6th International Beijing Biennale Memory and Dreams
24/09/2015 - 15/10/2015
The theme of the Sixth Beijing Biennale is “Memory and Dream”. The memory is the inscription of the history on people’s hearts; it should be the treasure house of the spirit and space to be explored by art. Every nation in the world has their unique historical and cultural memory. The time-honored historical and cultural memory of the Chinese nation is as rich and precious as that of other nations in the world. All nations can communicate with each other and share their unique soul experience and fragrance of the spirit. Dreams are beautiful ideals of people, hopes which could put an end to disasters, visions for pursuing happiness and goals which call for relentless efforts. People in every country in the world have their own dreams. It is a shared dream to achieve peaceful development and live in world of win-win cooperation between different countries in the world. The dream stimulates the vitality of us all to create miracles and a bright future.
Memories and dreams link up the history and the reality, connect the past with the future, and could be best placed to reflect the humanistic care of artists, arouse their passion to paint and inspire artists’ aesthetic imagination, so that art works can be as lasting as memories and as magical as dreams.
Landscape in a storm Homage to El Greco
22/06/2014 - 20/7/2014
With the occasion of El Greco's 400th death anniversary, thirty two artists and a writer participate in a tribute to the memory of the great Cretan painter at the Titanium Gallery in Athens, Greece. The size (121x109cm) of Greco's painting "Todelo in a storm", is the only restriction placed upon the artists who attempt to revive the work's atmosphere; the artists remain faithful to the work's general problematic without being limited to a mere recreation of the original's style, writing and meaning. They experiment with plastic escapes and attempt to bring the topic to the current status quo, thus serving the theme and title of an exhibition that pays a tribute to the great Greek artist.
