Art and Life: Q&A with artist, Pop Zhao
Art & Life: A Q&A with Artist Pop Zhao
Join us for an intimate evening with world-renowned conceptual artist and former San Francisco Art Commissioner, Pop Zhao, as he unveils his most ambitious project to date: 《 Harmony 》.
Known for "thinking big"—from wrapping the Great Wall for the Olympics to unfurling miles of flags at the Statue of Liberty—Pop Zhao now invites us into a decade-long spiritual journey. This Q&A session will explore the intersection of monumental scale, Web3 innovation, and the quiet power of a prayer.
The Feature: 《 Harmony 》
Spanning 500 sections and a decade in the making, this is the largest Web3 art installation of the century.
The Inspiration: Drawn from the prayers and chants of 10,000 Tibetan monks in the Himalayas.
The Work: Each painting is a hand-painted "visual ceremony," capturing a world without war and the "lingering fragrance of prayer flags."
The Mission: A silent, global resonance ritual intended to bridge boundaries and offer a peaceful frequency to the modern world.
Q&A Talk starts at 2-3PM
Agenda Topics Include:
Participation in China's earliest performance art movement: 85 New Art Wave movement
Life and death experience in Tibet as Zhao explored Tibet on his 4 month journey
Art for Peace - a 25-Years Plan, on-going art movement
Novel Refund Policy: collectors of Pop Zhao's work could request for a refund after acquiring the work for 36 months, and keep the art afterwards.
