PULSE OF THE DRAGON

Pulse of the Dragon is curated by Guan Wei and Cang Xin. Guan Wei is a local artist with a Chinese heritage. He has exhibited widely around the world and he was the first Chinese-Australian artist to have a solo show at the MCA in 2019.

The participating artists emphasise themes of religious witchcraft, mythology, folk art and folk culture as methods for opening-up understandings and perspectives of Chinese culture.

Pulse of the Dragon features a dynamic line-up of Chinese and Chinese-Australian artists, who approach these concepts from their local and international perspectives.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we were required to close the exhibition early. For those that missed the exhibition or for those that want to re-visit this fantastic exhibition we have a 3D Virtual Tour for you to explore. Click on the images to see the Switch and the Hopper galleries.
