Exhibition theme: Re-see
In a certain sense, art calls on people to “re-see” constantly. The masterpieces of art in the museum attract generation to generation of viewers to appreciate and taste them again and again. They are mirrors for people understanding the past. For artists, artistic creation is also some kind of “re-see”. Learn mature art skills and integrate them into your own creation; get creative inspiration from the works of previous art masters; transform your personal experience, memory, etc. into artworks; express your personal reflection about history, present, and future in an artistic language… Of course, there are many ways to “re-see”.
For artists, to “re-see” doesn’t mean to follow the old rules. They often propose new readings and interpretations in the current cultural context. If there are no old things, how can the new things come. If one doesn’t know the “old”, how can he/she discover the “new”. “Re-see” is to look back, but also to start off; it is about looking at the past, but more about looking into the future with new dimensions and perspectives.
