Fiona Rae at the Guangdong Museum of Art, Guangdong, China
—
Fiona Rae is taking part in the exhibition Journeys to the East: Revelations and Reverberations, at the Guangdong Museum of Art, in China.
"By including the domestic urban clusters with Beijing and Shanghai as the core in the frame of comparison and expanding the frame to cover Asia and the Western art arena with Eastern elements, this exhibition hopes to examine the relationship of mutual reflection, delve into this geographical power structure, and probe the diversity of cultural networks in the south and their cross-boundary communication and connection. The view of the interweaving of multiple centers increasingly represents the key trend. The many centers, like stars, form chains, which then form webs, thus eliminating rigid borders. The “south”, though based on geographical cognition, transcends this regional construction, and becomes more of a creative perspective. In particular, we try to study, review and present the artistic practice conducted in the deeply-connected historical, ideological and cultural relations that are unfolded from this perspective."
