Fairs and Exhibitions in China 2015 Fairs and Exhibitions in China 2015 Preface Although China became the first trading country in the world in 2013, there was still a big gap from the target of a “trading power” with high quality and technology as well as strong competitiveness and creativity. Currently, China’s economy still faces many difficulties and challenges, including the big pressure of economic downturn and the pains of structural adjustment. In the future, the growth rate of world’s economy may show a slight rise, but it is difficult to significantly change the trend of recovery weakness. In the “new normal” context that China’s economic growth declines from a high speed to a middle-high speed, economic structure is constantly optimized and upgraded, and the element-driven and investment-driven mode turns into innovation-driven mode, professional economic and trading exhibitions, as an effective channel of optimizing industrial structure, encouraging scientific and technological innovation, exploiting trade and investment markets, and promoting balanced development between export and trade, should catch the opportunity to help China’s enterprises to realize transformation and upgrade, push up economic development, enhance economic quality and efficiency, and cultivate new advantages in international competitiveness. China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) has held and participated in economic and trade exhibitions around the world since 60 years ago. Since the reform and opening-up, especially when China entered into WTO, CCPIT has given full play to its advantages to provide management and other services for overall, coordinated and sustainable development of China’s exhibition economy, and put up an effective platform for extensive exhibition organizers and exhibitors to carry out international exchange and economic and trade cooperation, thus making its contributions to the prosperous development of China’s exhibition industry. CCPIT began to edit and publish Fairs and Exhibitions in China since 1995 and issued the first China Exhibition Almanac in 1999. From the year of 2004, CCPIT has organized experts in exhibition industry to write Annual Report on China’s Exhibition Industry based on a great deal of investigation and analysis. In 2005, CCPIT, jointly with UFI, IAEE and SISO, founded China Expo Forum for International Cooperation (CEFEO), and issued the first Annual Report on China’s Exhibition Industry in the forum. These publications offer reliable information and valuable decision-making references for China’s governmental sector, chambers of commerce and associations, exhibition industry, foreign trade enterprises, foreign business institutions and enterprises, and promote further legislation, marketization, industrialization and internationalization of China’s exhibition economy. Through long-term organization of exhibitions and professional publishing work, CCPIT has accumulated a large amount of data and information on exhibitions, venues and exhibition enterprises. Since 2012, CCPIT has speeded up information construction of exhibition, and established the exhibition information collection system among trade promotion units distributed in various provinces and cities and different industries to manage and analyze exhibition data collected by the entire system, edit and issue special publications of CCPIT, perform annual review and outlook on China’s exhibition economy, and meanwhile build www. fair123.cn and other digital information sharing platforms. Data is the basic coordinate of exhibition management, service, decision- making and innovation, and also the solid basis for us to provide authoritative and credible public service. On the basis of scientific data collection and analysis, CCPIT has made a solid step towards the big data era of exhibition industry. We sincerely hope that the professional publications and exhibition information network built by CCPIT based on its particular organization positioning, industrial experience and network resources can provide more valuable references and help for governmental sector to manage exhibitions, public institutions to better serve exhibitions, industrial organizations to hold exhibitions, and extensive enterprises to participate in exhibitions, and expect all parties regard exhibition as a platform to set up a positively interactive bridge and commonly embrace opportunities and challenges of exhibition industry, so as to achieve cooperation and win- win result and drive the prosperity and development of world’s economy.

Over the years, the book has provided significant assistance to its users in understanding and participating in China’s economic and trade exhibitions. It has won permanent users from Economic and Commercial Office of Chinese embassies and consulates abroad, exhibition agencies and exhibition research institutes from home and abroad, trade associations, foreign embassies and consulates in China, foreign economic and trade promotion organizations and transnational enterprises. In recent years, we have further improved the accuracy and comprehensiveness of information in Fairs and Exhibitions in China by efforts of adjusting and improving the mechanism of editorial committee, integrating resources of trade promotion system and establishing the institution of exhibition information gathering, etc. which has been accepted among the readers. In editing Fairs and Exhibitions in China (2015), we continue to intensify our efforts to integrate resources, and we hope to provide more accurate and extensive information for you. I will make special instructions on the following aspects: I. Style Designing This book lists economic and trade exhibitions held in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in 2015 in detail according to the host cities. It provides the relevant detailed information of every exhibition, and supplements industry index for users’ reference. The book is in both English and Chinese. II. Efforts to Improve Accuracy The work of information collection, organization and database construction of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) has been done for nearly 20 years. The editors have gathered the information of exhibitions nationwide comprehensively relying on the networks of local and industrial sub-councils of CCPIT and through direct and extensive cooperation with exhibition organizers at home and abroad, exhibition venues and professional media of exhibitions. In 2014, CCPIT continues to improve the institution of exhibition information gathering built nationwide within the whole system so as to ensure the sustainable development of the work. Data in this book comes from local and industrial sub-councils of CCPIT, other exhibition organizers, exhibition venues and independent collection of information by domestic public media (networks and newspapers). The editors try to improve the authenticity and accuracy of information through cross-check and verification by various channels including websites, paper media, telephone and e-mail, etc.. III. Limitation and Authenticity Economic and trade exhibitions are the key component of exhibition economy as well as the type of exhibition that contribute the most to local economy. They can better represent the direction and content of exhibition economic development. Therefore, this book only includes economic and trade exhibitions while other public exhibitions of culture, art, festivals, talent market and science and technology are not included. Due to the different manners towards data publication by data providers

  • Speaking Through the Branches: the Work of Sherry Owens by Bradley Sumrall
    June 2017 Page 1 of 3 Speaking Through the Branches: The Work of Sherry Owens By Bradley Sumrall Sherry Owens, Waterhole, 2017, crepe myrtle, dye and wax, 24 x 36 x 36 inches, loan courtesy of the artist, photography by Harrison Evans Photography, Dallas, Texas The first time I walked into Sherry Owens’ studio, I was overwhelmed by the space. It was as if I had stepped into a petrified bramble, a nest of wooden bones, a temple for a tree goddess. Completely surrounded by pieces of crepe myrtle – bound, piled, whittled, waxed and stained – I felt I had stepped inside of a Sherry Owens sculpture, and I had no desire to leave. Artists through the ages have looked at a piece of wood and seen something within, something that they feel needs to be brought forth by the artist’s hand. From ancient African and Asian cultures into the New World, root carving has been practiced throughout history. In the American South, there is a strong tradition of vernacular art based in this animistic practice of exposing the spirit within the wood, including artists like Ralph Griffin, Thornton Dial, Bessie Harvey and Jesse James Aaron. “Trees is soul June 2017 Page 2 of 3 people to me,” said Bessie Harvey. “Maybe not to other people, but I have watched trees when they pray, and I have watched them shout, and sometimes, they give thanks slowly and quietly.”1 These artists approached the medium with reverence, and Owens shares that spiritual view of nature. She brings her own contemporary aesthetic, however, to the process – a post-minimalist aesthetic tied to the Texas landscape and environmental concerns.

  • Knowledge Brokers and Sustainability of Apprentice-Based Clusters

This paper uses empirical evidence from an antique furniture manufacturing cluster in Xianyou, Fujian Province, in southeastern China, to examine the growth trajectory of the knowledge learning system of an antique furniture manufacturing cluster. It appears that the apprentice-based learning system is crucial during early stages of the cluster evolution, but later becomes complemented and relatively substituted by the role of both local governments and focal outsiders. This finding addresses the context of economic transformation and provides empirical insights into knowledge acquisition in apprentice-based clusters to question the rationality based on European and North American cases, and to provide a broader perspective for policy makers to trigger and sustain the development of apprentice-based clusters.

  • Guan Xiao: Basic Logic
    www.antenna-space.com Guan Xiao: Basic Logic October 9–November 27, 2015 Opening reception: Friday, October 9, 5–7 pm The artistic motive of Guan Xiao revolves around ways of seeing affected by the digital regime of image circulation. Through which, she endeavors to expand the cognitive and aesthetic horizon of identity politics via her installation and video works. In Guan’s first solo exhibition in the Antenna Space, Basic Logic showcases works made in recent two years, including six brand new sculptures and installations, as well as a premiere of her two latest video works in mainland China. Upon entering the gallery space, the spectators will find themselves in an allure distinctively spiral, and rhythmic, put in place by Hidden Track and Action. The videos utilize the downloaded clips from various sources, choreographing the images of music players, sculptural portraits, animals and outdoor sceneries according to their shared implicit cadence. A new set of installations, entitled Documentary: From National Geographic to BBC is located at the center of the space. Behind it, the 4S Prequel, which was engendered from a similar line of thoughts. (In colloquial Chinese, 4S shop refers to the authorized car shops.) They oversee the exhibition against their camouflaged screens. The screens serve in her oeuvre as a symbolic tool for the use of anti-identification. It is also as a fashionable icon deployed as backdrop for her absurd sculptures that collages carved roots with various found objects. With a sense of anachronism, the artist has adapted this traditional Chinese root carving into her conceptual framework.

  • Unwasted Usage” Applied to Taiwanese Bamboo Workmanship Culture
    Implication of the Design Thinking of “Unwasted Usage” Applied to Taiwanese Bamboo Workmanship Culture Chuko, Cheng*, Yang, Ping-Yu**, Lin, Ying-Kuei***, Lin, Jia-Ying**** *Department of Industrial Design, Chaoyang University of Technology , e-mail address:[email protected] **Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Design, Chaoyang University of Technology, e-mail address:[email protected] ***Department of Industrial Design, Chaoyang University of Technology, e-mail address:[email protected] ****Department of Industrial Design Chaoyang University of Technology, e-mail address:[email protected] Abstract: Bamboo materials and bamboo utensils usually employed in our ancestors’ daily lives reflected a fact that bamboo workmanship was not disregarded in Taiwanese lives and cultures but observed in historical records owing to some effects of climate and environment at Taiwan. In previous bamboo-related studies, the principal investigations concentrated in workmanship, daily necessity, manufacture process, and technique mostly rather than design thinking with respect to the workmanship and utensils.In recent years, the green and environment-friendly design thinking, which helps make many materials reduced in the amount of production, recycled, and reclaimed, emerges due to eco-awareness and resource recycling.Discovered in the design source and being one original basic pattern or symbol of the green design concept, the design thinking of “unwasted usage” has its principal implication and strategic thinking to emphasize collective
