桃花源记 Tao Hua Yuan Ji, Source of the Peach Blossoms
On view at the Taubman Museum till Sep 8, 2019.
Tao Yuanming, a Jin Dynasty (317-420 CE) poet, wrote of a traveler who came upon an isolated peach blossom valley beyond a cave where people seeking political refuge lived an ideal, harmonic life with nature and each other. Although villagers told the traveler not to tell of their location, he vainly marked his path and sent government officials who were unable to find it. To the Chinese, this story is metaphoric to an imaginary unattainable Utopia where the peach blossom symbolizes luck, love, and longevity, and to some – immortality.
The Zhuang people of Southwest Yunnan Province claim that they are the village depicted in Tao Yuanming’s story. I traveled there in 2008 and have not told anyone how to get there.
Yun-Fei Ji: The Intimate Universe
Yun-Fei Ji: The Intimate Universe
Curated by Johnson-Pote Director Tracy L. Adler
Video created by: Ben Salzman
Organized by the Ruth and Elmer Wellin Museum of Art, Yun-Fei Ji: The Intimate Universe is the Beijing-born artist’s largest solo exhibition to date in the United States, featuring a selection of work from 2006 to the present, including new scrolls, sculptures, and drawings never before exhibited. Taking on the thousand-year-old practice of Chinese scroll painting, Yun-Fei Ji employs ink on paper as his primary medium and landscape as his central subject. However, rather than adopting the idealism characteristic of traditional scroll painting, Ji’s work presents the gritty reality of life in China today. Ji emphasizes the critical relationship between the land and its people and how that balance is being challenged by current social, political, ecological, and economic shifts. His compositions are inspired by his own fieldwork in rural areas throughout China’s countryside, where entire villages face forced relocation to make way for ambitious infrastructural projects such as the Three Gorges Dam, and where climate change has compromised the natural environment. The resulting artworks are populated by individualized, present-day figures inhabiting land in various stages of transition. Poised between modernity and tradition, the village becomes a metaphor for community, and the dislocation and environmental deterioration become specters of geographic disenfranchisement. Embedded within the compositions alongside the villagers, ghosts of ancestors and animal-like folkloric figures act as powerful reminders of the longstanding cultural traditions at risk. With their impressionistic brushwork and original subject matter, Ji’s paintings possess an immediacy and urgency that suggest a fragmented, at times surreal, contemporary landscape.
Born in Beijing (1963), Yun-Fei Ji received a BFA from Beijing’s Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1982 and an MFA from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 1989. His work has been shown extensively, most recently at the Grand Rapids Art Museum in Michigan; the University Museum of Contemporary Art in Amherst, Massachusetts; the Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada; and in the 2014 New Orleans biennial Prospect.3: Notes for Now. In 2012, Ji presented his first Beijing solo exhibition at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art. He received the Rome Prize in 2006 from the American Academy in Rome, Italy.
This survey of the artist’s work will be followed by a major monographic publication that includes essays by Tracy L. Adler, Director, Wellin Museum of Art; Steven J. Goldberg, Associate Professor of Art History at Hamilton College; and Robert Morgan, noted critic and curator; co-published with DelMonico Books/Prestel, New York.

The Stele of Gwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo
The Stele of Gwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The stele of Gwanggaeto the Great of Goguryeo was erected in 414 by Jangsu of Goguryeo as a memorial to his deceased father. It is one of the major primary sources extant for the history of Goguryeo, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, and supplies invaluable historical detail on his reign as well as insights into Goguryeo mythology. It stands near the tomb of Gwanggaeto in what is today the city of Ji'an along the Yalu River in present-day northeast China, which was the capital of Goguryeo at that time. It is carved out of a single mass of granite, stands nearly 7 meters tall and has a girth of almost 4 meters. The inscription is written exclusively in Classical Chinese and has 1802 characters. The stele has also become a focal point of varying national rivalries in East Asia manifested in the interpretations of the stele's inscription and the place of the Empire of Goguryeo in modern historical narratives. An exact replica of the Gwanggaeto Stele stands on the grounds of War Memorial of Seoul and the rubbed copies made in 1881 and 1883 are in the custody of China and the National Museum of Japan, respectively, testament to the stele's centrality in the history of Korea and part of Manchuria. The stele's location, in Ji'an in the northeastern Chinese province of Jilin, was key to its long neglect. Following the fall of Goguryeo in 668, and to a lesser extent the fall of its successor state Balhae in 926, the region drifted outside the sway of both Chinese and Korean geopolitics. Afterwards the region came under the control of numerous Manchurian states, notably the Jurchen and from the 16th century the Manchu. When the Manchu conquered China in 1644 and established their hegemony, they guarded their ancestral homeland in Manchuria, prohibiting movement there by any non-Manchu peoples. This seclusion came to an end at the end of the 19th century, when the region was opened up for Han Chinese emigration. Manchuria thereafter became the coveted prize of vying regional powers, notably Russia and Japan for its rich natural resources and strategic location. The opening up of Manchuria also resulted in the influx of Chinese and Japanese scholars, the latter often supplemented by Japanese spies traveling incognito to spy the region's fortifications and natural layout, prescient of a future of increased international rivalry. In the late 19th century many new arrivals to the region around Ji'an began making use of the many bricks and baked tiles that could be found in the region to build new dwellings. The curious inscriptions on some of these tiles soon reached the ears of Chinese scholars and epigraphers. Many were found to bear an inscription in ancient Chinese script reading: May the mausoleum of the Great King be secure like a mountain and firm like a peak. It was around 1875 that an amateur Chinese epigrapher Guan Yueshan, scrounging for more samples of such tiles around Ji'an, discovered the mammoth stone stele of Gwanggaeto obscured under centuries of mud and overgrowth. The clearing away of the stele's face invariably led to the damaging of its engraved text. Almost every inch of the stele's four sides were found to be covered with Chinese characters (nearly 1800 in total), each about the size of a grown man's hand. The discovery soon attracted scholars from Japan, Russia, and France. In 1883 a young Japanese officer named Sakō Kageaki traveling in the guise of an itinerant Buddhist monk arrived in Ji'an. Sakō had been ordered from his last post in Beijing to proceed back to Japan via Manchuria and to make detailed observations there of the region's layout. It was while traveling through Liaoning that he apparently heard of the stele's recent discovery and managed to procure an ink rubbing of the stele's face to carry back to his homeland. It was scholars in Japan who were to make the first detailed analysis of the stele's ancient text.
The inscription of the stele can be found in some of the sites listed below.

Richard co-found Béla Ensemble, a clarinet-violin-piano ensemble focusing on contemporary music. He performed Stravinsky’s Septet as part of RCM’s collaboration with the Philharmonia Orchestra in the Stravinsky: Myths & Rituals Festival, as well as Steve Reich’s Double Sextet during the composer’s residency at the RCM. Recent performances include his debut at Carnegie Hall (Weill Recital Hall), and recitals in the Sheldonian Theatre, Holywell Music Room, Victoria & Albert Museum, St. John’s Smith Square, Regents Hall, Roman Music Festival, Oxford Lieder Festival, and on tour in cities across China.
Richard’s most important teachers and mentors include Victor Rosenbaum, Andrew Ball, Sally Pinkas, Steve Swayne, and Hong Teng. During the summers, Richard enjoys attending music festivals through which he has learned from pianists such as Dimitri Alexeev, Paul Badura-Skoda, Boris Berman, Christopher Elton, Robert McDonald, and Peter Serkin. This past summer, Richard was a fellow at Music Academy of the West, where he met his current teacher Jonathan Feldman and also played the celeste in a concert conducted by Alan Gilbert featuring Renée Fleming.
