On December 20, the “Panoramic Theater” unit of the urban public art season jointly created by Hangzhou Center and UCCA Lab under UCCA Ullens Center for Contemporary Art was officially opened.
As the exhibition partner, UCCA Lab specially invited four (groups of) artists: Xu Bing, Quayula (Quayola), JUJUWANG and Collaboration Party to jointly participate in the exhibition, presenting the audience with an imaginative theater about time, space, entity and emptiness, which is composed of oriental traditional intention and future picture, breaking away from the restrictions of “windows” and viewers, and opening a unique “panoramic” perspective.
“Theater” means a place to watch. In the Chinese cultural context, it corresponds to the stage and tea garden. In Hangzhou, the theater “Wa Si” can be traced back to the Southern Song Dynasty. From the open-air theater of ancient Greece, to the first “frame” stage established in Parma, Italy, to the mechanized modern theater… One scene, one stage… In this “viewing” field composed of performers, stages and audiences, face-to-face viewing and real-time reactions between individuals are continuously staged. In today’s “mobile Internet, artificial intelligence” and other contexts, this “viewing” behavior originally carried by the “theater” can enter the audience, and through the audience, it presents more about “viewing”. The possibility of “experience” and “breakthrough awareness” opens the “panorama” in the field of vision “.
The opening art exhibition “Panoramic Theater” (Panoramic Theater) will last from December 24, 2023 to March 31, 2024.

Of the 1500 missing or stolen items, only 351 have been returned to the museum so far. In addition to the stolen collection, about 140 pieces of the collection were marked by tools, and about 350 pieces of the collection, such as the gold seats of precious stones, were removed.
