Taoism advocates that people should follow the laws of nature rather than force the world to change its regularities. This concept to deal with change is at the heart of artists' works, which will be shown at the Chinese pavilion at the 14th Curitiba International Biennial of Contemporary Art.

The event, to be held in the Brazilian city from Sept 21 to Feb 23, is themed "open borders", addressing new border problems -- happening in the cultural, social and economic fields -- rising from the process of globalization and digitalization. Works will be displayed at two venues, the Oscar Niemeyer Museum and the Municipal Museum of Art.

The Chinese pavilion will be curated by a team headed by Lu Zhengyuan, a lecturer of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and an artist in his own right. On show will be paintings, sculptures, prints, installations and videos by artists who are among the top of their generations.

Lu says the exhibition will not only show the diversity and dynamics of the Chinese contemporary art scene but also the far-reaching explorations of Chinese artists in dealing with emerging issues of human society by borrowing wisdom from ancient philosophers.
