Migration Addicts has been selected from hundreds of submissions from around the world for the Collateral Events, a section of the Biennale which shows public museum quality projects chosen by Robert Storr, the artistic director of the 52nd Venice Biennale.
Migration Addicts began as an ongoing project two years ago in Shanghai, investigating how migration determines issues related to human identity, gender and spiritual needs. The fast expansion of urban spaces, following the model of big cities, has led to new social conflicts within society.
Recently the tension between Western and Chinese traditional values and
lifestyles, as well as the late arrival of capitalism and the persistence of
communism has not hindered the Chinese impulse towards assimilating the
"international standards," while fostering its own economic development.
