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.
