The China Moment. Contextualizing Individualism in Chinese Contemporary Art
The documenta Institut invites you to its first research exhibition at the Kasseler Kunstverein. With The China Moment, the documenta Institut focuses on a decisive phase in contemporary Chinese art.
Filmscreening “I truly believe everything is accidental”
As part of the accompanying program for the exhibition The China Moment. Contextualizing Individualism in Chinese Contemporary Art, which runs until March 22, 2026, at the Kasseler Kunstverein, we invite you to the film screening of “I truly believe everything is accidental” -Four artist portraits" at the BALi Kinos. The films by Xiang Jing, Ronja Yu, Zang Honghua and Zhao Yinou portray artists from different generations and backgrounds and show how individual artistic attitudes have developed under their own historical, social, and personal circumstances. Between studio, everyday life, and public space, they open up access to very different forms of working—from performance and photography to conceptual practices and intimate drawing processes.
Abendgespräch: Von Nietzsche zu Hegel?
As part of the accompanying program to our exhibition "The China Moment", we invite you to an evening discussion with Helmut Heit and Heinz Bude. Nietzsche's influence remains unbroken to this day. Not only in Berlin, Paris, or Rome, but also in Shanghai, Beijing, and Hong Kong.
