Originating in late 18th-century London, the circus and its ring represent an antithesis to everyday life. The deliberate staging of beautiful make-believe and breathtaking acrobatics has long been a source of great fascination. At the same time, this world of illusions is fraught with social controversy and criticism, which international artists and leading experts address.

A Short Conjectural History
Sculpture is just a word, an English word, which elicits an image in the mind’s eye. Sculpture is a European idea. In China, on the other hand, statues, stele, and other figural objects were made for millennia without being thought of as Sculpture. There was no Sculpture in China. "Imagining Sculpture" is the story of this something that did not exist.
