Artist Gordon Cheung will be in conversation with ArtReview and ArtReview Asia editor-in-chief Mark Rappolt, on the occasion of his exhibition Tears of Paradise at Edel Assanti, London (through 7 March). Their discussion will focus on ideas raised in Cheung’s recent work in which he witnesses and interprets the emergence of China as a twenty first century global superpower, framing current events in the context of the “Century of Humiliation” and the opium wars.
Over the past 50 years the artist has built up a body of work at once disarming and tender; one that, above all else, makes us think about how we see the world and our place within it
Designed by Pritzker prize-winning architect Tadao Ando, the museum will be built on an artificial jetty in Dubai Creek and will house exhibition galleries, a library, study rooms and a restaurant and VIP lounge
