Born in Delhi in 1945, Nilima Sheikh is one of India\u2019s most celebrated artists. Over the last five decades, Sheik\u2019s oeuvre has embraced multiple universes, composed in a unique visual language drifting between human journeys, landforms, and states of belonging. Her practice above all reflects a strong feminist commitment to representing the many facets of womanhood, in the realms of the sacred and the biographical, and as a social subject. She utilizes a variety of media and techniques, including paper, installations, large scrolls and screens, illustrations for children\u2019s books, and theatre set designs. First exhibiting her work 1969, Sheikh has participated in numerous exhibitions world wide, including most recently documenta 14<\/em><\/strong> (Athens and Kassel, 2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in Fujian Province, China, in 1969, Qiu Zhijie has created a formidable career and presence as a multidisciplinary artist, critic and curator. The encyclopaedic vision Qiu brings to his imaginative mappings of the human world, creating fantastic mind-scapes crossing categories cultural, political, institutional and more, open up systems of knowledge that invite the participation of all imaginative minds. Qiu\u2019s recent projects include his curation of the Chinese Pavilion of the 57th Venice Biennale<\/strong> in 2017, and his commissioned project for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum<\/strong> in New York, for which he created a site-specific six-panel map as part of the exhibition Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World<\/strong>. Qiu is also currently a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, one of the country\u2019s most prestigious art academies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
