GUANGZHOU DRIFTINGS BY CATHERINE GFELLER GUANGDONG MUSEUM OF ART, GUANGZHOU, CHINA MARCH –APRIL 2018
Photography, video sound and text installations.
In this exhibition, Guangzhou is expressed through personal visions, sensations, perceptions, thoughts of women about their own city.
In today’s chinese society the role and the voice of women are crucial.
The focus is given on a subjective interpretation of the city.
«Guangzhou Driftings» takes visitors into a sensory universe to explore the city with a new perspective. The exhibition leads them through a journey where all the senses guide them.
Visitors discover the artworks as if they were wandering through the city’s streets.
The whole city has invaded the museum’s space.
A rich variety of mediums is presented: photography, video, sound, text installations and a participative space across halls 6 and 8 of the Guangdong Museum of Art. (approx. 800 m 2.).
They all interact with one another : images on the videos in Hall 8 are echoes of the photographs presented in Hall 6, written sentences evoke a picture on the next wall, a sound piece refer to a video…
The vision of ten women intermingle: nine chinese women who and my own vision. My explorations as a foreigner and artist dialogue with the Chinese women I have interviewed and filmed in the different districts of the city.
The city is our common theme and acts as a platform of crossraods, as if we were speaking the city outloud together in a chorus. Guangzhou becomes a palimpset where many layers are combined, superimposed, constantly circulate and play together.
Guangzhou is a megalopolis and yet these « Guangzhou Driftings» enable us to develop an intimate relationship with the city.

Yuan Jing Guang (袁景光) - Live at the Guangdong Museum of Art (广东省博物馆), Guangzhou, China
Live at the Museum is a series of films in which buskers and other artists perform without permission in front of major museums around the world. The democracy of art and the use of public space are key components of this work. It is an indefinitely ongoing series and while each work stands on its own, they are interconnected through a shared distance to global cultural agendas and a quiet beauty emanating from the covert act of street performance. Live at the Museum is an investigation into the collective and institutional affirmation given to culture, while also functioning as a digital archive to cache the contribution of its participants.

CHEN ANCESTRAL HALL, GUANGZHOU
Ancestral Temple of the Chen Family (Chen Clan Academy)
Ancestral Temple of the Chen Family is also called Chen Clan Academy or Chen's Lineage Hall which was a place in Guangzhou both for offering up sacrifices to ancestors and for study. Now it serves as Guangdong Folk Arts Museum to show the most characteristic Guangdong architecture. The Chen Clan Ancestral Temple in Guangzhou City, the Ancestors' Temple in Foshan City, the former Residence of Sun Yat-sen in Zhongshan City and the Opium War Memorial Hall in Dongguan City are regarded as the four major cultural tourist sites in Guangdong Province.
In the late of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), a man named Chen got the third place in the highest imperial examination and had conferred upon him a distinguished office title which made the Family Chen well-known. Later someone suggested that all the Chen's families raise money to build a temple to sacrifice to the ancestors and encourage their offspring likewise to study hard. Therefore, the temple was finished in 1894 with the money donated by Chen's families in 72 counties of Guangdong Province as well as some overseas members of Family Chen.
The Ancestral Temple of the Chen Family is a compound complex consisting of nine halls, six courtyards and nineteen buildings connected by corridors, all separated by walls from the outside world. A pair of stone drums in front of the entrance door, measuring 2.55 meters (about 8.36 feet) in height and two colored drawing pictures of door-god of four meters (about 13 feet) height are said to be the best in Guangdong.
The Chen Clan Academy was constructed in the traditional Chinese symmetrical style and the main hall, the Juxian Hall is in the center of the temple. Juxian Hall was once a place for clansmen to assemble before the establishment of the temple and now it is used as an ancestral hall. In front of the hall is a stone gazebo surrounded by stone balustrades. In the hall there is an exquisitely carved folding screen which is an excellent example of woodcarving.
The most impressive attractions of the Ancestral Temple of the Chen Family are various superb carvings extolling nature. They are in the forms of wood, brick, pottery, stone, lime and things like that, of which wood carving especially fully demonstrates the great achievements of the art of carving in Guangdong Province. Stories of historical celebrities and scenes are also vividly represented in the temple.
