From May to September, anyone can present an idea that has never been realized to the biennial, regardless whether he or she is an artist. As long as a person has creative proposals and wants to show them in a space, he can e-mail it to the biennial’s art committee's mailbox cafam3@126.com.
The theme of the biennial is "Negotiating Space: I Never Thought Your Were Like That", which is inspired by a popular phrase from social networks, used by netizens to show surprise at something done in an unconventional way.

Wang says they want to have a creative approach to an art biennial, which is why the event has no curator. People from all fields will give suggestions to proposals approved by the art committee before the work is shown in November.
"We want to do an experiment on how to curate an unconventional biennial," says Wang.
The first biennial focused on "Super-Organism: Research and Experiments From a Specific View" in 2011; the second theme was "Invisible Hand: Curating as Gesture" in 2014.
The museum is supported by the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
