She also pointed out that the museum’s "bottom line" is very clear, that is, it will not display any illegal items. "But if it is an exhibit, it will irritate certain people and make him unhappy. I think about it. It’s not the main consideration.” She added that different people have different ideas, and artists have their own political backgrounds. I hope that everyone will look at them with a “respect and tolerance” attitude. “Art is a testimony of the times.” We should make a second thought for the political views that a work of art wants to bring out.”
Feng Cheng gave another example that some historical artworks may have political irony at the time they were produced. However, after hundreds of years, everyone’s views have changed. There are more ways to observe the law and the expression of legislation.” She also reiterated that there should be no review committee to pre-review the artworks on display. Everything should be decided by the curator through professionalism. “Contemporary art itself will stimulate Everyone has different opinions on the same incident. If you set up a venue to select exhibits in advance, it is against the original intention of left contemporary art (defeating contemporary art).” She also reiterated that all curators have the ability to know what to choose. Does the work violate the law?
Feng Cheng Shuyi revealed that the admission appointment system will be announced within this week, with every two hours as a section, and each section can accommodate 6,000 people.
