The Greater Bay Area Art Center near the Bai'etan (White Goose Pool), integrating the Guangdong Museum of Art, Guangdong Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Center, and Guangdong Literature Museum, will open to the public for free starting May 1st. To mark the opening, the Guangdong Museum of Art has planned a series of large-scale exhibitions, bringing together nearly a thousand masterpieces from home and abroad, making it the largest art exhibition in Guangdong's history.

As a significant part of the art center, the completion and opening of the Guangdong Museum of Art's Bai'etan Venue represent a milestone in the development of Guangdong's art. It will provide a better platform and broader space for high-quality art development in the region.

In a recent interview with the Yangcheng Evening News, Wang Shaoqiang, Vice Chairman of the Guangdong Artists Association and Director of the Guangdong Museum of Art, stated that since its establishment in 1997, the Guangdong Museum of Art has continuously enriched its collection, conducted historical research on Lingnan and national modern and contemporary art development, actively participated in the construction and development of Chinese contemporary art with an open attitude and a high level of academic expertise. It has also built influential contemporary art presentation and exchange platforms on an international scale.

Wang Shaoqiang believes that the opening of the Bai'etan Greater Bay Area Art Center will bring new development space and opportunities for the Guangdong Museum of Art.

In terms of its overall layout, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area boasts unique Lingnan cultural heritages, unparalleled geographical advantages, robust economic strength, and industrial foundations. Leveraging these advantages, the Bai'etan Greater Bay Area Art Center will integrate the three major venues into the urban cultural context, coexist harmoniously with the surrounding environment, and jointly create an "urban cultural and artistic salon." As one of them, the Guangdong Museum of Art is the largest diversified art center in the Greater Bay Area. Consequently, the Guangdong Museum of Art will undergo new upgrades in exhibition quality, public service concepts, and facilities to provide higher-quality services for citizens and visitors.

In terms of scale, the new venue's public service space has doubled compared to before, reaching nearly 150,000 square meters. The venue will provide a more comfortable exhibition environment for audiences. It is believed that this will better meet the growing cultural and artistic demands and the public's expectations for high-quality art exhibitions. With the expanded building area, the new venue not only gains more exhibition space but also adds more public education spaces, research spaces, and supporting facilities, making the museum's functions more comprehensive. In this way, the museum can better serve the general public and art enthusiasts.

In terms of academic positioning, today's contemporary art development presents characteristics of diversification, cross-media, digitization, and socialization. The Guangdong Museum of Art, located in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, will broaden its academic perspective, connect with the world, and accelerate the process of synchronizing with the international community.

王绍强:广东美术馆白鹅潭馆区,空前体量带来更多挑战与机遇

集广东美术馆、广东省非物质文化遗产馆、广东文学馆于一体的白鹅潭大湾区艺术中心,将于5月1日起免费向公众开放。新馆开放之际,广东美术馆策划推出系列大展,汇聚海内外近千名家名作,堪称广东历史上最大规模的美术展览。

作为艺术中心的重要组成部分,广东美术馆白鹅潭馆区的建成开馆,是广东美术发展史上具有里程碑意义的一件大事,将为广东美术事业高质量发展提供更好的平台和更广阔的空间。

近日,羊城晚报记者专访了广东省美协副主席、广东美术馆馆长王绍强。他表示,广东美术馆自1997年开馆以来一路前行,不断丰富馆藏作品资源,以专业的史学研究态度梳理岭南乃至全国近现代美术发展脉络,以开放多元的学术态度积极参与中国当代艺术的建构和发展,打造品牌展览项目,在国际视野下建构起具有影响力的当代艺术呈现与交流平台。

王绍强认为,本次白鹅潭大湾区艺术中心的落成开馆,为广东美术馆带来新的发展空间和机遇。

在格局上,粤港澳大湾区拥有独特的岭南文化底蕴、得天独厚的地理优势、雄厚的经济实力和产业基础。在这种区位优势之下,白鹅潭大湾区艺术中心将三大场馆融入城市文化脉络,与周边环境和谐共生,共同打造“城市文化艺术会客厅”。作为其中之一的广东美术馆,共同构成粤港澳大湾区体量最大的多元化艺术中心。为此广东美术馆将在展览质量、公共服务理念和设施方面进行全新的提升,为市民和游客提供更加高品质的服务。

在体量上,新馆在公共服务空间面积上比以前增加一倍,达到近15万平方米,为观众提供更加舒适的观展环境,我相信这将更好地满足日益增长的文化艺术需求和公众对高质量艺术展览的期待。通过扩大建筑面积,新馆不仅拥有了更多的展览空间,还增设了更多的公共教育空间、研究空间以及配套设施,使得美术馆的功能更加完善,能够更好地服务于广大市民和艺术爱好者。

在学术定位上,当今当代艺术发展新格局呈现出多元化、跨媒介、数字化和社交化的特点。广东美术馆立足于粤港澳大湾区,将学术定位从原有基础上进一步扩宽视野,面向海外全球,链接世界,加速与国际同步接轨的进程。
