Keywords School at Venice: Recruitment Notice

The “Keywords School” is a project based on the continuous investigation and research of “keywords” by the Chinese artist Xu Tan. Underway since 2006, the project's central premise of communication between audience and artist/art project now takes the form of “school”. The content of this school is “keywords”, terms gathered from Xu Tan's persistent searching and researching through interviews and discussions among people from different fields and backgrounds (for more on keywords, and keywords project information, please visit http://www.xutan-keywords.com). In “Keywords School”, Xu Tan communicates with all participants through the“keywords” in this “school” context; Through these keywords, the artist and participant cooperate to create a new idealistic public space. The “Keywords School•Venice” was born when the project was invited to take part in the 53rd Venice Biennale. For each of the 14 days of “Keywords School•Venice”, we will accept 10 “students” as participants in the 2 and a half hours of each course. The participants will discuss and dialogue with Xu Tan around the “keywords” from Xu Tan's several years of searching and researching. According to their interest in the different “daily keywords”, the participants can choose and apply to the courses in “Keywords School•Venice”.

Xu Tan was born in Wuhan, Hubei Province in 1957 and currently lives in Guangzhou. Since the early 1990s he has been part of “Big Tail Elephant Group”, an experimental art team in Guangzhou. Xu Tan has insisted on his lifestyle as “outcast”, maintaining sensitivity to the changes in social life and culture, and questioning the boundary of contemporary art. Over the years this has led his working style to appear more like that of a social theorist than a purely visual artist. His work has been shown around the world, including at the 50th Biennale di Venezia, the Berlin Biennial, the Gongdong Triennial etc.
