Jens Hoffmann is a major figure behind the art event. |
He says that with the show the organizers want to hold an art event in a relatively small US city instead of New York, Los Angeles or Chicago, where major exhibitions are frequently held.
To an extent, the Cleveland event is expected to be the US' Documenta, adds Bidwell, saying that the inaugural show will be titled An American City.
Meanwhile, art museums and institutions in Cleveland are also participating in the project and a series of related activities will be held, including an art residency project, and public education.
Separately, Michelle Jeschelnig, deputy president of the triennial, says some museums in Cleveland have large collections of Chinese and Asian art.
The Cleveland Museum of Art owns lots of Chinese art donated by philanthropists in the city.
Jeschelnig says she is sure that the participation of Chinese artists in the triennial will offer a good opportunity for a dialogue between 皇冠体育app and the US city.
