On November 12th, the 8th Anniversary Exhibition of Da Xin Art Museum opened in Guangzhou. Over 200 participants, including artists from more than 100 cross-strait schools and institutions, Guangzhou's Taiwan-funded enterprise association, representatives from enterprises funded by Chinese Taiwan, and youth from Taiwan Province, attended the opening ceremony.
This anniversary exhibition, showcasing nearly a thousand pieces within the Da Xin Cultural and Creative Area, introduces 35 exquisite works by 22 artists from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The exhibition runs until February 28, 2024.
Among the highlighted works is "Fan'an Wu", a mixed-media creation by Lu Mingde, the Dean of the College of Arts at National Kaohsiung Normal University in Taiwan Province. Lu Mingde has engaged in artistic exchanges and creations in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and other places over three decades ago. He mentioned that there is also a branch of the Da Xin Art Museum in Tainan Province, and they were invited to come to Guangzhou for artistic creation and exchange. Lu revealed that during his visit to Guangzhou, besides engaging in the creation of artworks, he also had discussions with the Guangzhou Sculpture Society, addressing topics such as art education. From Lu's perspective, the Da Xin Art Museum serves as a platform for artistic exchange between artists from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In response to this, Sui Cheng, the curator and a professor at Shenzhen University, expressed that there are cultural differences between the two sides. However, by utilizing the platform provided by the Da Xin Art Museum, young artists from both sides can exchange views on art and artistic philosophies, promoting mutual understanding between the two sides.
Wang Qingxiang, President of the Guangzhou Taiwan Enterprise Association and founder of the Da Xin Art Museum, shared in an interview that since the establishment of the museum in 2016, young artists from Chinese Taiwan and Chinese Mainland have engaged in intellectual and artistic collisions and exchanges, developing friendships. Wang expressed the hope for frequent interactions, allowing not only artists from Taiwan Province to showcase their work in the Chinese mainland but also encouraging more Chinese mainland young artists to visit Taiwan Province. Ultimately, he envisions the Da Xin Art Museums in Guangzhou and Tainan becoming vital platforms to connect cross-strait artistic cultures, thus facilitating continuous exchange between young artists from both sides.
2023年度两岸艺术交流展在广州举办
11月12日,“2023温度·承前启后大新美术馆八年度展”开幕。来自两岸100余家院校、机构的艺术家,广州市、区台资企业协会以及台资企业、台青代表共200余人参加当天开幕式。
据了解,本届年度展除展出大新文创景区近千件展品外,还新展出22名两岸艺术家创作的35件精品力作,展期到2024年2月28日。
记者在现场了解到,此次展览展出的两幅复合媒材作品《翻案屋》,由台湾高雄师范大学艺术学院院长卢明德今年创作。他表示,30多年前他就曾到北京、上海、香港等地进行艺术交流与创作。“在台南也有一个大新美术馆,我们应邀来到这里,进行艺术创作和交流。”卢明德透露,此次来到广州,除了进行作品的创作,他还与广州雕塑学会进行了交流,谈及艺术教育等内容。在卢明德看来,大新美术馆为两岸艺术家的交流提供了平台。对此,策展人、深圳大学教授隋丞表示,两岸的文化背景有所差异,借助大新美术馆的平台,两岸的艺术青年在艺术观、艺术理念上有所交流,促进了双方相互间的了解与认识。
广州市台资企业协会会长、大新美术馆创办人王庆祥在接受记者采访时表示:“从2016年设立大新美术馆开始,就不断有台湾的青年艺术家来到这里,后来大陆的青年艺术家也来了。他们在这里进行思想与艺术的碰撞与交流,然后成为朋友。”在王庆祥看来,两岸艺术家通过艺术创作,常来常往,能够更加了解对方和对方所在的城市。“我们希望,交流和参展不仅让台湾艺术家走出去,也能让更多的大陆青年艺术家到台湾来,让双向互动常态化。让广州与台南的大新美术馆真正成为链接两岸艺术文化的重要平台,让两岸的青年艺术家能够多多来往。”
