On October 10, 2009, the Global Collecting Forum, comprising a private session and public forum, and the Collision -- Experimental Cases of Contemporary Chinese Art, a Trinitarian event, were unveiled in Beijing.
The activity was expected to explore, through the experimental cases, the multiple feasibilities in exchanges between the contemporary Chinese art and the outside world. In terms of time, the contemporary Chinese art has apparently exerted great impacts on the rest of the world and ourselves in the course of development. Because of this, the Global Collecting Forum took the initiative to move out of the western cultural center, Europe, and settled in Beijing, China, this October, a time of considerable experimental significance. The activity strove to exhibit, through 30 representative artistic cases in the Collision, how artists of China, a country hosting one fourth of the world population, wisely made choices on today and tomorrow amid uncertainty.
Founded in 2004 and based in Europe, the Global Collecting Forum has won great admiration with its pioneering visions and decision making-oriented guide power over the past five years. The core of the event was the high-end forum, also known as the private session, on the arts in the global society. It attracted authoritative persons across the world with cultural ideals and power of effective action, such as art gallery chiefs, museum directors, curators, critics, collectors, art foundations, chairmen of art organizations, and leading officials of government organs relating to the circulation and collection of works of art.
