Grammy Yeung—Ode to Bamboo
Programme:
March of the general 將軍令 Anonymous 佚名
Combating typhoon 戰颱風 Wang Changyuan 王昌元
Fantasia 幻想曲 Wang Jianmin 王建民
Spring on Xiang River 春到湘江 Ning Baosheng 寧保生
Bamboo has played an important role in music-making in China since the earliest periods of civilisation, when it was first used to make woodwind instruments like the dizi, a side-blown flute that was invented in the ninth century BCE. It was also the main material for early zithers called zhu—a possible precursor to the guzheng—and plectra that were used to play a variety of stringed instruments. Rich with symbolism, bamboo has inspired countless songs and plays, many of which focus on its perceived qualities of simplicity and humility, and its abundance in nature.
In a series of performances at UMAG on 12 April and 9 May 2019, guzheng player Grammy Yeung responds to the aesthetic of bamboo in Chinese art through a carefully selected programme of six contemporary and traditional compositions. Each evokes feelings of retreating to a remote landscape and the transformational processes of nature. The performances are organised in conjunction with the exhibition Art of the Iron Brush: Bamboo Carvings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which runs at UMAG from April 17–July 28, 2019.

Schoeni Art Gallery, Hong Kong Artists Part 1, Cheung Wai Man Eunice
Schoeni Art Gallery is delighted to have collaborated with the Pori Art Museum, Finland for its three-year project (2013 -- 2015). The aim is to introduce contemporary art phenomena and themes through video documentaries and video art works from Hong Kong (2013), Tokyo (2014) and Seoul (2015). Two video documentaries, that were produced by the gallery, relating to the city in question went on display in the Museum earlier this year and each video was shown on a continuous loop for few months.
This video is about Hong Kong artist Cheung Wai Man Eunice. She was born in Hong Kong in 1986. She graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong with an MFA in 2011.
She specializes in Chinese gongbi fine brush painting tradition. The focus of her artwork is of animals, and her research is about the changing relationships between human and animals throughout Chinese Art History. The natural environment and its inhabitants have always been the central theme of Cheung's works. She has produced series of paintings that concern environmental and animal protections. She wants to capture the beauty of animals and to reflect the state of animals in different cultures, societies and geography. It is her dream and hopes to be able to portray every known animal.
Eunice Cheung has exhibited in numerous shows and galleries throughout the city of Hong Kong, notably at the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

The Appreciation and Connoisseurship of Chinese Rubbings- Dr. Sarah Ng (May 27, 2016)
Rubbings are inked impressions on paper that have been reproduced from engravings or reliefs. They are one of the key ways to preserve the calligraphy, culture and history of imperial China. Despite their long history, rubbings have not been as popular as Chinese paintings and calligraphy due to the inherent difficulty in appreciating and authenticating them. Yet illustrated
rubbings provide detailed and vivid information ranging from daily to economic, religious, political, and cultural life of historical pasts
Dr. Sarah Ng is currently the associate curator of the University Museum & Art Gallery of the University of Hong Kong (UMAG, HKU) and an honorary assistant professor at the Department

Curators reveal museum secrets (4.7.2015)
Visitors to Hong Kong's museums are likely unaware of how much preparatory work goes into hosting an exhibition. It takes months or even years to acquire the artefacts, prepare them and organise how they will be displayed.
This is where the curators come in. It is their job to research, collect, document and skilfully display the relics. But a lot of their work is done behind the scenes, so many do not get to experience first-hand what curators do.
Creative curating
Museum of Art Curator Szeto Yuen-kit takes care of its Chinese paintings collection. A predominant format of Chinese painting is the handscroll, a continuous roll of paper or silk of varying length on which an image has been painted. He explained the delicate process of displaying the ancient artwork and that there was more to his job than just hanging up a painting.
Chinese handscroll paintings remain rolled up when not being viewed. But we need to display the painting in its entirety to visitors, so we need to find the best way of doing that. But I also want to protect all the paintings, Mr Szeto explained.
With 29 years' experience, as well as a degree in Chinese and Western Art History under his belt, being a curator has become more than a job for him. Chinese paintings need to be carefully unfurled and held in place without causing any damage to the delicate paper or silk - and that got Mr Szeto thinking.
He was so passionate about protecting the art in his care that he and his team designed a special plastic hook that would stop the handscroll from rolling back as it was being unfurled. Fellow curators in overseas museums have praised his innovation.
You can prevent the scroll from rolling without damaging it. We have made different sizes to fit different handscrolls.
For Mr Szeto, it is this kind of creativity that makes a good curator.
“Of course, you need the academic expertise and an interest in the relics, but creativity is also an important factor,” he noted.
A major part of a curator's job is to organise displays and exhibitions. Mr Szeto says this is not as simple as it sounds. He has to make an exhibition as appealing and interesting as possible, while helping visitors understand the history behind the relics.
Detailed eye
When museums curate thematic exhibitions, they usually need to borrow artefacts from other museums. Before these relics are handed over to the exhibition organisers, and before they are returned, a thorough inspection and handover procedure must take place. The inspection of an artefact's condition is the most important part of this process. Its purpose is to confirm and record its condition, so that the necessary packing and exhibition mounting can be used. This system is crucial for preventing any possible damage to the artefact.
Museum of History Curator Jeremy Hui is well versed in this process, having handled precious relics for 20 years.
Ancient ceramics may have cracks because they were made and used many years ago, so we need to check them carefully. We take photos to record the condition of the artefacts to make sure they are returned in the same condition as when they arrived, she explained.
Ms Hui has organised many exhibitions during her time working at both the History Museum and Heritage Museum. She recalls travelling to Beijing to check on the artefacts being borrowed from the National Palace Museum before they were loaned to Hong Kong.
It was so cold I had to keep jumping up and down just to keep warm, but I still needed to get on with the job of checking every detail of the artefacts carefully.
Ms Hui's passion for archaeology stems back to her student days. She applied for a summer job at the Conservation Office while studying Humanities at university, but was initially disappointed that she did not get to do any archaeological work.
Instead, she was sent to study temples in Kowloon. It was that experience and conversations with a temple worker that cemented the idea of working as a curator in her mind.
I learn new things every time I prepare an exhibition and 20 years on, I am still learning. I love my job, she said.
Curator for a day
The Leisure & Cultural Services Department is giving people a behind the scenes peek at museum life through its Be a Curator programme which is part of Muse Fest HK 2015.
The city's leading curators from the Museum of Art, Museum of History, Heritage Museum and Science Museum are taking part in the programme where they reveal the secrets to designing inspiring exhibitions.
Be a Curator will be held every weekend from 2pm at the Museum of Art's exhibition gallery during Muse Fest which runs until July 12. (
ON THE ROAD, YOUNG MEDIA ARTISTS IN CHINA HK
On the Road is a unique, annual project initiated in 2014 by the Guan Shanyue Art Museum, Shenzhen, here seen in its 2018 version. The process involves 15 curators, art critics, and scholars, from major institutions, art schools and museums throughout China and Hong Kong, proposing a selection of promising young Chinese artists. This collective curatorial process results in the creation of an impressive “nomination exhibition” from which a final selection of the best 20-30 works is then made.
This year, for the first time in its history, the annual On the Road exhibition is dedicated to New Media Art. With the title Young Media Artists in China, the 30 or so works selected by the nominating committee (along with 6 contributions by the faculty of the School of Creative Media, CityU) provide a stimulating and exciting overview of the media art scene across China today, and demonstrates how young Chinese artists are exploring, manipulating, and playing with media, often combining both older and ‘newer’ media to new ends.
During the past 10 years the new media art scene has grown in size and quality in a country highly receptive to innovation. China’s own rich and unique history of image-making, painting and calligraphy, offers a tradition where time and space, black and white, sound and silence are often juxtaposed in a subtle dialogue made up of contrasts and complicity. Building on this tradition, with diverse and modern sensibilities, young Chinese media artists are digging new paths that leave firm tracks across the ever-changing field of contemporary art.

Google Arts And Culture Face
Google Arts & Culture (formerly Google Art Project) is an online platform through which the public can access high-resolution images of artworks housed in the initiative’s partner museums. The project was launched on 1 February 2011 by Google, in cooperation with 17 international museums, including the Tate Gallery, London; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; and the Uffizi, Florence.[1]
The platform enables users to virtually tour partner museums’ galleries, explore physical and contextual information about artworks, and compile their own virtual collection. The walk-through feature of the project uses Google's Street View technology.[2] The images of many of the artworks were reproduced with very high quality, and each partner museum selected one artwork to be captured as a gigapixel image (with over 1 billion pixels).
On April 3, 2012, Google announced a major expansion to the Art Project as it signed partnership agreements with 151 museums from 40 countries. The platform now features more than 32,000 artworks from 46 museums, and the image acquisition process is underway at the remaining partner museums. This expansion includes works from institutions like the Art Gallery of Ontario, the White House, the Australian Rock Art Gallery at Griffith University, the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha, and the Hong Kong Museum of Art. Additionally, Google launched a second, improved version of the website with new Google+ features, enhanced search capabilities, and a series of educational tools. Google intended for this second-generation platform to be a global resource; accordingly, the Art Project is now available in 18 languages, including English, Japanese, Indonesian, French, Italian, Polish, and Portuguese.

Symposium - L’imaginaire de la Chine dans la littérature française du XVIIIe et XIXe siècle
Fantasmes et stéréotypes: l’imaginaire de la Chine dans la littérature française du XVIIIe et XIXe siècle
[Symposium] Asia-Oceania and the French-speaking world (Please note that only a number of these presentations will be uploaded due to audio difficulties)
Jointly organised by The University of Hong Kong (China), Laval University (Canada) & Médias 19. Friday, 5 July 2019. Saturday, 6 July 2019.
Speaker: Fabien Demangeot (Panthéon-Sorbonne University, Paris)
Dans l'une de ses Lettres adressées à Monsieur Pauw, l'auteur de Candide allait même jusqu'à affirmer qu'il s'agissait du peuple le plus juste et le plus humain de l'univers. Il venait ainsi s'opposer aux propos plus virulents de Montesquieu qui, dans L'esprit des lois, critiquait un régime politique qu'il jugeait despotique. Ses deux visions antagonistes persistent encore aujourd'hui. Elles ont même, pour ainsi dire, façonné un certain imaginaire de l'Orient en Europe.
Des textes de Sade au Jardin des supplices d'Octave Mirbeau, en passant par Le Dragon impérial de Judith Gautier, il s'est, au fil du XVIIIème siècle jusqu'à la fin du XIXème siècle, et parallèlement à l'émergence de la philosophie bouddhiste qui passionna tant Schopenhauer, développé tout un imaginaire de la torture et du supplice qui, s'il fascina durablement un lectorat avide de sensations fortes, finira par devenir un objet totalement parodique. Au XXème siècle, le théâtre du Grand Guignol, les romans de gare ou encore les oeuvres du Nouveau Romancier Alain Robbe-Grillet dont l'un des romans, La maison de rendez-vous, se déroule, par ailleurs, dans un Hong-Kong stéréotypé à l'extrême, ont totalement déconstruit toutes ses représentations fantasmées d'une réalité, au final, bien méconnue. Cette étude interrogera la construction de certains stéréotypes ainsi que la vision schématique d'un Orient qui, dans l'imaginaire français contemporain, peine encore à sortir d'une certaine binarité.
