The 9th South-North Sculpture Exhibition

_20230421175318.jpg

In 2014, the "North South Sculpture Exhibition" was jointly launched by Guangzhou Sculpture Academy and Shaanxi Sculpture Academy, opening a regional sculpture exhibition and exchange platform. In the next few years, Hainan Sculpture Society and plastic arts College of Guangxi Academy of Arts joined in succession, making the scale and influence of the exhibition expand rapidly. At present, it is an annual event with unique brand effect in the domestic sculpture industry, and continues to pay attention to and explore the positive interaction and practical innovation between regional cultures.

Stride on a new journey and write a new chapter. The North South Sculpture Exhibition has returned to Guangzhou as it enters its ninth year. How can exhibitions and creations present new characteristics and achievements in the new context of advancing towards the second centenary goal of art with the development of the times? This is a proposition that we need to think deeply and provide practical solutions. This exhibition is a summary, an answer, and a question. This exhibition will showcase 90 works by sculptors from Guangzhou, Shaanxi, Hainan, and Guangxi, where regional characteristics, cultural experience, creative focus, and expression methods collide and blend, generating multidimensional perspectives of observation, thinking, and insights.

All Things Created by Fade

_20230328120226.jpg

The eastern world has been sensitive to the concept of dan 淡 (the lightness of a painting’s color. The name, “fade”, is inspired from fadeur in French art) and gone so far as to bestow it with an abstract structure. Though devoid of direct echoes and attention from viewers, the art concept is concrete: relative with the denseness of colors, it is characterized by clarity and originality in a non-solemn way. It exchanges the guiding and arousing effects for viewers’ focus on the natural presentation of the objects in paintings. Comprised of the dialectical relationship between “tough” and “gentle”, the concept serves as a link between the finite and the infinite and eventually merges into the tangible material and intangible ideology of paintings. Therefore, dan, the eastern fade, is not only a visual expression but also a symbol of ideal and wisdom of the literati in Chinese landscape paintings. 

This exhibition is honored to invite eight artists, including Chen Shuxia, Wang Shaoqiang, Zeng Jianyong, Peng Wei, Wang Muyuu, Hang Chunhui, Kang Haitao, and Huang Yishan, all of whom will interpret the eastern fade via the application of different media and materials as well as their unique way of expression. Their interpretations range from highlighting the subtle elegance of colors as well as utilizing transparent and flowing colors, to turning the common forms and narrative delicate and novel, and to constructing unadorned but intriguing imagery through abstract forms by minimizing the focus on connotations. As the concept is both the origin and the destination of all, it makes the balance shown in paintings possible and facilitates the normal functioning of their internal logics. Instead of implying deficiency, it tells the truth about naturality: all things are created by fade.

The Image Of China Spreads To The West

_20230307120344.jpg

In these printmaking works about China before the First Opium War, Chinese scenery was deeply processed by a subjective way, which is a European imagination of the mysterious East -- a country that can produce such exquisite silk, porcelain, lacquerware, tea, is an idyllic paradise: the people there live and work in peace and contentment The emperor led his officials to manage the country according to the strict Confucian moral life.  People of any class can become officials through the fair imperial examination system and participate in the management of public affairs.  Voltaire, a famous French thinker in the so-called "Enlightenment", is the promoter of this statement.  However, after the publication of the real news of the Magarney Mission in China from 1792 to 1794 in Europe, people were surprised to realize the various ills of the arrogant and narrow Qing Empire.  When Hegel read the "Record of the British Envoy Visiting Qianlong" by Stendon in the Magarney Mission, he commented that the autocratic dictatorship of the emperor of the Chinese Empire had deprived everyone in the empire of free will, and the whole Chinese civilization was in a state of stagnation and sleep.  However, the weakness of the Qing Empire and the big powers in the military conflict seems to confirm Hegel's statement of this ancient oriental civilization.  After the Opium War, the Qing government had to open its doors and gradually open more trading ports to western countries.  It also made more real images of China spread through various weekly magazines and pictorial newspapers in European countries.

Boom×100000000!

_20230307112325.jpg

Chu Shaowei's mirror painting practice is the "completion of meaning" of new media, and also the "phased completion of vector". He breaks the silence of painting in the direction of moving forward, while retreating to collect old toys from the 1970s and 1990s, in order to exchange life for time points, with the experimental life background of artist Anton Vidokl, rather than revealing.

Chu Shaowei is an artist who pursues "light" in easel painting, and he mobilized film. Each painting is the result of the superposition of different painting patterns on multiple layers and one side. After the bottom layer is painted on the cloth, the film is superimposed layer by layer. The special transparent reflective material used in the work itself makes each layer of ambiguous color gamut more transparent and clear. At the same time, the work itself has absorbed the surrounding environment, and seems to be opening up the folded space of the surrounding things. This has become a "mirror dimension", and the dimension vector has also been liberated, which seems to echo with ChatGPT, rather than reveal.

A Long Echo

_20230419121138.jpg

The theme of the exhibition is "A long echo". It systematically combs the artists' awareness of problems and methods in their creation, as well as the artistic ecology in which the artists live, and carries out an experimental crossing of Southwest contemporary art in the cultural memory and regional experience of different times. The touching works of 48 contemporary artists from Southwest China stretch in different historical contexts, making us stop and feel the reverberations brought by the present moment.

This joint launch with Luohu Art Museum has realized the artistic linkage of southwest contemporary art radiating to Shenzhen and even the whole country from an international perspective. Today, in the face of a new context, Laning Art Center always keeps to the academic debate of locality and globalization, raises periodical questions, and discusses them through innovative curatorial discourse and methodology.

Au pied de la lettre

e14714041c0d3f60e691f1f4ccac9034.png

Florence Levillain's personal work has always focused on rediscovering the universes that are close to everyone but are unknown or forgotten by many. The French language is one of these universes: every day, French people use lots of vivid metaphors, without thinking about their literal meaning or understanding their origin. Florence revisits these expressions and places them in the spotlight by framing them into pictures "au pied de la lettre" or "literally". The result is an unusual series of photography works which aims to raise awareness of the lyricism and humour of French language metaphors.

Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass

_20230505115951.jpg

The University Museum and Art Gallery of the University of Hong Kong is honoured to collaborate with the French May Arts Festival on Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass, an unprecedented display of works by the world-famous twentieth-century painter. In the mid-1950s, the workshops of Roger Malherbe-Navarre expanded on the light boxes of French painter Jean Crotti by layering pieces of glass into pictorial depictions (gemmail, French for 'enamel gem') of several of Picasso's paintings.

Impressed by the gemmistes' masterful assembling and fusing of carefully selected glass, Picasso declared, 'A new art is born!' Made and exhibited to explore and display the medium's artistic possibilities, the results are simply astonishing. The selection of works on loan from a private collection, and on view at UMAG during the French May Arts Festival 2023, shed new light on some of Picasso's most renowned painterly compositions.
