The Australian Government appeared to have been caught unawares by the recent China-US emissions reduction announcement at APEC, suggesting – unsurprisingly – that the dynamics of US-China relations evolve without Australia. Nevertheless, there is a real, albeit still emerging three-way relationship between Australia, China, and the US, one in which Australia has much more room to direct its own role.
For us, the stars are a kind of distant future, the most beautiful dream, a kind of hope
"We often look up at the starry night sky, counting the countless, never-ending stars, dreaming about the sky's stories... for us, the stars are a kind of distant future, the most beautiful dream, a kind of hope." -- Song Xi, Artist
In Song Xi's moving image work, Starry Sky, the Beijing artist plucks each star, one by one, from the night's sky until only darkness remains. This melancholic work was exhibited as part of the Arts & Creative Industries panel session at the 2014 Australia-China Youth Dialogue, chaired by CREATIVE ASIA's Amanda Barry over the weekend. A panel of industry experts discussed entrepreneurship in China's contemporary arts - video to come for those who missed it.
