Paradoxa is an exhibition project focused on Far East Asian Art and one of its challenging aspects: the value of paradox, contradiction and mistake as a process for knowing and for characterizing aesthetic experience. The Second edition of 2017 is dedicated to Chinese Contemporary Art and the topic of obscurity according to the dialectic value it embodied for Chinese culture. Being one of the classic theme associated with Chinese philosophical and religious tradition, the darkness and obscurity is meant as a revelation of some contradictory aspects of Chinese modernity.
