The event showcases 43 sets of works by 18 Chinese artists and artistic groups. These artists have distinguished themselves for their unconventional approach to different artistic genres, their open outlook that is mindful of traditions, and their embracing of the latest technological developments, according to the organizers.

This is the first time that exhibitions of the Venice Biennale have been held outside Italy, said Pietrangelo Buttafuoco, president of the Venice Biennale.

"Here in Hangzhou, Italian and Chinese artists jointly interpret the commonalities between the two cultures, not only showing their exquisite artistic skills, but also promoting cultural exchanges and the development of the two countries through art, so that the world can see a true and colorful China," he said.
