group | Emerging Curators Project 2018

Since its inception in 2014, the Power Station of Art’s Emerging Curators Project has now grown to be the contemporary art museum’s annual academic undertaking, whose mission is to explore present-day meanings of art exhibitions as well as new possibilities of curation. In 2018, the project’s 5th edition received 61 valid submissions, which were reviewed by an international jury lineup in July – members of PSA’s Academic Committee, including Homi Bhabha, Chris Dercon, Donna De Salvo, Ding Yi, Fei Dawei, Feng Yuan, Gao Shiming, Gong Yan, Hou Hanru and Mark Wigley, as well as this year’s special guest judge Franck Gautherot took time to interview the young Chinese curators behinds the final 8 candidate proposals, and announced Bad Code (curated by Ningjue Lyu, Jingqiu Li and Xinyi Ren), A Tree Fell in the Forest, and No One's There (curated by André Chan and Jing C.Y. Chong) to be this year’s winning proposals. After four months of intensification and realization, the two winning curatorial plans will be officially unveiled to the public on November 2, 2018.
