Al Museo d’Arte di Chengdu apre l’edizione 2026 di Pulse of Life: Biennale
Chengdu, che riunisce oltre 250 artisti internazionali. Promossa dall’Ufficio
municipale della cultura, radio, televisione e turismo e organizzata dal polo
artistico cittadino, la manifestazione si afferma come piattaforma di dialogo tra
ricerca globale e contesto locale, offrendo uno sguardo sensibile e attuale sulla
vita quotidiana.
Curata da Wu Hongliang con la direzione artistica di Wang Shaoqiang, la
Biennale sviluppa il tema Pulse of Life come intreccio tra la vitalità dell’esistenza
e l’idea di “indice” intesa come strumento di lettura analitica del reale. Il
percorso espositivo, articolato in sei sezioni e affidato a un team internazionale
di curatori, si estende dagli spazi interni del museo a un’ampia area all’aperto.
Tra gli artisti protagonisti della Biennale Chengdu 2026: Paolo Parisi.
Nella sessione The Extraordinary in the Ordinary, a cura di He Guyan,
le sue due opere: The Wheather was Mild on the Day (2018) of my Departure

e To the girls of Italy!(2021)

entrusted to an international team of curators, extends from the museum’s indoor
galleries to a large outdoor exhibition area.
Among the featured artists of the 2026 Chengdu Biennale is Paolo Parisi. In
