The Guangdong museum of Art selected belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen

The Guangdong museum of Art (Guangzhou, China) selected belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen as central artist in their 'Inauguration Exhibition of the Fourth Guangzhou Triennial' titled 'Back to Basics - The Museum Per Se'. For this expo, the artist created an site-specific installation called  'Modified Spaces'. An installation about the balance between nature and humans and about transformation. You can travel to The Guangdong Museum of Art if you come to attend Canton Fair 2013.

The theme of the Triennial is straight forward, despite its suggestion of obscurity. Its title, the Unseen, a simple term with easy access, is a point of departure for a vast range of possible meanings that touch on the complexity of ways of seeing, blindness and envisaging, especially with respect to visual art. The Unseen refers to the limitations of our sensory organs, the narrow confines of human perception on the one hand; on the other, paradoxically, it gives rise to observations that transcend familiar experience.
The Fourth Guangzhou Triennial is set in three different areas, each area serving a different function: the Guangdong Museum of Art, as an exhibition space, the Guangzhou Opera House, as a performance space, and the Grandview Mall—one of the largest shopping centres in Southern China—as a public, non-museum space.
