The support and attention given to this year\u2019s Chengdu Biennale signal China\u2019s intention to develop further westward through its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which aims to build a series of infrastructure projects from Asia to Europe, and Latin America to Africa. Located in the southwest of China and at the intersection of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the Maritime Silk Road, Chengdu occupies an important position in China\u2019s general development strategy. The state-funded Chengdu Biennale thus indicates a growing interest on the part of the government to develop Chengdu coupled with Chongqing in the \u201cTwin City Economic Circle\u201d into an important economic and political anchor in the southwestern region of China.<\/p>\n

Soft-opened on Nov 6th, 2021, scheduled to run through Apr 6th, 2022, the Chengdu Biennale is held at Chengdu Tianfu Art Park, consisting of two newly-established museums, each iconic as urban architecture. Chengdu Tianfu Art Museum and Chengdu Museum of Contemporary Art. As a large-scale art exhibition, the Chengdu Biennale consists of 8 sectional exhibitions with different themes of the exhibition, one international museum director conference, and more than ten parallel exhibitions.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Chengdu Biennale also indicates China\u2019s shift of focus on ecological policy. As the 8 sectionals suggest, this year\u2019s Biennale has placed a large emphasis on ecological discussion, technological improvement, and co-existence between urban and natural environments. According to the curator Fan Di\u2019an, such themes are explored as Chengdu is \u201cthe site of a new development project based on the concept of the \u2018Garden City\u2019\u201d. This is an attempt to explore sustainable urban environments in the contemporary context. As Green energy becomes the new focus of China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative, China has been giving increasing policy priority towards renewable energy and sustainable development policies in most of China\u2019s BRI partner countries. The exhibition\u2019s emphasis on green development thus also reflects the government\u2019s efforts to implement a green transition within China\u2019s domestic economy. As Fan Di\u2019an suggests, the aim of \u201dSuper Fusion 2021\u201d, thus is to bring \u201cthe urban, the human, and the natural into harmony with one another, establishing an urban environment that allows diverse cultures to co-exist.\u201d<\/p>\n
