| "We study hard for the Revolution" | |
| The Amplificare programme is
designed to bring visitors to the CCCS closer to Chinese culture by
introducing them to the history and the different political changes
that the country has lived through. Starting from the works of art
present in the exhibition, and with the help of various contemporary
Chinese literary texts, we shall attempt to trace out a profile of
this immense country aimed at a deeper understanding of the complex
situation that currently characterises China. Through the exhibition itinerary visitors will have the chance to gain insight into the fundamental issues affecting the Chinese political and cultural sphere, and to reflect on the role that contemporary artists play within it. |
|
| Suggested readings | |
| This activity proposes dialogue encounters which, starting from the reading of the works in the show, bring into play various key themes of contemporary Chinese culture and analyse them from a western viewpoint. After an introduction designed to help place the work in its context, we propose an analysis with the aid of factsheets and texts, involving the public directly. | |
| Proposal 1 Yang Fudong and Pak
Sheung Chuen The condition of the Chinese artist: existential dynamics, the relationship with tradition and the comparison between eastern and western models |
|
| Proposal 2 Cao Fei The idea of Self and identity in virtual worlds |
|
| Proposal 3 Chu Yun A reflection on the role that the new technologies play now in our daily lives |
|
| POSSIBLE FUTURES – Workshop (age 11 and over) | |
Many of the works present at the show
are based on the principle of the assembly of images and symbols,
which the artists recombine to create new iconographic worlds. The
workshop is intended to stimulate the imagination of the public
through a creative activity, proposing a meditation on different
utopias for a possible future. The participants will be given various
materials, such as photos and cuttings, which will then be re-elaborated
together in the form of collage or drawing. |
