本次展览关于中国当代水墨艺术的专题研讨会将会在4月1日周三下午3：30-5：00于 Bossone Research Center (3128 Market St.)研究中心举行。会议由中国美术馆潘晴博士主持，参加研讨会的是中美艺术界相关领域的专家，包括中国美术馆馆长范迪安、深圳美术馆策展人鲁虹、耶鲁艺术学院(Yale School of Art)学监 Robert Storr、《美国艺术》(Art In America)高级编辑 Richard Vine、亚洲艺术学会 (the Asia Society Museum)主管 Melissa Chiu等。这次研讨会必将会成为中美学术界关于中国当代水墨艺术的一次精彩而重要的对话。另外本次展览由文化部文化市场司司长刘玉珠、文化市场发展中心主任梁钢、副司长张新建、中国深圳市文化局局长陈威和美国费城德雷塞尔大学董事艾比·迪安担任总策展，深圳美术馆艺术总监鲁虹担任艺术主持;展览邀请范迪安、贾方舟、刘骁纯、鲁虹、皮道坚、孙振华、殷双喜、张新建、赵力等在水墨理论、批评领域有突出贡献的理论家、批评家担任学术委员，共同举荐、商讨、遴选参展艺术家，并为展览撰写专题学术论文，阐述各自对改革开放以来水墨画的发展历程以及当代水墨所遭遇问题的研究成果。
“墨非墨——中国当代水墨邀请展”是一次中国当代水墨艺术创作的盛宴，主题定为“墨非墨”，旨在探讨中国水墨在当下文化境遇中发展的新的可能，使水墨艺术从传统的图式、笔墨语言、意境等水墨因子中脱离出来，从而对当下文化中的水墨进行重新审视。
策划人之一张新建副司长认为：“水墨是中国艺术的精髓，尤其是在当代艺术的语境中，中国传统水墨也与世界各国传统艺术一样，存在着向当代社会转型、与国际语言接轨的问题，因此我们更应该注入新的艺术元素对水墨进行当代的阐释。本次展览艺术家们用当代艺术的观念、以多样的媒材和个人对水墨的切身经验来展示水墨艺术，从而使水墨在国际艺术的舞台上有一个更好的交流与发展。”
据悉，此展览有意赴东欧匈牙利、波兰、捷克等国展出，具体事宜相关方面正在密切协商。

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
INK not INK
an Exhibition of Contemporary Chinese Art on World Tour
an Exhibition of Contemporary Chinese Art on World Tour
Makes Only US Stop at Drexel University
Philadelphia, PA- Curated by the Shenzhen Art Museum and an expert panel of Chinese critics and curators, including Fan Di’an, Director of the National Art Museum of China, INK not INK will be the first survey-scale exhibition of contemporary Chinese art ever presented in the Greater Philadelphia region. More than 80 paintings, prints, sculptures, and videos by 40 Chinese artists, including renowned figures such as Wenda Gu, Wei Qingji, and Lin Tianmiao, will be presented. The central theme of the exhibition is the critical role that the ancient tradition of ink painting plays in the cultural memory and imagination of many contemporary Chinese artists even as they respond to China’s explosive economic growth and rapid globalization. As outside cultural influences become increasingly potent inside China, artists are boldly experimenting with new mediums and technologies on an imposing scale, creating unprecedented admixtures of Western and Eastern imagery.
The featured artist, Wenda Gu, has participated in hundreds of critically acclaimed national and international exhibitions. Perhaps Gu’s most acclaimed and controversial work is United Nations, an on-going series of works begun in 1993. One of the works of this series, United Nations: Man & Space Year 2000, a colossal, 100-ft high installation made of human hair and representing the flags of all nations, will be the center piece of the Ink not Ink exhibition.
A symposium on contemporary ink painting will be held on Wednesday, April 1 at 3:30-5:00 PM in the Bossone Research Center (3128 Market St.). The symposium panel, comprised of leading scholars from China and the United States including Fan Di’an, the Director of the National Art Museum of China, Jia Fangzhou, critic, Lu Hong, curator at the Shenzhen Art Museum, Robert Storr, Dean of the Yale School of Art, Richard Vine, Senior Editor, Art In America, and Melissa Chiu, Director of the Asia Society Museum, will create an important dialogue between Chinese and American scholars on the topic of contemporary Chinese Ink paintings. Dr. Pan Qing, curator at the National Art Museum of China will serve as moderator.
A gala preview and reception by invitation only will follow the symposium at 6 PM in the Bossone Research Center. The gala will be attended by Chinese artists, critics, scholars and curators as well as dignitaries from the Ministry of Culture, members of the Consulate General’s Office in NY, the Chinese Embassy in Washington, and American local and national elected officials. All proceeds will benefit Drexel University’s Westphal College of Media Arts & Design. A special performance by Jenny Chen of the Curtis Institute of Music will accompany the gala.
INK not INK will open to the general public on Thursday, April 2, at three different locations at Drexel University: The Bossone Research Center & Atrium (3128 Market St.), The Paul Peck Alumni Center (3142 Market St.) and The Leonard Pearlstein Gallery (Nesbitt Hall, 3215 Market St.). The exhibition will close Saturday, May 9, 2009. The exhibition, which opened at the Shenzhen Art Museum in September, 2008, and moved to the Today Art Museum in Beijing in December 2008, will travel to Europe after it closes in Philadelphia. Drexel University’s presentation of the exhibition and symposium is made possible by the generous support of the Ministry of Culture of the P. R. of China, the Marketing Division of the Ministry of Culture of the P. R. of China, the Shenzhen Foundation of Cultural Promotion and Development, Beijing Zhongwenfa International Cultural Exchange Co., Ltd, Continental Airlines and HSBC.
The symposium and exhibition are free to the public. The Bossone Research Center was designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei. The exhibition will be open daily from 10 am – 5 pm. Public parking is available at the Drexel parking structure located on Ludlow St between 33rd & 34th St. Tickets are required for the gala preview and reception.
