The
Light from Light
dome was hosted and supported by the National Art Museum of China
whilst the remaining works in the exhibition were on display at the National Library of
China. Arising from an initially practical concern, the two sites enriched the project by
grounding it in an art context, building awareness across two major Beijing institutions,
and attracting an art audience to the works at the library site. A didactic presentation
within the art museum further established the link between the two venues in Beijing, and
the library site in Australia.
