In the Studio Pulchri, Dutch artists show their view of China.
The Museum Beelden aan Zee shows the first open-air exhibition of the best-known Chinese sculptor Sui Jianguo in the Netherlands. Outside, the 114 figures of the Rent Collection Courtyard are shown. These tell the story of the exploitation of workers by the landowners. These Maoist propaganda bronze sculptures are for modern Chinese sculpture as relevant as the terracotta army of the Xian Dynasty is for Chinese archeology.
