Collected papers of the Third Nanjing International Art Festival. Since 2014, the Baijia Lake International Culture Investment Group has established an international art exhibition in Nanjing which has met with much success and has become an important cultural event in China. This ambitious event is not only attracting great crowds and increasing China’s understanding and openness to the visual arts, but each edition is also actively developing and promoting both Chinese and foreign artists in the international art world scene. In this third edition of the Nanjing International Exhibition, entitled Historicode: Scarcity and Supply , an international team of curators came together to present an enormous variety of talent and art forms from various countries and regions of China, all exploring the problems of globalization and the impact and influence contemporary art can have on our collective perceptions and cultural understanding.
