Van Dijk was both a witness and a catalyst in the development of contemporary art in mainland China, where he lived and worked as a curator, art historian and gallerist from 1986 until his death in 2002. Marianne Brouwer, author and researcher of the publication, as well as curator of two exhibitions on the legacy of van Dijk organized in 2014 by Witte de With and UCCA (Beijing), will discuss the complex history of Chinese contemporary art together with Kitty Zijlmans, Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory/World Art Studies at the Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society.
