The research deals with exhibition practices and curated representations related to contemporary Chinese urbanism from the mid-1990s onward, as cities within the Pearl River Delta started to garner attention from the international community of designers, architects, artists, critics, curators and scholars. Throughout the early 2000s, China's urbanization became a major topic for contemporary cultural production, curatorial debates, art and architecture publications as well as the subject of many large-scale biennials and expos that at the time continued to spread and expand rapidly around the globe. Within China, biennials such as the Shanghai Biennale, Guangzhou Triennial or the subsequent Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism \ Architecture, became not only sites of construction for a new Chinese modernity but also vehicles tied to regional attempts of city-branding and promotion. Even outside of Asia, Chinese urbanization became a regularly displayed theme, often accompanied with the rhetoric of growth and the visual iconography of urban transformation. As a result, the idea of a contemporary Chinese city became a largely debated topic within the cultural genre while the actual urbanization process remained as the centrally planned goal of the Chinese state. The research reviews the development of the thematic in curatorial platforms and exhibition materials in comparison with the ideals and histories of Western, non-Western and Chinese modernities and urbanization. While aiming to clarify the theories of the historical and contemporary Chinese city in these contexts, the work also suggests a critical reviewing of what has become a rather self-replicating view of Chinese urbanism, as a way to gain a more robust understanding of one of the world's main urban conditions in the coming decades. As a result, the research offers new critique concerning the ways in which the curatorial has participated in the construction of new Chinese urbanism, as well as highlighting the significance of maturing curatorial discourse as producer of knowledge on contemporary Chinese cities.
