ARTIST RESIDENCY CHINA — BEIJING, no. 18
The exhibition In Riotous Profusion — The New Possibilities of Ink Art opened at Inside Out Art Museum, Haidian, Beijing with a symposium of distinguished speakers. President Fan Di’an of China Academy of Fine Art, CAFA toured the show. The collection highlights cultural roots of ink art in China with a contemporary lineage dating to 1960s Taiwan and 1980s mainland China. Eight artists working in ink with abstract imagery are represented, all men. The female co-curator, Dr Yingchun Gong, did not attend the symposium. Speeches by curators, historians, and artists lasted two hours.
Four arts institutions contributed to the exhibition which travels in September 2015 to De Markten Gallery, Brussels, in November 2015 to Research House for Asian Art, RHAA, Chicago, and finishes in March 2016 in Ten-Po Art, Taiwan. There are many fine examples of work in the show that could not be photographed because they are displayed under glass. A catalog accompanies the show.
