How can we connect with the audience and create cultural experience in the post-pandemic era? This question is extremely important for the sustainable operations of art and culture centers, organizations, and groups as well as individual artists. The talk will discuss how art and culture centers satisfy the public’s needs for art, learning, and recreation in the post-Covid era by taking Kaohsiung as an example, to look at how art and culture centers connect with locals outside of performances and how they comprehensively make themselves into local anchor points and establish a sense of identity with people to generate a symbiotic relationship between the art ecosystem and the public, spurring local development and benefiting the community as much as possible.

About this Lecture

The size of the art market has expanded significantly over the past decades, apart from their aesthetic purposes, art objects are increasingly regarded as investments. However, due to its highly unregulated nature, the art market is notorious for giving rise to various legal issues and disputes. This lecture aims to provide a general overview of major legal disputes related to art, including the sale and purchase of art, ownership disputes, authenticity disputes, and intellectual property rights. Further, the lecture will address the rise of digital art and its legal implications.

About the Lecture:

This lecture examines the history and role of museum and court collections in defining and representing ideas of power and nationhood. Beginning with a history and analysis of court art collections in Europe and Asia, the formation, contents and functions of collections such as those of the Medici princes and the Qianlong court will be considered from the perspective of audiences and viewers. The lecture then considers the development of government spaces that were open to the public by design, in the form of national museums that first emerged in Britain in the 18th century, alongside Enlightenment ideas about knowledge and public education. The important role such museums played and continue to play in defining national identities will be explored, revealing the often tangled politics of display and representation in the museum space.

Taking the middle way.

Early exhibitions of modern Chinese painting organised in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s

Date：14 January 2019 (Mon)

Time：1:30pm – 3:15pm

Venue：C5, T.C. Cheng Building, CUHK

Medium：English

The talk will introduce the first exhibitions of modern Chinese paintings in Europe, which were organised between the mid-1920s and the mid-1930s by Chinese artists settled in Europe, Chinese teachers and reformists Liu Haisu and Xu Beihong, and the Czech collector Vojtěch Chytil. During less than a decade, many European cultural centres in more than ten countries saw a large selection of modern Chinese ink painting and in a number of places, the exhibitions became a starting point of the subsequent formation of museum collections of this material. The talk will discuss both, the strategies of the organisers of these shows, and the impact on local art scenes and public collections. A comparison of different types of these exhibition projects will bring to light specific aspects of the official exhibitions organised by Liu Haisu and Xu Beihong, as well as those put together by the private collector Vojtěch Chytil.

A piece of China in Prague.

The Czech painter, teacher and collector Vojtěch Chytil and his collection of modern Chinese painting in the 1920s and 1930s

Date：17 January 2019 (Thur)

Time：5:30pm – 7:00pm

Venue：Lecture Theatre 4, Cheng Yu Tung Building, CUHK

Medium：English

Vojtěch Chytil belonged to the European enthusiasts, who traveled to the Far East in the inter-war period, settled in China and became enamoured with her culture and art. Being an artist himself, Chytil had a unique position among European lovers of Chinese art. During his tenure at the Beijing Art College in the 1920s, he befriended artists such as Qi Baishi, Chen Banding, and Xiao Sun, and subsequently formed one of the largest collections of their paintings in his time. He took his collection to Europe and showed it in more than twenty European capitals and cultural centres. The talk will discuss the unique situation that lead to the formation of Chytil’s collection, some of the most important artworks in his collection and its legacy after Chytil’s premature death in 1936. It will be lavishly illustrated with the masterpieces from the holdings of the National Gallery in Prague, as well as with old photographs and archival materials from a number of public and private collections.

About Michaela Pejčochová (貝米莎)

Michaela Pejčochová (貝米莎) is a Czech scholar specialising in Chinese art and the theory of art in China. She has been working as a curator of the Chinese art collections at the National Gallery in Prague for almost 20 years and has published its unique collection of modern Chinese ink painting in 2008 as Masters of the 20th-Century Chinese Ink Painting from the Collections of the National Gallery in Prague. Most recently, she has completed a monograph focused on the activities of the Czech painter and collector Vojtěch Chytil (1896-1936), where his collection of Chinese, Japanese and Tibetan art is analysed in the context of the inter-war period collecting of Asian art in Europe. Besides modern Chinese art, she has published widely also on old Chinese painting and the theories of Chinese painting of the Song and Ming dynasties.

Date: 14 January 2019 (Mon) - 17 January 2019 (Thu)

Arts are for everyone. To have an inclusive art scene, it is easier said than done.

Ask in another perspective: Divergences of opinion seem to appear on the path of creation. When beliefs and thoughts are put down; When “artist” identity is being challenged. Is it time to step back and re-examine “art”?

To understand the exhibition more as well as the stories behind the scene, a tertiary institution talk series on “Museum and Architectural Lighting” has been presented by K11 Art Foundation and the BA Programme in Cultural Management to talk about basic lighting design as well as offering insights on how lights are integrated into museums and other architectural settings. Students are also invited to join a professional-led guided tour to exhibition venue at Victoria Dockside, a brand-new cultural landmark in the city, to learn about the various lighting techniques applied on-site. For students who are interested in the talk or the guided tour, please register here: https://goo.gl/dDPJrV. For more details, please find the information and poster below. Thank you.

Tertiary Institution Talk Series

Date      :               3 April 2019 (Wed)

Time      :               16:30 – 18:00

Venue  :               Lecture Theatre 6, Yasumoto International Academic Park, CUHK

Content:              Space planning is not just about how things are laid out and decorated. A designer must also consider lighting in order to enhance the functions of the space and create visual effects or mood. Hosted by lighting experts from ERCO Lighting, this talk will show you the basics of lighting design, offering insights into how lights are integrated into museums and other architectural settings.

Exhibition Guided Tour

Date     :           6 April 2019 (Sat)

Time     :           11:00 – 13:00

Venue  :           21/F, K11 Atelier, Victoria Dockside, 18 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong

About the exhibition “Glow Like That”

Light is not only a natural phenomenon but also a product of technological advancement. It is an empty signifier awaiting a narrative; it is undefined, fuzzy at the edges. Fluid and amorphous, light therefore has endless possibilities. When interacting with light, certain kinds of surfaces take on an iridescent sheen or reflect their surroundings, producing a shimmering or radiant “glow”. Presented by K11 Art Foundation as the first contemporary art exhibition held in Victoria Dockside, Glow Like That features 16 artists and collectives from countries including China, the US, and Japan, showcasing an impressive array of paintings, video works, sculptures, and installations. While some of the works demonstrate the various forms of “glow” characteristic of this light-saturated era, others reveal their functions and symbolic significances in contemporary society.

Brimming with beautiful imagery associated with light, Glow Like That also echoes the spectacular harbour view that the exhibition space overlooks. From the vantage point of Glow Like That in Victoria Dockside, visitors will feast on the opulence of the gleam and glimmer of the city. The glistering waves of the harbour and the exhibition shine a light on each other, bolstering one another’s splendour and sparking ruminations on the relationship between light and everyday life.

粵劇和粵曲是香港的傳統演出藝術，比任何其他演藝形式有更悠長的歷史，也有更蓬勃的發展。時至本世紀初，估計香港平均每年有一千場以上的粵劇、粵曲演出。會堂、戲院、戲棚之外，粵劇、粵曲的演出也見於不同的場合，包括大學、中學和小學、街頭、公園、歌壇、粵曲社唱局、電台廣播、電視節目，以至網上平台，均在不同程度上反映香港文化的面貌。

本講座簡要講解：神功粵劇與民間宗教和世俗活動；街頭粵曲、歌壇和粵曲社活動；不同的政府單位如何推動粵劇和粵曲的發展；大、中、小學裏的粵劇、粵曲活動；流行曲、電視劇和電影等藝術和娛樂形式如何接受粵劇、粵曲的影響；香港人日常語言中使用的粵劇、粵曲術語；不同年齡和社會界別的香港市民如何看待粵劇和粵曲。

On the small isle of Tap Mun, the ocean breeze gently lifts up strands of grey hair on Lai Lin-shau’s head. He quietly sings in the characteristic tones of the fisherman’s ballads: Anchor large boats at the tip of To Nin, a sampan sends the lover to Sai See Island.....”. The melody alters with his moods and, seemingly without rules, the pitch and tones alternate and repeat themselves as if they were synchronising with the ocean waves. The lyrics of these ballads tell the stories of the trials and tribulations of the life of the fisherman. The Lai family had, for generations, fished for a living in the waters of Tap Mun, their ballads are passed down from one generation to the next, but the songs are finding fewer and fewer listeners today. Born before WWII, Mr. Lai has been wed to his wife for over 60 years. He is one of the few people alive who knows the fisherman’s ballads intimately. None of his children followed the ancestral path of a fisherman, and none experienced the harsh and unforgiving life at sea. They are not even aware of his singular and priceless knowledge of the ballads.

The deeply tanned skin with a whiff of sea salt coming off their bodies are the distinctive signs of an ex-fisherman to the city dwellers. As the fishing community shrinks, they found new ways of life on land. One performs and teaches the ballads to young children; another uses the ballads to spread her Christian faith. The ballads have become a spiritual harbour for these landed fishermen and appear to offer solace and certain selective nostalgia to a life of hardship. These ballads were once part of the nautical landscape of Tap Mun and as the memories of the fishermen’s past lives fade, the words and melodies have come ashore bringing spiritual serenity to those who would hear the songs of the sea.
