A Moment in Time: Xu Bing in Rome | IED Roma

The exhibition A Moment in Time: Xu Bing in Rome is a newly commissioned show of the artist Xu Bing (2024 Resident) at the American Academy in Rome. It features artwork created in its entirety during his residency at AAR. The students of the Master IED in Exhibit Design had the opportunity to visit the exhibition in an exclusive tour with the artist and with the Curator Ilaria Puri Purini (Andrew Heiskell Arts Director). A Moment in Time aims to explore central themes of Xu Bing’s oeuvre, including language, nature, civilization, and semiotics, while also challenging fundamental conceptions of Chinese culture and incorporating the city of Rome in the making of the show.
