Timeframe of exhibition

Time-lapse, A Swiss-China Media Art Exhibition is the second of its kind held at the National Art Museum of China (NAMOC), and is part of the Swiss Chinese Cultural Explorations 2008-2011 program, initiated by the Pro Helvetia, Swiss Arts Council, and supported by the museum, and Biel Contemporary Art Museum in Switzerland.

Last summer, NAMOC staged Synthetic Times: Media Art China 2008, International New Media Art Exhibition, attracting thousands of visitors and a large international audience.

The goal of the collaborative shows is "to establish new networks and to encourage within all artistic disciplines cultural exchanges between China and Switzerland," says Marianne Burki, head of visual arts, Swiss Arts Council, Pro Helvetia.
