Heteroglossia in Shanghai

Date: Nov 24-Feb 17 - 10 am/1 pm

Venue: How Art Museum

These artists have been exposed to the general influence of Chinese culture, yet they have evolved along different trajectories by incorporating distinct varieties of historical experience, memory, and identity. Heteroglossia, also known as the theory of polyphony, was a concept introduced by the Russian literary critic Mikhail Bakhtin to summarize the unique characteristics of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novels. The term refers to the coexistence of different languages as well as the conflicts between them, and it also reflects the plurality and fluidity that characterize our contemporary culture and society, where independent, uncompromising voices and ideas come at us through a variety of different agencies, but which nonetheless intertwine with each other and participate equally in the discussions and debates of a shared contemporary landscape. As the theme of this exhibition, Heteroglossia also provides a critical line of inquiry into it and invests the whole exhibition by formulating a dialogue between the artists and a world that has become more and more complex and challenging.

Real-time Distribution Industry Conference in Beijing

China's real-time distribution industry has grown rapidly. In 2017, the annual revenue exceeded 80 billion yuan. It is estimated that the order volume will exceed 12 billion in 2018, and the number of active users will exceed 360 million. The 2018 China Real-Time Distribution Industry Development Report, compiled by the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing and Meituan.com, was released last week, which laid out the problems and forecast its future development. Cui Zhongfu, secretary-general of CFLP said that instant delivery is a fast-growing emerging industry, which has cultivated more than 10 million daily orders in just a few years, and this new economy is breaking the original, realty business model, and pushing them to converge with online business. Instant delivery also provides jobs, and a considerable number of grass-roots distributors come from poor regions. Problem also arises, such as violation of traffic regulations and policies among these riders. There is an urgent call for new industry standards, and also the support from relevant departments. The report is divided into seven parts, which provides reference for enterprises to improve services and strengthen management.
