| [Nettime-ro] Through popular expression/ friday 19h00 / MNAC |
Through popular expression 19 octombrie - 19 noiembrie, 2006 Vernisaj: 19 octombrie, 19h00 - 21h00/ MNAC, Calea 13 septembrie Artisti: Cao Fei, Jun Yang, Xu Tan, Xu Zhen, MAP office (Gutierrez + Portefaix), Zheng Guogu, Zhang Yuan. Curatori: Hu Fang si Zhang Wei Curator invitat: Simona Nastac Scroll down for english In februarie 2006, Vitamin Creative Space din Guangzhou (China) a initiat proiectul numit Prin expresia populara, expus pina in prezent in trei orase europene (Het Domein Museum, Sittard, Olanda, International Project Space of the University of Central England din Birmingham / UCE, galeria plan b din Cluj) si la Bienala de la Singapore 2006. Proiectul investigheaza aspecte ale tranzitiei globale in China contemporana, de la ideologia politica "a poporului" la notiunea consumista de "masa", de la metafora "oceanului de oameni" la democratia de piata. Dezvoltarea economica recenta si cresterea rapida a productiei de bunuri exportate pe piata mondiala au transformat China intr-un loc in care orase noi se suprapun celor vechi, fuzionind in metropole moderne; un loc unde internetul si proiectia mass media a politicilor globale submineaza vechile traditii si cenzura, iar discursul omniprezent al "Superputerii" modifica relatii umane si identitati. In conjunctie cu acest peisaj social spectacular, apar schimbari esentiale de conceptie si perceptie a timpului, a spatiului public si privat, a modalitatilor de auto-reprezentare si comunicare, a autenticitatii si valorii, care reflecta cautarea colectiva a sensului intr-un spatiu al experientei sociale si estetice de tip nou. Lucrarile din expozitie abordeaza in mod diferit manifestarile expresiei populare si extensiile sale ideologice, incercînd sa identifice, dincolo de suprafata lucioasa a exploziei economice din China, noi moduri de a fi si noi forme de vizibilitate intr-un spatiu din ce in ce mai mult al maselor. ...................................... In February 2006, the Vitamin Creative Space in Guangzhou launched Through Popular Expression, an exhibition project that has travelled to three European cities (Het Domein Museum, Sittard, Holland, International Project Space of the University of Central England in Birmingham / UCE, plan b gallery in Cluj) and to the Singapore Biennial 2006. The project explores global transitions in contemporary China: from the political ideology of "the people" to the consumerist notion of "the masses", from "the ocean of the people" to "mass market". The recent economic development and rapid growth of the Chinese production industry have transformed the contemporary People's Republic of China into a place where existing and new cities are mushrooming into modern metropolises, where the Internet and mass media projection of global politics are undermining the old tradition and censorship, and where the all-pervading `Superpower' discourse is shifting human relationships and identities. Related to this spectacular social landscape are changing conceptions of time, space, self-representation, privacy, communication, values and authenticity, which reveal the collective searching for meaning in a space of a new type of social and aesthetic experiences. The works in the exhibition deal in different ways with popular expressions and ideologies of our time, seeking to identify, behind the glossy economic boom of China, new modes of being and forms of visibility within the gradually more extended space of "the people". ............................................
