A talk event was held at the project space nüans (Düsseldorf, Germany, 2006), where nüans' idea along with German artists' intentions was presented. Since then artist collective nüans pursues a conceptual approach that is the cornerstone of the projects. Nüans does not try to represent the same way as individual works by each of nüans/ members. The framewok of projects by nüans as follows:
《Concept and text will be highlighted. Other artists will be invited. nüans presents artwork by the other artists to exlplore artistic pursuits together in an exhibition (or in a project). The projects will be formed by using concept much rather than material.》Thus, while working together with artists, nüans had been exploring curatorial projects as well as collaborative works.
