Longitude is not only a geographic coordinate marking positions east and west on the Earth’s surface but also a symbol of the flow of culture, economy, technology and knowledge, driving exchanges, encounters, and integration between East and West. These cross-longitude interactions shape unique cultural identities, inspire artistic expression, and encourage humanity to seek wisdom, spiritual enrichment, and a shared sense of beauty through cross-cultural communication. The year 2025 marks a significant anniversary of diplomatic relations between several countries and China, including Denmark(75th anniversary), Sweden(75th anniversary), Thailand (50th anniversary), and the Philippines (50th anniversary). As a platform that fosters international artistic exchange, the Nordic Contemporary Art Center (Xiamen) seizes this opportunity to collaborate with a group of Thai artists to curate and present the international exhibition LONGITUDE. This exhibition highlights the intersection of geography and culture. It aims to use art as a medium to engage with contemporary global issues of cultural interaction and coexistence, emphasizing the crucial role of international artistic exchange breaking prejudices, enhancing mutual understanding, and fostering collective progress.LONGITUDE is more than just an art exhibition is an exploration of global cultural currents. It invites audiences to reflect on intersections of geography and culture, to experience these exchanges firsthand, and to discover connections between different artistic languages. At this pivotal moment, commemorating diplomatic anniversaries between various nations and China, we hope this exhibition will deepen international artistic dialogue, promote cultural exchange and coexistence, and serve as a testament to how art can bridge the world.
