Ruinart-Liu-Bolin-Eng.Pdf Ruinart x Liu Bolin Ruinart x Liu Bolin 2 3 Since its beginnings in 1729 in Reims, Ruinart, the world's first established champagne house, has never stopped developing and promoting its own unique art of living, echoing the Enlightenment period when it was founded. In a time when French philosophy and culture had great influence, the excellence of Maison Ruinart wines shone like a beacon. Very early on, the house decided to use the rare and precious chardonnay grape to produce its cuvées. Maison Ruinart Elegance, purity, know-how and enlightenment were the watchwords for the world's finest champagne house. These qualities were what ensured its success both in France and overseas, and what has nurtured its unwavering commitment to art since then. The bold decision to call upon the Czech artist Alphonse Mucha back in 1896 to create a poster that would make an immense impact at the time fits perfectly with Maison Ruinart's lasting devotion to art through its support for major international art festivals and its annual commissioning of a contemporary artist. In doing so, the house shares its heritage, history and know-how through the original and creative vision of talented artists. Maison Ruinart Ruinart x Liu Bolin Ruinart x Liu Bolin 4 5 Ruinart - 4, rue des Crayères - Reims Ruinart x Liu Bolin Ruinart x Liu Bolin 6 7 It all began during the reign of Louis XIV, when transcription systems (Latin, Greek, Arabic, Hebraic, dom Thierry Ruinart, a visionary monk and uncle of the Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic and Hindi) over a period of five founder of the house, became "Master of Art" in 1674 at months.

Dates in the life Ruinart x Liu Bolin Ruinart x Liu Bolin 10 11 It's hard to define an artist like Liu Bolin given his experience and the variation of his work. Born in 1973 in Binzhou, Shandong province south-east of Beijing, he was the youngest of many children and the only About Liu Bolin one to study art, which his father believed was a worthless pursuit. He belongs to the generation of artists whose creations are intertwined with a changing China.

More recently still, his attention has protest which became the first photograph in the series been focused on financial power, ecology, and the entitled Hiding in the City. On this image, which is use of resources. "He composes images that initially a combination of sculpture, painting and photography attract, then surprise and worry, and end up remaining as much as performance, Liu Bolin literally vanishes in etched on his audience's memories." He has created a front of the houses that are slated for destruction, his unique art form which has a rarely seen impact and body and clothes covered in garments that blend into is perfectly aligned with the world we are living in the background. His art of camouflage is particularly right now", explains Philippe Dagen. We are now subtle and only hints at the artist's presence. "A still seeing more and more new protagonists appear in his life in trompe-l’oeil suggests that there is something compositions, which brings a collective dimension that real there, when in fact there is nothing."

Ze worden internationaal geprezen. Vertrekkende vanuit het Chinese voobeeld plaatsen ze al meer dan twee decennia vraagtekens bij de positie van de mens in de hedendaagse samenleving om zo tot een universeel standpunt te komen. Hun eerste belangrijke installatie in een reeks van gewaagde werken was te zien op “China/Avant-Garde” (National Gallery of Beijing) in 1989. Deze tentoonstelling was van grote betekenis voor de Chinese hedendaagse kunst. Hun sociale en artistieke betrokkenheid tijdens de demonstraties op het Tiananmen-plein kostte hen hun paspoort gedurende meerdere jaren. De Gao Brothers hebben inderdaad een aandeel in de kritische getuigenissen op de Chinese samenleving. Dit uiten ze in hun kunst via verscheidene media zoals fotografie, video, schilder- en beeldhouwkunst, theater, performances, kritische essays en zelfs via hun rol als curatoren en het organiseren van tentoonstellingen met andere artiesten. De Culturele Revolutie (1966-1976) had tragische gevolgen voor hun familie. Ze streven dan ook naar een grotere vrijheid van meningsuiting. Dit is het zichtbaarst in hun reeks politieke schilderijen en sculpturen, zoals de groteske Miss Mao of de Executie van Christus door een Mao Zedong regiment.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: the ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE ANTI-CONFUCIAN CAMPAIGN DURING THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION, AUGUST 1966-JANUARY 1967 Zehao Zhou, Doctor of Philosophy, 2011 Directed By: Professor James Gao, Department of History This dissertation examines the attacks on the Three Kong Sites (Confucius Temple, Confucius Mansion, Confucius Cemetery) in Confucius’s birthplace Qufu, Shandong Province at the start of the Cultural Revolution. During the height of the campaign against the Four Olds in August 1966, Qufu’s local Red Guards attempted to raid the Three Kong Sites but failed. In November 1966, Beijing Red Guards came to Qufu and succeeded in attacking the Three Kong Sites and leveling Confucius’s tomb. In January 1967, Qufu peasants thoroughly plundered the Confucius Cemetery for buried treasures. This case study takes into consideration all related participants and circumstances and explores the complicated events that interwove dictatorship with anarchy, physical violence with ideological abuse, party conspiracy with mass mobilization, cultural destruction with revolutionary indo ctrination, ideological vandalism with acquisitive vandalism, and state violence with popular violence. This study argues that the violence against the Three Kong Sites was not a typical episode of the campaign against the Four Olds with outside Red Guards as the principal actors but a complex process involving multiple players, intraparty strife, Red Guard factionalism, bureaucratic plight, peasant opportunism, social ecology, and ever- evolving state-society relations. This study also maintains that Qufu locals’ initial protection of the Three Kong Sites and resistance to the Red Guards were driven more by their bureaucratic obligations and self-interest rather than by their pride in their cultural heritage.
