Top 15 art exhibitions in Guangzhou during late June and early July

Glimmer: Liu Chenyang Solo Exhibition held in Guangzhou

Exhibition Duration: 2017. 06. 24 — 2017. 08. 07

Open Hours: 11:00 - 20:00

Venue: Kui Yuan Gallery, No.9, Xuguyuan Road,Yuexiu District, Guangzhou

Nearby metro station: Dongshankou, Line 1 or 6

Liu Chenyang often depicts female images in her works, which come with unrealistic scenes and lights and shadows. In her painting, as if those female images were moving away to far distance, and also as if they have always been living in the images she created. In this absolute vacuum and painterly space, everything is clear, and everything is unknown. She particularly wants to express through her paintings the mysterious and ritualistic beauty of modern women, and wishes that the women in her works are full of strength and courage against the intimidating force of fate, showing no weakness and fragility.


“Come Away With Me” Solo exhibition of Hong Bao held in Guangzhou

Exhibition Duration: 2017. 6. 10 — 7. 21

Open Hours: 10:30 - 19:00

Venue: Fan House, Fl. 1&2, East Podium Building, The Westin Pazhou, Guangzhou (广州琶洲广交会威斯汀酒店东裙楼1、2层 生活艺术空间)

Nearby metro station: Pazhou, Line 8

In recent works, Hong Bao juxtaposes the disconnected metropolitan living with the invigorating natural liveliness, addressing her longingness for the ideal world. Under the moonlight, she employs an extensive cast of characters and objects, such as fish, butterflies, unicorns, peacocks, elephants, swans, chandeliers, and a girl in red, to create an open-ended narrative that offers alternative fantasy for the viewers.


Into the Scenery, Out of the Settled—Two Solo Exhibitions of Ruijun Shen and Ying Zhuo

Exhibition Duration: 2017.6.18 — 8.31

Opening Hours: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Venue: 33 Contemporary Art Center, 33/F, Tower A, Victory Plaza, 103 Tiyu West Road, Guangzhou (33当代艺术中心,广州天河区体育西路103号维多利广场A塔33楼3301)

Nearby metro station: Tiyuxi, Line 1 or 3

While feeling and viewing “Into the Scenery” and “Out of the settled”, something like the “différance” termed by Jacques Derrida is happening. Difference and deferral, the Siamese twins almost impossible to be seized, somehow havs been caught by the artist. In différance, we have escaped from the established situation, in the meanwhile the undetected becomes the undeveloped.

Into the Scenery, one might see something different from the settled; Out of the Settled, one might think of something changeable.


To Be Not To Be: Xu Weibo’s Inkarts exhibited in Guangzhou

Duration: June 11-July 28,2017

The exhibits include some traditional ink paintings which address contemporary issues, and some installations and even a performance, which forms show a distinct contemporary atmosphere. On the opening day, there will be an ink art performance To Be Not To Be given by the curator Ion Yen and the artist Xu Weibo together.

As a young artist living and working in Guangzhou, Xu has drawn attention from some collectors, especially for his mild and witty animal ink paintings in recent years.

Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition @ Guangdong Museum

Opening Hours: 9:00 - 17:00

Date: June 16 - October 15, 2017, closed on Mondays

The Titanic was built by the British "White Star Line" Company. It was conceived in 1907 and sank during its maiden voyage in 1912 in the North Atlantic. At the time, it was the largest ship ever built and the largest moving object ever created by man. It was supposed to be unsinkable. The Titanic was huge and luxurious, a miracle in the history of the world. Its brief existence was fraught with the drama of a Greek tragedy. It left behind many stories, legends, and mysteries.

The Titanic exhibition displays more than 300 cultural relics salvaged from the Atlantic Ocean, 2.5 miles (more than 4000 meters) deep. Viewing the exhibition reminds us of our common humanity. Objects as commonplace as a vase, a silk tie , and a postcard, are filled with a silent language,reminding us of life's fragility and the importance of loved ones. The proud prediction that the ship would never sink was destroyed by the merciless sea. The story of the Titanic reminds us that men cannot rely too much on science and technology. And, a once shimmering gold watch,its hands swept away by the frigid waters of the North Atlantic,warns that wealth does not insulate against tragedy.

Submarine, giant clam bracelet, grilled oyster, the shell of abalone or sea-ear, Squidward Tentacles, giant squid, snail, slug... All theses things seem to be unrelated, but there is a secret bond linking them together. Why do the Chinese Chinese characters about money all have the radical of bei (贝)? Shellfishes, master architect in the animal kingdom, can build strong and colorful shell houses, but why are they called mollusc? The Exhibition of Shellfish presents over 1000 shellfish specimens and cultural relics to answer all these questions.
