Held from Oct 31 to Nov 4, the event attracted galleries, artists and art professionals from 13 cities who shared recent developments in the field.

One of the highlights was a section displaying the works of four noted artists — Xu Jiang brought his iconic sunflower installations; Gautier Deblonde's Atelier series was first shown in the city; and the vanguard explorations of Assadour Markarov and Li Peng through sculptural installations.
