museum creates a discursive platform in the juxtaposition of works from the Sigg Collection and objects from the MAK Asia Collection. This interplay illuminates China’s contemporary art production as well as its aesthetic or iconographic references. Using techniques such as calligraphy, painting, photography, sculpture, installation, and video, the works on display open up a broad spectrum from traditionally analogue to digitally produced works.Admission plus attendance fee of € 3.50No registration required.The guided tour will be held in German.
