Description
OCAT Shenzhen is the headquarters of the group of OCAT museums. OCAT Shenzhen has a long-term commitment to the practice and research in the field of contemporary art and theory both inside of China and in the international arena.
The programme of OCAT focuses both on in-depth survey, research, publication and exhibition of the practice of individual artists and on research-based thematic exhibitions. In addition to OCAT Exhibitions, OCAT Performs and OCAT Screens are annual programmes showcasing performing practices and theoretical discussions in art, dance and theatre, as well as screening of and lectures on documentary, video art and films. Accompanying the exhibitions, performances and screenings that OCAT organizes as well as visits by artists, curators, art critics and scholars to OCAT, OCAT Library initiates lectures, conversations and other forms of discursive activities in the library in OCAT Shenzhen and publishes part of its content in book forms, providing documents and reading materials for a wider public and researchers. In OCAT Shenzhen, publishing is both prompted by its exhibitions but can also function as an independent form of artistic and conceptual articulation and experimentation. The conception, editing and design of its publications could be employed as a form of artistic practice in parallel to the exhibition. As always, young practitioners as well as recent development in visionary and progressive thinking and discovery in art are central to the programme of OCAT Shenzhen. OCAT Youth Project was launched to present the recent work, experience, thoughts and imagination of artists, curators and critics active in the present.

● Upcoming ● Simon Denny: Real Mass Entrepreneurship Dates: March 24 - June 15, 2017 VIP Preview: March 18 - 23, 2017 Venue: C2 Space, OCT-LOFT Curator: Venus Lau Scenography and spatial design: Betty Ng Support: Shenzhen Overseas Chinese Town Corporation Ltd., DESIGN TRUST (an initiative of the Hong Kong Ambassadors of Design) Special thanks to: Shenzhen OCT-LOFT Presented by OCAT Shenzhen at C2 Space in OCT-LOFT, “Simon Denny: Real Mass Entrepreneurship” will mark the first solo exhibition in China of the New Zealand artist, who represented his country at the 56th Venice Biennale (2015). All newly commissioned for the exhibit, the works on view see a continuation of Simon Denny’s information technology-charged visual expressions. Through his in-depth investigation of Shenzhen’s science ecology, the artist reflects on the high-tech industry’s role in reshaping urban culture’s horizons. The exhibition title echoes the timely call for “mass entrepreneurship and innovation” in contemporary China. Taking Shenzhen’s accelerationist production model as its point of departure, it maps the features of production and consumption in a globalized network.
