> DESCRIPTION

Artist and Cosmos-builder Qiu Zhijie (b. 1969, Fuijian Province, China) draws from major political and historical narratives to produce large-scale ink-based maps and diagrams. From Confuncianism to Englightenment, Qiu Zhijie charts new paths, centers, nodes and relationships, scrutining the mutable boundaries that outline histories of world thought.

Qiu Zhijie developed these series of mappings of the contemporary world based on several concepts that are summarized in the following maps: Map of 21st century; Map of Utopia; Map of Total Art; Map of Chinese History; Map of Nanjing Yangzi River and Map of Spirit Renew.
