The Chengdu Biennale presents a new edition featuring Bettina Pousttchi, bringing her iconic ongoing photographic work "World Time Clock" to Chengdu. At once poetic and political, "World Time Clock" reveals how systems of timekeeping reflect histories of colonial reach and cultural imitation, addressing questions about time, globalization and transnationality. Set within the dynamic cultural context of Sichuan, the Biennale offers audiences an engaging encounter between international contemporary art and the city’s evolving art scene.
