Nu Shu: The Secret Songs of Women I

The 56th Venice biennale opened on May 9, 2015 and ran until November 22, 2015. The China pavilion, curated by the Beijing Contemporary Art Foundation, echoes the biennale's general theme, “All the World’s Futures," by inviting a group of highly individual artists from outside the mainstream of Chinese contemporary art to present their ongoing efforts to stimulate dialogue and social vitality.

The China pavilion invited 3 artists and 2 art platforms to present work: Liu Jiakun, Lu Yang, Tan Dun, Wen Hui (Life Dance Studio) and Wu Wenguang (Caochangdi Workstation).

Nu Shu: The Secret Songs of Women is a music compilation by Tan Dun.
