Shenzhen became a city in the year of ox, 1985. Hong Kong came back to her motherland in the year of Ox, 1997. With plain and carefree appearance, balky but tractable temperament, diligent and brave spirit, oxen don’t ask for coziness and honor being alive and sacrifice skin, fur, bone and meat after death. Among these 1,000 pieces of oxen works exhibited in this museum, some are bowing their heads, some are raising their feet, some are taking a rest, and others are licking their calf or playing with the cowboys. No matter in which position and shapes, they are all sculptured vividly, showing the character of ox's honesty, hardworking, stubbornness and persistence at the same time arousing visitor’s laughing or meditation. The material of which these oxen are made cover a wide range of 60 kinds, such as bronze, jade, wood, stone, pottery, tin, ox-horn, sea shell, pearl, glass, crystal, etc. Some of them are unearthed cultural relics; others are modern fine sculpture works and masterpieces, done by crafts and artisan masters.

Graduated from Stroganov Moscow State University of Industrial and Applied Arts (1990-1996, Department of Ceramics), with postgraduate studies in art history in the same school (1998- 2000). Member of the Moscow Union of Artists, International Artist Federation, International Academy of Ceramics IAC, Professor of the Stroganov University. Starting 1993 constantly participated in Russian and International exhibitions. Many of Natalia Khlebtsevich's installations are marked by the presence of biological components. The primary media of her work are clay and porcelain which, by way of firing, become permanently unchangeable, thus signifying the irrevocable terminality. Juxtaposed to this nominal timelessness, the biological, obviously mortal parts stand as contrapuntal elements embodying life and growth, constantly changing the visual perception of the objects. Some of the installations include light and water and soundtracks epitomizing the passage of time. The work is not in a state of standstill, the accompanying living things and recorded sounds induce the viewers in the process of its creation engaging them to participate in artist’s exploration of human condition and the perception of time.

  • CUNY in Nanjing
    China Program Description, p. 1 of 5 CUNY-BC Study in China: Program Description & Itinerary Tentative Program Dates: May 30-June 20, 2016 Application Deadline: March 21, 2016 Program Director: Professor Shuming Lu Department of Speech Communication Arts & Sciences Brooklyn College, the City University of New York Telephone: 718-951-5225 E-mail: [email protected] This program is designed in such a way that all travel is education-related. The cities we have chosen to visit are all sites of great historical and cultural importance. 1. Beijing is the current capital of China and used to be the capital of several late Chinese dynasties. Many sites in Beijing (e.g., Tiananmen Square, Palace Museum, Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Summer Palace, the Olympic Stadium) are directly related to what we are teaching in our courses on Chinese history, culture, society, and Chinese business & economy. 2. Xi’an was where Chinese dynasties started several thousand years ago and many subsequent emperors established their capitals. It is also the eastern starting point of the ancient overland Silk Road. Sites that strongly support the academic content of our courses are the Terra Cotta Museum, Qin Shihuangdi Emperor’s Mausoleum, Wild Good Pagoda Buddhist Temple & Square, Xuanzang Buddhist Statue, Silk Road Sites, Tang Dynasty Art Museum, Muslim Quarter, and the Great Mosque. 3. Nanjing was the capital of six ancient Chinese dynasties and the capital of the first Republic of China—a place of great significance in modern Chinese history. Ming Dynasty first established its capital here and then moved the capital to Beijing.
