A remarkable exhibition is currently being hosted by the Institut Francais in Cologne: Kaleidoscopes links artists from Europe and China. The remarkable aspect about this 'work in progress' is that all the artists regard 'progress' as a kind of conversational continuation of exchange. Therefore since their initial encounters in Shanghai each artist taking part in this wandering exhibition (Paris 2008, Cologne 2009, Liverpool 2010) continues to record cultural and human processes of rapprochement and for each new venue allows his/her work to shift, change and even at times absent itself.  An online blog ("Exhibitionwall") shares this process with the public at large.
