The Shanghai Biennale is one of the highest-profile contemporary art events in Shanghai^{[according to whom?]} and the most established art biennale in China.^{[citation needed]} It was initially held in the Shanghai Art Museum. From 2012 on, it has been hosted in Power Station of Art, the first state-run museum dedicated to contemporary art in mainland China. Shanghai Biennale provides artists, curators, writers and art supporters from around the world with a space to meet and exchange ideas about their experiences, works and inspirations to create international dialogues. It highlights the achievements of Asian artistic creativity and production and challenges the conventional division of the world between East and West.^[1] Aside from its main museum show, it also includes talks, lectures and installations in various venues throughout the city.^[2]
