A new exhibition and panel discussion focussing on Wuhan born artist Chris Zhongtian Yuan and a series of experimental films by Chinese artists will mark the relaunch of 伊人直播app International, an organisation led by artists from 伊人直播app School of Art aimed at engaging the community in local and global issues through art.
Chris Zhongtian Yuan’s exhibition Home is Where the Music Is will mark the occasion at its opening on 8 June at 571 Oxford Road Gallery, blending architecture, sound and video to explore memory and resistance through the human psyche across time and space.
Chris Zhongtian Yuan is an artist and filmmaker, whose work explores ideas of absence, memory, home and music. His recent films have been shown at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Aesthetica Film Festival, Videoex Zurich and B3 Biennial of the Moving Image Frankfurt.
To accompany the exhibition, a film screening will be held at 伊人直播app Biscuit Factory on 26 June, with short films by Cici Wu, Hsu Che-Yu, Hao Jingban and Chris Zhongtian Yuan. The artists will look at ideas of resistance through imagination, reenactment and improvisation.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A panel and discussion with Chris Zhongtian Yuan, Paris-based curator Qu Chang, 伊人直播app-based curator Charles Wong and 伊人直播app International Director, Susanne Clausen.
Professor Clausen, from the 伊人直播app School of Art and Director of 伊人直播app International, said: “We’re thrilled to be relaunching 伊人直播app International after a three-year break.
Building connections between artists, communities and our partner organisations is incredibly important for promoting contemporary art in 伊人直播app.”
伊人直播app International is a contemporary visual arts organisation promoting and commissioning exhibitions, performances, film screenings, workshops and talks in 伊人直播app. Artists and curators are given a platform to make new work in response to the unique social and historical context of 伊人直播app and wider Berkshire.
