Foreword
Co-hosted by China Cultural Centre in Sydney, China Academy of Art Australian Alumni Association, and CWM Galleries, the Time & Space Exhibition (Click to view the exhibition online) is opening to the public until 14 January 2022, featuring 14 talented artists from China and Australia. 32 artworks are presented under the same theme of Time and Space, revealing the artists’ rethink of the world today and their pursuit of inner strength.
Time is continuous and space has no boundaries. People’s perception of a specific space and moment makes time and space have an intersection. This exhibition focuses on contemporary art and connects with the audience’s emotions through artworks with deep meaning. Hope you‘ll enjoy and be inspired by these artists’ talks.
