There are several good talks going on at artDC. I'll be heading over to attend at least one of them this afternoon and then over to The Warehouse Gallery to see the show "No Representation" and Supple.
ArTalks. Educational programming is an important component of artDC, and this year will not disappoint. The ArTalk series of panel discussions takes place over the weekend at the Convention Center, Hall E. Local and international curators, museum directors and other art specialists will discuss a variety of topics relevant to DC and the fair. All talks are free of charge and open to the public (with purchase of fair ticket).
All Panel Discussions are presented in the Seminar Room inside of Hall E, next to the café. Panels typically last an hour and half including time for Q&A.

Chinese Contemporary Art: A Chinese Perspective. Join a round table discussion with the curator of artDC’s special exhibition Another Look: New Art from Shanghai. Liu Jian, curator, and Yu Xingze, Assistant Curator, along with the visiting artists, will share their impressions of today’s position of Chinese contemporary art. Both curators are also artists and have studied, lived, and worked in China and the West. They therefore bring a unique perspective to the analysis of Western and Chinese art practices today. They will explain their philosophy behind the selection of the twelve artists in the exhibition.
