Introduction of The 3nd CAA International Printmaking Triennial

第三届CAA国际版画三年展介绍

In essence, no matter it is "printing as technology" in the past or "printing as art" today, the origin of printmaking -- its "essential source" is "printing". We should think about the relationship between print and The Times from this perspective: art must be combined with new technology and form a new language, so as to adapt to the new changes of human feeling in the new era and our new perception of the world.

本质上，无论是过去的“作为技术的印刷”，还是今天的“作为艺术的印刷”，在版画的本源——其“本质之源”是为“印刷”。我们应该在这样的视阈之下思考版画与时代的关系：艺术必须和新技术相结合并形成新的语言，进而适应新时代人类感觉的新变化，以及我们对于世界的新的感知方式。

◉ Exhibition of the “China Translated “is opening!

 CHINA TRANSLATED

 Curator: Dr. Llewellyn Negrin

 There has been a longstanding fascination with Chinese culture in the West. This reached a crescendo during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when large numbers of artefacts from China including porcelain, textiles, wallpapers and furniture began to be imported into Europe. While very few Europeans up until this time had experienced China first hand, ever since the publication of The Travels of Marco Polo in the early fourteenth century, there had developed an abiding conception in the European imagination of China (or Cathay as it was then known) as an exotic, remote country fabled for its dazzling riches that was swathed in mystery. 

This fascination with all things Chinese spurred many European designers and craftsmen in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to emulate the designs found on the imported Chinese artefacts, giving rise to a style that came to be known as chinoiserie. However, while Europeans were intrigued by the alien beauty of Chinese-styled artefacts, at the same time, this infatuation largely reproduced rather than challenged stereotypical views of China as an exotic and strange land. With chinoiserie, the enigmatic otherness of Chinese culture was perpetuated while also being made more palatable for European consumers.

Western artists encountering Chinese culture today, do so under very different circumstances than their seventeenth and eighteenth century counterparts. Less a country shrouded in mystery, Westerners now have a greater understanding of China’s long and varied cultural traditions and systems of belief. This exhibition focuses on the work of a number of Tasmanian artists who have engaged with aspects of Chinese culture, and who, through such an encounter, have created works productive of new insights into their own culture as well as into contemporary issues more broadly. 

Some of these artists have revisited seventeenth and eighteenth chinoiserie, referencing ceramic, textile and wallpaper patterns from this tradition to reflect on the nature of cultural transmission and displacement more generally. Others have drawn on Chinese traditions of calligraphy and paper cutting, transposing these into a new context to address issues of contemporary relevance such as our relationship with nature, war, the dangers of mass data surveillance and consumerism.

Also included in this dialogue between Tasmanian artists and Chinese culture is the work of artists of Chinese origin now living in Tasmania. While approaching Chinese culture from a different perspective than their non-Chinese counterparts, they are equally involved in the process of re-interpreting Chinese culture in the different context in which they find themselves. Borrowing motifs and craft techniques derived from Chinese culture, they employ these as avenues to negotiate a new relationship with their adopted culture. 

In all cases then, the artists are involved in a process of translation whereby aspects of Chinese culture are given a new voice in a situation very different from their original context. As this exhibition makes clear, ‘translation’ is never about capturing the ‘original’ or ‘authentic’ meaning of another culture but always inevitably involves a transformation of meaning in the new context. The issue is how can such processes be productive of new insights rather than reproducing traditional stereotypes and preconceived assumptions.

Ningbo was call Mingzhou in ancient times, and was named Ningbo for the first time in the 14th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1381 A.D.) according to the connotation of the old saying of "The Peaceful the Sea is, the Calm Her Waves Would Be". As an important port of the Maritime Silk Road, Ningbo has historically been a major trading partner of Japan and South Korea. Ceramic art is one of great creations of China. With the advantage of geographical location, the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Archipelago inherited China's creation, firing skill and development of ceramic art, and opened a new chapter in terms of imitation and exchange of Yuezhou kilns and Longquan kilns, making Ningbo an important transit port. 

Since modern times, the ceramic art of China, Japan and South Korea has formed their own shape and appearance, and each has had a far-reaching impact on the development of ceramic art in the world. Thanks to the development and progress made in more than 40 years of reform and opening up, Chinese contemporary ceramic art has gradually become an important force in the field of contemporary ceramic art in the world.

The 2022 Ningbo International (China, Japan and Korea) Contemporary Young Ceramic Artists Exhibition is a gathering of works of young ceramic artists from China, Japan and South Korea, so as to develop and expand humanistic sentiments generated from the interaction of human beings and the pottery, extend the life experience of art and scientific technology, and emphasize the linking function of ceramic art in multi-cultural integration.

The Shining World

About the artist

张曦月

The shining world…

In this fantastical world, everyone enters a process that repeats itself over and over again. In a world of infinite exposure and infinite acceptance. Some people have a huge diamond growing on their left side of the face, some people are making love with their armpits... Keep looking, hopes and ideals are like a disaster, I don't know how to put them in time. My soul covets my loneliness, it's my only remaining, elusive thought that makes my spirit flourish.

闪光的世界

在这个奇幻的世界里，每个人都进入了一个循环反复的过程。在一个无限暴露，又无限被接纳的世界里。有的人左侧的脸上长了一颗巨大的钻石，有的人在用腋窝做爱…继续寻找，希望和理想如同一场灾难，我不知到如何把他们放到时间当中去。我的灵魂垂涎于我的孤独，是我那仅存的，又不可告人的想法，使我的精神繁荣。

Words from Artist 作者按

       我现在生活在澳大利亚的一个小岛上，名字叫做塔斯马尼亚岛，这是一个心形的小岛，风景也很特别，四季如秋，冬日里每天都可以看得见极光，每个人都像穿越时空来到这座城市一样，这次作品的名字叫“The Shining World”, 灵感也是来自这座城里的人们。

Further detail of the work 作品创作说明

作品的材料是纸本素描结合水墨手绘完成的，用了两个月的时间，从最初的250张草稿中挑选出来了三张，并具有一定的潜在叙事性连接的作品，并把它们放大到极致，让在这座城里的神奇和怪诞，随着作品，讲述出来。这次我也使用动画作品放置在整体作品中，使怪诞的风格更加强烈，现场结合了动画和音效等多种媒体结合的方式，希望作品呈现出比自己以往做的架上有一点点不一样的地方。

Hangzhou art exhibitions paint the wonders of Southern Song Dynasty | 千年一遇！北宋郭熙领衔南宋四家真迹首聚，一生必看的中国艺术史不朽高峰

By Xingming Wu | March 20,2023

Exhibition duration: March 18,2023 - April 16, 2023

Address:No. 218 Nanshan Road, the art museum of China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China

Hangzhou, capital city of Zhejiang province, East China, was the political, economic and cultural center more than 800 years ago, when it served as the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279).

A gathering of prominent intellectuals, scholars, artists and luminaries in other fields elevated the city's culture and art to a new peak, casting a long-standing influence in Chinese history that has lasted to present day.

To mark this booming scene, five exhibitions opened at the art museum of China Academy of Art in Hangzhou on Saturday. Paintings and calligraphic pieces from different periods of time are now on show to showcase the Song era to audiences, and to help them understand how Chinese cultural traditions have been passed on throughout centuries.

The center exhibition of the five is Embrace the Landscape, which brings together 37 classic paintings — 10 of them dated to Song Dynasty (960-1279) — loaned from major museums across the country, including the Palace Museum in Beijing, Tianjin Museum and Zhejiang Provincial Museum. It provides an enactment of the landscapes and social and cultural lives led by people in Southern Song, in Hangzhou, then called Lin'an, and neighboring areas in Jiangnan, a term referring to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Through these objects one will also see the cultural lineage that has been passed on since the Tang Dynasty (618-906) and has been further developed by the elite communities in Song, and how their accomplishments continued to guide and inspire artists in the following dynasties.

Another two exhibitions survey the art of Huang Binhong and Pan Tianshou, respectively, two leading artists of modern China who in their lifetime carried in-depth research of Song art and reformed the face of Chinese ink art to usher it into a new stage of time.

Five exhibitions of paintings and calligraphic pieces were opened at the art museum of China Academy of Art in Hangzhou on Saturday. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]

They discussed the prospect of exhibiting artworks by resident artists introduced to China through the Tasmania Chinese Contemporary Art Association at the Yi Space Contemporary Art Center.

The Tasmania Chinese Contemporary Art Association hereby introduces our new exhibition partner in Hangzhou, China - Yi Space Contemporary Art Center.

Space Introduction

Yi Space Contemporary Art Center was established in Hangzhou in 2020. It integrates into the contemporary art world with a fresh approach, dedicated to discovering and promoting high-quality artists and art projects. The space aims to transcend conventional boundaries, offering the public professional artistic perspectives and aesthetic values, building a smooth bridge between art and the public.

The space is located in the Phoenix International Creative Park in Xihu District, covering an area of about 650 square meters. The building was originally a cement factory from the 1970s, later redesigned and renovated. It is now an independent art space that combines academic exhibitions, public projects, art research, and art derivative promotion. "Yi" is an alternative form of the Chinese character for "one". Named "Yi", the space embodies more dimensional possibilities and a higher sense of mission.

Ages of Splendor: A History of Spain in the Museo del Prado

2024-04-23 - 2024-09-01

About the Exhibition

Ages of Splendor: A History of Spain in the Museo del Prado, co-organized by Museo Nacional del Prado and Museum of Art Pudong (MAP), opens to the public on April 23, 2024. The exhibition marks the largest presentation of Museo del Prado's collection in China in terms of scale. It is also one-of-a-kind in terms of content, as MAP stands to be the only institution in the whole world to hold this special project. The exhibition runs through September 1, 2024.

The exhibition features a selection of 70 masterpieces from the collection of Museo del Prado, among which 16 pieces have never been on view outside of Spain, and 9 have never been loaned out from the museum before. Over half of the works are shown for the very first time in Asia. Spanning from the 16th to 20th centuries, Ages of Splendorputs on view masterpieces by nearly 50 remarkable artists in the history of European art, including works by Titian, Veronés, El Greco, Rubens, Zurbarán, Velázquez, Murillo, Ribera, Goya, Fortuny and Sorolla.

Structured around different accounts, the exhibition consists of one special section entitled "In Focus" and 10 complementary themed rooms. "In Focus" features one of the most significant works of Museo del Prado – the Prado's Mona Lisa, which is believed to be the earliest known studio copy of Leonardo's masterpiece. Complemented by multimedia installations and archival materials, "In Focus" sheds light on the intricate interconnections between the Prado's Mona Lisa and the original at the Louvre. Through the 10 complementary themes such as "The Celebrations in the Spanish Court", "The Nobility, the Bourgeoisie and the Royalty in the Spanish Territories", "Thought and Spirituality", "Sacred Images as Everyday Images" and "The Beauty of Everyday Objects: The Still Life", visitors are introduced to Spain's social, political and historical evolution over nearly 500 years, from the reign of Charles V to the start of the 20th century. There is also a particular focus on the evolution of specific artistic genres such as mythology, dwarf, still life and religious painting, each of them the subject of specific rooms, of which the space devoted to mythology is particularly striking as it evokes the "Sala Reservada" (private room) that existed in the Prado during its early years. It's also worth noting that there are in total 8 masterpieces by Goya on view, making him the artist with the largest number of works in this exhibition.

Ages of Splendor: A History of Spain in the Museo del Prado is produced by Shanghai Lujiazui Development (Group) Company Limited, and co-organized by Museo Nacional del Prado and Museum of Art Pudong. The exhibition is curated by Dr. Pedro J. Martínez Plaza from 19th Century Painting Conservation Area at the Museo del Prado.

Fantastic Visions: 100 Years of Surrealism from the National Galleries of Scotland

Be inspired by our amazing art films. Choose your own experience. There is no one way to enjoy Scotland's national collection. We are yours to discover.

About the Exhibition

2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of the Surrealist Manifesto, written by poet André Breton. Fantastic Visions: 100 Years of Surrealism from the National Galleries of Scotland, organized by Museum of Art Pudong (MAP) with the National Galleries of Scotland, will open to the public on February 2, 2024. 

This exhibition, drawn entirely from the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland, contains over 100 major works by over 50 artists, including some of the world's most important surrealists like Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Max Ernst, Joan Miró, Leonora Carrington, and Dorothea Tanning. All the artworks on display, ranging from painting, sculpture, frottage, collage, photography, manuscripts, and books, are presented in China for the first time.

Taking a journey through the history of the Surrealist movement, the exhibition guides the audience from its early origins to the centennial celebration. Divided into three sections, Fantastic Visions presents vivid pictures of the development of Surrealism throughout the 20th century. Moreover, on the 4th floor of the museum, there's a specially designed area for visitors to further interact with Surrealism and take fun pictures.

Surrealism, one of the most influential art movements of the 20th century, is known for unleashing imagination and unconventional means of expression. The fantastic visions it presented have had a profound and far-reaching impact on later generations of artists and cultures worldwide. The rise in Surrealism was a response to the horrors of war, and the ongoing threats presented by the modern world. Artists resorted to psychic automatism, emphasizing the importance of the subconscious mind in artistic creation. Inspired by the psychoanalytic writings of Sigmund Freud, Surrealist artists gave up conventional techniques and explored the subconscious. More than a resistance to conformity in the field of art, it also evoked revolutionary resonance in the wider cultural scenes. Dada and Surrealism laid a foundation for later emerging movements such as Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. The developments of Surrealism expanded the boundaries for artistic creation, as its anti-rational attitude not only formed a profound metaphor of reality, but also enabled interpenetration between illusion and reality.

The exhibition is produced by Shanghai Lujiazui Development (Group) Co., Ltd., and co-organized by the Museum of Art Pudong and the National Galleries of Scotland.

Tasmania Artist's Residency Report in Huangshan

On November 1st, as Typhoon Connie approached, we departed from downtown Hangzhou towards She County in Anhui Province, the cultural homeland of southern Anhui's ancient Huizhou. The purpose of this trip was to explore the culture of ancient Huizhou. Ancient Huizhou has left behind numerous cultural treasures throughout Chinese history, including original rural landscapes with ancient residences, primarily architectural structures from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

These feature distinctive architectural layouts and exquisite brick, wood, and stone carvings. The ancient Huizhou prefecture walls and memorial archways, along with three of the four traditional Chinese scholarly treasures still used today - ink sticks, inkstones, and Xuan paper - embody the profound civilization of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The area also includes Huangshan (Yellow Mountain), renowned as a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage site and Global Geopark.

We visited the Old Hu Kaiwen Ink Factory in She County, famous in Japan and Korea for traditional Huizhou ink sticks and inkstones, where we observed the ink-making process and craftsmanship up close, gaining appreciation for the ancient ink makers' challenging work. We also watched the stone selection, carving, and finishing processes for inkstones. Hope particularly enjoyed this and purchased some items as souvenirs. For our third stop, we visited Master Pan's studio, a successor of Hui-style woodcarving, and engaged in discussions.

During this trip, we traveled along the scenic Xin'an River and visited the Ming Dynasty ancestral hall of the Wu family in Changxi Ancient Town, She County. The ancient village, nestled quietly in the mountains, features massive wooden pillars and smooth, jade-like stone column bases, with magnificent hall spaces.

Our fourth stop was the Jingxian Xuan Paper Research Institute, where we had an in-depth exchange with Mr. Zhu Jianxin, an intangible cultural heritage inheritor and factory director. Director Zhu guided us through each production step, explaining and allowing me to test different papers with ink. We were impressed by the factory's tireless efforts in preserving and developing traditional Xuan paper craftsmanship, noting that they supply 70% of Japan's Abuzen paper, as well as paper for Palace Museum restoration and the Chinese Winter Olympics. We gained extensive knowledge about traditional Xuan paper craftsmanship, making the visit truly worthwhile.

The final stop was the scenic Huangshan, where Hope could surely experience the characteristics and features of traditional Chinese art. Notably, on the way from the paper factory, she was already contemplating how to integrate this cultural art form with Western art. We look forward to seeing how these different civilizations, through artists' residency activities and deep experiential understanding, will ultimately bloom and bear fruit in artistic creation.
