Embark on an exotic and romantic journey with “Heavenly Bodies in the South” by Qin Qi and Rodel Tapaya at the He Xiangning Art Museum. The show is currently on view until 5 July.
“Award-winning Filipino artist Rodel Tapaya draws on the myths and legends of his country, finding power in folk tales and natural landscapes, responding to reality, and illuminating the circumstances and social affairs in the Philippines.
“The Comedy, Parody and Tragedy,” his largest work at the exhibition, depicts the slums’ daily life, with chaos, drunkards and gangs. The painting also depicts people dressed in different costumes like those of a comedy.” – Cao Zhen, Shenzhen Daily

On View | Qin Qi and Rodel Tapaya are having a joint exhibition at He Xiang Ning Art Museum, Shenzhen until 5 July. Visit the amazing “Heavenly Bodies In The South” before it ends!
“Qin Qi is a post-modernist. Boundaries and rules cannot prohibit him from freely utilizing all painting styles and languages. The unwieldy forms of figures and unstable composition make his work fascinating in a way different from the Western historical paintings.” – curator Cui Cancan.

... AND WHO ARE THE 6 WOMEN?
Cancelled last month, on again this month, the Maud Lewis/Terroir Exhibition is to be hosted at the Guangdong Museum in China later this month. That's great, we're glad to see that diplomats have been able to iron this out, however there's no mention in any of the articles nor press releases from the NS Department of Communities, Culture & Heritage is who the "six other contemporary female artists" are who are accompanying the cultural trade mission to China.
The exhibition will move to the Coast Art Museum in the city of Zhuhai 珠海 in June. The exhibition will then be shown at the He Xiangning Art Museum in Shenzhen before returning to Nova Scotia.
The great artist and great museum, the proud of Shenzhen

He Xiangning Art Museum presents International forum:
Survival Strategies of Independent Art Spaces
He Xiangning Art Museum is pleased to present Survival Strategies of Independent Art Spaces, an international forum hosted by the He Xiangning Art Museum in collaboration with the Shenzhen Fine Art Institute, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art and the Manchester Center for Chinese Contemporary Art. Curated by Feng Boyi, Fang Lihua, Wang D**g and Yan Liemin, it will be held at Centre for Chinese Contemporary Manchester Art on December 2 and at Ullens Center for Contemporary Art on December 19.
Our basic definition of independent art spaces is as follows: they are non-profit or not-for-profit, and provide free opportunities for independent, experimental and creative artists or artistic practices. In other words, they exist independently of art museums, galleries and art districts, and are alternative, folk-based and wild self-organizing art spaces. Finally, they serve as an important counterbalancing force against the increasingly commercial, official and mainstream trends in the contemporary art ecosystem.
