Tis ongoing research examines the historical narratives and ideological construct of Chinese contemporary art in a timeframe of 67 years since 1949. Salon, Salon focuses on a ten-year period from the year of 1972 after Lin Biao's botched coup against Mao and airplane crash in 1971 to the year of 1982, marked by Te Summary of the Fifth National Trial Conference on the "Two Cases" approved and issued by the Central Government. We consider this decade not only as a critical transition in China's political history, but also as a relatively cohesive artistic period. By studying the detailed features and multi-layered fne art practices within this period, we reconsider the mentality and approaches of artists in a period of dramatic political changes and the issue of judgments in existing historical narratives of art. Tis exhibition inquires into the artistic practices of three generations of artists, mainly active in Beijing, within this ten-year period. Specifcally, we zoom in to study the Beijing Oil Painting Society , Men of the Same Generation (the Contemporaries Group), the No Name Group, the Stars, Friday Salon, April Photographers Society, and a small number of artists. Tese were artist initiatives and individual members emerging in the late 1970s, involving three generations of artists of varied educational backgrounds and statuses including: 1) Painters trained before the Liberation War (1945-1949); 2) Painters trained after the founding of People’s Republic of China (1949) and before the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976); 3) Amateurish painters appearing before and during the Cultural Revolution; 4) Young artists, writers and poets who graduated and became active in the late Cultural Revolution or after the end of Cultural Revolution. This exhibition includes artworks of some of the involved artists, made around the period from 1972 to 1982, as well as archival materials that outline the historical settings out of which their works and practice had emerged. It looks at the "internal exile" of artists and their practice under harsh political circumstances, from the late Cultural Revolution to the eve of the Reform and Open Door policy in China, considering how individual practitioners had explored, defined, oscillated or adjusted their personal standpoints confronted by the tension between art and politics. In particular, we will investigate the modernist experience inherited from the Republican Period of China, how it contradicted, collided, intertwined, reconciled with and strayed from the mainstream ideology within the structure of the People's Republic of China. To study the formation of "Chinese contemporary art" in the historical period of 67 years of a New China is to recognize the extremely complex artistic system full of "inner contradictions" that gradually took shape since 1949. Te current historical narrative of the origin of Chinese contemporary art stresses its rupture from the fne art tradition since 1949, and describes contemporary art as in a "transitional" state in terms of its relationship towards art before the end of the Cultural Revolution. Yet such a perception obviously fails to sufciently account for many actions and directions as witnessed in contemporary art of the past three decades. Although such dualistic narrative structures as politics vs. art, orthodoxy vs. heterodoxy, oppression vs. submission, independence vs. dependence might have a certain historical legitimacy in specifc contexts, they are far from being adequate when it comes to describing the versatility, complexity and fuidity of both the current and historical realities. Such a narrative structure based on dualist oppositions has formulated a basic description and consciousness. It is an inert extension of the "revolutionary" narrative plot, subjectively suspending the varied conficting elements in the space and time of history. Te narrative construct of contemporary art that bases its legitimacy on its "avant-garde" position has long revealed its limitations and narrow-mindedness in the process of providing stimulus to artistic practitioners. In this research, we delve into the actions taken by cultural bureaucrats and professionally trained artists to enact changes for art within the ofcial system, as well as the reactions and responses in the wider society ignited by such actions. We also look at bottom-up autonomous initiatives carried out by non-ofcial art practitioners. Art became a common starting point that both forces within and outside of the established ofcial structure engaged with. We seek to observe the basic structures, driving forces and processes of formation in art through an "integrative" perspective, whereby we introduce and underscore the accidental and heterogeneous elements in order to refect on the multiple tracks of interactions between art and politics within the broad framework of "national revolution." By engaging with "details and materials" and discussing specific case studies, this exhibition re- contextualizes the abstracted experience in contemporary art, foregrounds the lively presence of history, and activates the scenes and situations that have been generalized, omitted or concealed, including specifc thinking, emotion, and atmosphere. To excavate the "heterogeneous" parts that have "escaped" the public historical narrative and that have been neglected or concealed due to its "illegitimacy" is not to construct an opposite and antithetic history; rather, it is, as in most cases, to articulate diferences and complexity, and to question the direction of the discursive construct of the mainstream narrative. Ultimately, it is to locate the hidden cracks in the existing narrative, which can become new beginnings for refection. Tis exhibition is co-curated by Liu Ding and Carol Yinghua Lu. Artist Yan Bo, art critic and curator Su Wei, art historian Chen Shuxia and architecture historian Song Ke have contributed to this project as researchers.

  • The Memory of Landscape in Beijing
    Montreal Architectural Review The Memory of Landscape in Beijing Hui Zou University of Florida Abstract The paper studies the memory of landscape in Beijing and its significance to communicative spaces. The research focuses on historical coincidences between Beijing and ancient Chinese capitals to reveal the historicity of landscape in Beijing. The research analyzes the polarized relationship between imperial land- scape and scholarly landscape in Chinese capitals to discover the cultural role of mnemonic landscape for the identity of a city as well as the freedom of human individuality. The paper interprets the planning of a capital as recorded in earliest Chinese literature, compares suburban landscapes and urban gardens in the capitals of the Western Han, Northern Wei, and Tang dynasties, configures the map of mnemonic land- scapes in Beijing of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and discloses the hidden landscape enclaves in modern Beijing. The paper concludes with a historical criticism regarding urbanization in contemporary China. Landscape and Peaceful Living Throughout contemporary urbanization, many rural Chinese migrate to larger cities for a better life through seeking employment at thriving construction sites. The high density of new tall buildings shrinks the existence of mnemonic landscapes, which latter are inherent to public spaces and the characteristic of a MAR Volume 1, 2014 6 Hui Zou | Montreal Architectural Review : Vol. 1, 2014 city. The theme of the Shanghai Expo in 2010 was coined as “Better City, Better Life,” which implied both the ambition and anxiety regarding urbanization. What is missing in urban society is people’s realizing that the value of a good life lies in the collective memory of historic landscapes.

Worries about terrorist attacks, both from international groups and Muslim separatists from western China, and about protests of any kind have prompted one of China's broadest security clampdowns in years. The overall effect is that while Beijing looks cheerful, with colorful Olympic banners and new signs, the city feels tense. Vehicle checkpoints ring Beijing. Visa rules have been tightened to keep out foreign activists. Police have swept Beijing neighborhoods to remove Chinese who have come to the capital to complain about local government misdeeds, and known political critics and underground Christians have been told to leave. China is ramping up security ahead of the Beijing Games. But Liu Shaowu, director for security for the Beijing Olympic organizing committee, said Wednesday that areas in at least three public parks near outlying sporting venues have been set aside for use by demonstrators.

  • China Travel to Beijing, Xian, and Shanghai China Slide Show – Images by Lee Foster by Lee Foster
    China Travel to Beijing, Xian, and Shanghai China Slide Show – Images by Lee Foster by Lee Foster Fascination with China arises partly because the country has so many people, over 1.3 billion, one fourth of the world population. Many travelers want to see how these people live and what they think. Since the “Open Door” policy in China went into effect in 1978, countless North Americans have visited the country. The Chinese manifest one of the oldest continuous cultures on the planet, flourishing for 5,000 years, including over 2,000 years with a written pictoral language universally readable within the country. China has reached peaks of cultural attainment that equal, or surpass, anything that Western European societies or America have achieved. Some of the seminal developments include the creation of paper, gunpowder, and movable type. The size and diversity of China also allures. Among countries, only Russia and Canada are larger. The perennial attractions of travel to China and elsewhere have always transcended, for me, the temporary restrictions against travel for political reasons that some critics urged. If the world traveler restricted travel as an expression of political disapproval of current leadership policies, then many countries would be vulnerable, not the least of which would be the United States itself from time to time. The modern social experiment in Chinese life is an amazing phenomenon to meditate upon. While Chinese society has mobilized in the past to produce goods in substantial quantities for an emperor, now the Chinese focus their energy on their own well-being, attempting to provide adequate housing, universal education, access to medical care, and childcare.

    Hey guys! This booklet has been produced by undergraduates in the year above to tell you about what will happen when you go to Beijing to study. This period is, for most people, their only opportunity (during the degree) to spend a long time in China and to gain some fluency in Chinese. From third year onwards, the Oxford course places more focus on history and Classical Chinese, so take advantage of the opportunity to get your modern Chinese up to scratch and gain a decent speaking ability in Chinese to take away with you. But don’t forget to make the most of the experience and have fun! This booklet should tell you most of what you need to know before you leave and what do to when you arrive, and it will hopefully help you make the most of living in Beijing. You’ll find the “Step-By-Step Guide to Setting Up Your Life” section has particularly useful information before you go and when you first arrive. Some things can’t be covered by the booklet, so if you find yourself in a really bizarre situation in China, or have any other kind of question, feel free to contact any of us: Alex Kimmons, Hertford: [email protected] Michelle Liu, St Anne’s: [email protected] Vicky Mayne, St Anne’s: [email protected] Aline Laheye, Pembroke: [email protected] Sam Savory, Pembroke: [email protected] Billy Beswick, St Hilda’s: [email protected] Flossie Taylor, St Hilda’s: [email protected] Julian Gray, Univ: [email protected] Molly Delaney, Univ: [email protected]
