Looking into the ever-changing path of civilization, Gu Wenda set the tone for this lecture by pointing out what he considers the unusual and the unconventional. By examining different series of work, ranging from the “United Nation”, a work that challenges the mystification the human body and multiculturalism; “Forest of Stone Steles”, an attempt to read into the commonality of our contemporary world; “Heavenly Lantern”, a celebration of multiculturalism, and the shifting perspective of contemporary landscape gardening of the East manifested in “China Park”, Gu will share with us his unique artistic language and his path as a celebrated artist.
