  • Entrevista YING Chaojun
    Personal Interview with YING Chaojun, The co-responsible and design director of ARCHITECTURE-STUDIO · CHINA Oficial Master of Cultural Management, University of Barcelona LIU Sifan April, 2018 “ Architecture as a landscape of city, should gracefully be the city’s image, instead of an aggressive odd. ” 22. 04. 2018 -- YING Chaojun “ (...) We focus on the concept of architectural design itself, we don't praise highly architect stars.” As majored in architecture, it still can be seen that there is a sense of architect’s mission in YING Chaojun’s mind, who is one of the partner architects of ARCHITECTURE-STUDIO · FRANCE, the co-responsible and design director of ARCHITECTURE- STUDIO · CHINA at present. This personal interview was covered by the student on Oficial Master of Cultural Management of the University of Barcelona, with a discussion directing to cultural management in detail of re-presentation of cultural identities reflected on contemporary architecture in China. During the interview, YING Chaojun emphasized that, the modern architecture, particularly those projects in the field of public service, should play a role representing the city’s image and conveying a certain cultural characteristics. In order to return to architecture itself, his team do not praise architect stars, on the contrast, they respect each other and regard the comprehensiveness as their team’s working ethnic. To deepen further, YING Chaojun metaphorically regarded architect as a screen director. That is to say, an architect has that responsibility to create a spacial plot. Specifically referring to museums, art galleries, etc., in the field of public projects. These architectural works should provoke visitor’s appreciation to the territorial and historical cultural atmosphere that raised by this architectural space.

  • The-Art-Market-In-2019.Pdf
    Methodology The Art Market analysis presented in this report is based on results of Fine Art auctions that occu- red between 1st January and 31st December 2019, listed by Artprice and Artron. For the purposes of this report, Fine Art means paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, prints, videos, instal- lations, tapestries, but excludes antiques, anonymous cultural goods and furniture. All the prices in this report indicate auction results – including buyer’s premium. The $ sign refers to the US dollar and the ¥ sign refers to the Chinese yuan. The exchange rate used to convert AMMA sales results in China is an average annual rate. Any reference to “Western Art” or “the West” refers to the global art market, minus China. Chinese Art is divided into two main categories: • “Chinese Painting and Calligraphy” indicates traditional Chinese art such as works in ink on a variety of substrates including Xuan paper, silk and fans. “Chinese calligraphy” is focused on lettering, words, poems and wishes, whereas “Chinese painting” represents landscapes, people, birds and flowers. • “Oil painting and Contemporary art” indicates artworks created by Chinese artists who appropriated Western techniques and artistic media (oil painting, photography, sculpture, installation, drawing in pencil, gouache, watercolors, etc.) after an oil on canvas was pres- ented in China for the first time in 1579. Regarding the Western Art market, the following historical segmentation of “creative period” has been used: • “Old Masters” refers to works by artists born before 1760. • “19th century” refers to works by artists born between 1760 and 1860. • “Modern art” refers to works by artists born between 1860 and 1920.

  • Comparativism from Inside and Outside: Not Only a Matter of Viewpoint
    Comparativism from Inside and Outside: Not only a matter of viewpoint Review of: Comparativism in Art History, edited by Jaś Elsner, London & New York: An Ashgate Book, Routledge, 2017, ISBN 978-1-472-41884-5 hardback, 234 pages with 84 B&W illustrations. £76 John Clark This is a very heterogenous book with many different kinds of approaches, all of whose writers are found solidly within existing Anglo-American art historical, anthropological and archaeological institutions. There is no writer from a non- Euramerican institution, and the two writers of Asian background – Stanley Abe and Wu Hung - are already well-emplaced in the US’ academic world. The publishers state on their web-site blurb for this book that, Art history is less a single discipline than a series of divergent scholarly fields but all with a visual emphasis on the close examination of objects.1 It may be that, for some of these authors, art history is about the historically aesthetic character of art works and only tangentially about the social meaning art works carry, that it relegates as outside consideration those forces which are external to art productions, is unconcerned with other-cultural constructions, and consequently de-emphasizes the institutions of the art world which constrain these. The ‘Acknowledgements’ make a reference to an undated ‘conference’ under the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and Institute of Fine Arts, New York University [vii], a grant awarded in a programme which apparently ran for the years 2011-2016,2 but except for a further reference in the introduction [1], the reader is given no further details of the conference, its participants and papers, and therefore can make no direct appraisal of the linkage to those in the present volume.

  • Reworking the Classics: Revitalization of Guohua, Traditional Chinese Painting, in Search of Contemporaneity
    Reworking the Classics: Revitalization of Guohua, Traditional Chinese Painting, in Search of Contemporaneity An exegesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Fine Art (DFA) – Professional Doctorate Koon Wai Bong School of Art, College of Design and Social Context RMIT University, Melbourne August, 2011 Declaration I certify that except where due acknowledgement has been made, the work is that of the author alone; the work has not been submitted previously, in whole or in part, to qualify for any other academic award; the content of the thesis is the result of work which has been carried out since the official commencement date of the approved research program; and; any editorial work, paid or unpaid, carried out by a third party is acknowledged; ethics procedures and guidelines have been followed.

Associate Professor Kevin White, Associate Professor Terry Batt, Dr. Ma Kwai Shun, Dr. Ho Siu Kee, Ms. Sunny Wang, Ms. Eileen Hauling Lam, Dr. Pedith Chan, and My Heavenly Father. ii Abstract Since the early twentieth century a quest has been eagerly anticipated for Chinese painters to revive and rejuvenate the concept guohua, which literally means national painting. In Hong Kong which serves as a convergence of Chinese and Western cultural narratives, "hybridity" comes to be a primary concern for local artists to take into consideration in their art creation. As a Chinese painter I consider my artworks to related to the guohua concept, however I also aim to shape my art to reveal the identity of Hong Kong culture through hybridity, and to revive guohua through sustaining the great tradition of bimo (literally meaning the brush and ink), in Chinese painting, as well as appropriating Western modes of expression.
