LEAP Talk
Art Publication as Methodology

2017.5.7
14:00-16:00

Location:  Auditorium
Language:  Chinese only

The 2016 French edition of LEAP “Au sommet, le Verbe: Arts et Traduction” focuses on the three-fold significance of translation as at once an aesthetic concept, a cultural phenomenon, and an artistic practice, and proposes a framework for discussion on Chinese contemporary art that taps into the more profound and subtle aspects of cultural exchange.

For the third in a series of conversations about the issue “Au sommet, le Verbe: Arts et Traduction,” renowned graphic designer and LEAP French edition creative director Yang Linqing will join LEAP French edition Editor-in-Chief He Jing at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA), for an extensive discussion on their experiments in editorial content design and methodological innovations in publishing the issue “Au sommet, le Verbe: Arts et Traduction.”
