Introduction of The 3nd CAA International Printmaking Triennial
第三届CAA国际版画三年展介绍
In essence, no matter it is "printing as technology" in the past or "printing as art" today, the origin of printmaking -- its "essential source" is "printing". We should think about the relationship between print and The Times from this perspective: art must be combined with new technology and form a new language, so as to adapt to the new changes of human feeling in the new era and our new perception of the world.
本质上，无论是过去的“作为技术的印刷”，还是今天的“作为艺术的印刷”，在版画的本源——其“本质之源”是为“印刷”。我们应该在这样的视阈之下思考版画与时代的关系：艺术必须和新技术相结合并形成新的语言，进而适应新时代人类感觉的新变化，以及我们对于世界的新的感知方式。

◉ Exhibition of the “China Translated “is opening!
Curator: Dr. Llewellyn Negrin
There has been a longstanding fascination with Chinese culture in the West. This reached a crescendo during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries when large numbers of artefacts from China including porcelain, textiles, wallpapers and furniture began to be imported into Europe. While very few Europeans up until this time had experienced China first hand, ever since the publication of The Travels of Marco Polo in the early fourteenth century, there had developed an abiding conception in the European imagination of China (or Cathay as it was then known) as an exotic, remote country fabled for its dazzling riches that was swathed in mystery.
This fascination with all things Chinese spurred many European designers and craftsmen in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to emulate the designs found on the imported Chinese artefacts, giving rise to a style that came to be known as chinoiserie. However, while Europeans were intrigued by the alien beauty of Chinese-styled artefacts, at the same time, this infatuation largely reproduced rather than challenged stereotypical views of China as an exotic and strange land. With chinoiserie, the enigmatic otherness of Chinese culture was perpetuated while also being made more palatable for European consumers.
Western artists encountering Chinese culture today, do so under very different circumstances than their seventeenth and eighteenth century counterparts. Less a country shrouded in mystery, Westerners now have a greater understanding of China’s long and varied cultural traditions and systems of belief. This exhibition focuses on the work of a number of Tasmanian artists who have engaged with aspects of Chinese culture, and who, through such an encounter, have created works productive of new insights into their own culture as well as into contemporary issues more broadly.
Some of these artists have revisited seventeenth and eighteenth chinoiserie, referencing ceramic, textile and wallpaper patterns from this tradition to reflect on the nature of cultural transmission and displacement more generally. Others have drawn on Chinese traditions of calligraphy and paper cutting, transposing these into a new context to address issues of contemporary relevance such as our relationship with nature, war, the dangers of mass data surveillance and consumerism.
Also included in this dialogue between Tasmanian artists and Chinese culture is the work of artists of Chinese origin now living in Tasmania. While approaching Chinese culture from a different perspective than their non-Chinese counterparts, they are equally involved in the process of re-interpreting Chinese culture in the different context in which they find themselves. Borrowing motifs and craft techniques derived from Chinese culture, they employ these as avenues to negotiate a new relationship with their adopted culture.
In all cases then, the artists are involved in a process of translation whereby aspects of Chinese culture are given a new voice in a situation very different from their original context. As this exhibition makes clear, ‘translation’ is never about capturing the ‘original’ or ‘authentic’ meaning of another culture but always inevitably involves a transformation of meaning in the new context. The issue is how can such processes be productive of new insights rather than reproducing traditional stereotypes and preconceived assumptions.

Ningbo was call Mingzhou in ancient times, and was named Ningbo for the first time in the 14th year of Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty (1381 A.D.) according to the connotation of the old saying of "The Peaceful the Sea is, the Calm Her Waves Would Be". As an important port of the Maritime Silk Road, Ningbo has historically been a major trading partner of Japan and South Korea. Ceramic art is one of great creations of China. With the advantage of geographical location, the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Archipelago inherited China's creation, firing skill and development of ceramic art, and opened a new chapter in terms of imitation and exchange of Yuezhou kilns and Longquan kilns, making Ningbo an important transit port.
Since modern times, the ceramic art of China, Japan and South Korea has formed their own shape and appearance, and each has had a far-reaching impact on the development of ceramic art in the world. Thanks to the development and progress made in more than 40 years of reform and opening up, Chinese contemporary ceramic art has gradually become an important force in the field of contemporary ceramic art in the world.

About the artist
张曦月
In this fantastical world, everyone enters a process that repeats itself over and over again. In a world of infinite exposure and infinite acceptance. Some people have a huge diamond growing on their left side of the face, some people are making love with their armpits... Keep looking, hopes and ideals are like a disaster, I don't know how to put them in time. My soul covets my loneliness, it's my only remaining, elusive thought that makes my spirit flourish.
在这个奇幻的世界里，每个人都进入了一个循环反复的过程。在一个无限暴露，又无限被接纳的世界里。有的人左侧的脸上长了一颗巨大的钻石，有的人在用腋窝做爱…继续寻找，希望和理想如同一场灾难，我不知到如何把他们放到时间当中去。我的灵魂垂涎于我的孤独，是我那仅存的，又不可告人的想法，使我的精神繁荣。

Exhibition duration: March 18,2023 - April 16, 2023
Address:No. 218 Nanshan Road, the art museum of China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
Hangzhou, capital city of Zhejiang province, East China, was the political, economic and cultural center more than 800 years ago, when it served as the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279).
A gathering of prominent intellectuals, scholars, artists and luminaries in other fields elevated the city's culture and art to a new peak, casting a long-standing influence in Chinese history that has lasted to present day.
To mark this booming scene, five exhibitions opened at the art museum of China Academy of Art in Hangzhou on Saturday. Paintings and calligraphic pieces from different periods of time are now on show to showcase the Song era to audiences, and to help them understand how Chinese cultural traditions have been passed on throughout centuries.
The center exhibition of the five is Embrace the Landscape, which brings together 37 classic paintings — 10 of them dated to Song Dynasty (960-1279) — loaned from major museums across the country, including the Palace Museum in Beijing, Tianjin Museum and Zhejiang Provincial Museum. It provides an enactment of the landscapes and social and cultural lives led by people in Southern Song, in Hangzhou, then called Lin'an, and neighboring areas in Jiangnan, a term referring to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Through these objects one will also see the cultural lineage that has been passed on since the Tang Dynasty (618-906) and has been further developed by the elite communities in Song, and how their accomplishments continued to guide and inspire artists in the following dynasties.
Another two exhibitions survey the art of Huang Binhong and Pan Tianshou, respectively, two leading artists of modern China who in their lifetime carried in-depth research of Song art and reformed the face of Chinese ink art to usher it into a new stage of time.

The 2024 Tasmania Artists Residency Project in Huangshan City of China (TARP) is a non-profit cultural exchange program aimed at building friendly, cultural and artistic activities and relationships with Chinese and Australian artists. The project has been initiated by the Contemporary Chinese-Australian Art Association (CCATInc) and jointly planned and organized by Yongsheng Culture and Art Development Co., Ltd. (YCAD) in Huangshan City, Anhui Province, China. It has received support from the School of Creative Arts and Media of the University of Tasmania, Contemporary Art Tasmania, and Moonah Arts Centre. The project has been delayed due to the pandemic and is open to Tasmanian artists for the first time this year with plans to offer an ongoing annual residency. A selected artist will have the opportunity to undertake the residency once a year.
In order to promote artistic exchange and cultural interaction between China and Australia, the project aims to facilitate cultural and artistic exchange visits between Chinese and Tasmanian artists. Through short-term or medium-term residencies artists will make works and explore the influence of different cultural atmospheres and geographical environments. Participants will gain inspiration and use their artistic knowledge and skills to create and express insights through artistic forms.
CCATInc uses its own cultural connections in China to provide international art and culture researchers with access to China’s traditional cultural resources and local regional characteristics of Chinese culture. CCATInc will provide support for Tasmanian artists who are interested in Chinese culture and art to conduct in-depth research on Chinese culture. They will provide art studios and other facilities and equipment for successful Tasmanian artists during their residency in China, connecting them with Chinese traditional culture, language translation, etc., and ensuring the personal insurance and safety of resident artists such as airport pick-up and drop-off.
