Sometimes curating an art exhibition is like painting a masterpiece. That's how it is with Armory Focus: China, where Chinese galleries debut as a whole at one of New York City's marquee art expos.
Curator Philip Tinari compares curating the show to painting a work of Abstract Expressionism. "Certainly, you have a clear direction of how it goes, only that you can't control every thing," he says.
"All you can do is to trust galleries and artists. And they pay you back with surprises," says Tinari, who is also the director of the Beijing-based Ullens Center for Contemporary Art.
