Lian Cheng Jue-Visual Creativity in New Urban
“Lian Cheng Jue-Visual Creativity in New Urban” is opening on 2nd
Dec, 2006 at Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art. It is
presented by Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art and China
Central Academy of Fine Arts. Centered around city of Shanghai,
the exhibition meanders through a series of experiences: from
Nongtang culture, Shanghai style, materialism and petit bourgeois
sentiment. As the exhibition proceeds, the boundary of Shanghai
becomes blurred to include social realities common in cities all over
the world: anxiety, insatiable desire, maddening pace of life, moving
from one city to another with neither start nor ending, doubt in
self-identity, economic and cultural aggression, apathy in reality and
pursuit of virtual existence, uncertainty towards happiness. The
exhibition returns to the realm of the heart, where resides longing
for nature and harmony, spiritual exploration of the soul, the need
for communication, courage against the authority and tradition, and
turning private experiences public.
This exhibition is the first curated by the M.A. class in art
management and administration (Shanghai) at the China Central
Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA). Since 11th Nov, 2005, CAFA and
Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art (Zendai MOMA) joined
forces to establish a training ground for art management and
administration to train the next generation of art management experts
for local and international art world. After its first year, the students
will present to us their outstand results.
What secrets are hidden in the city? What’s treasures are buried in
the city? What conspiracies are in the city?
We don’t provide the answers.
The answer is right next to us. “Lian Cheng Jue” can be a tunnel that
links up all cities. But the one leading to the true answer in your heart
is right in front of you.
