Exhibition 'Chinese Contemporary Intangible Culture Heritages Exhibition' in Beecroft Art Gallery
Chinese Contemporary Intangible Culture Heritages Exhibition
- Jiangsu Art Foundation 2016 Funding Project
A quarter of a century has elapsed since Jiangsu and Essex established sister province/county relationships in 1992. As part of the silver anniversary celebrations and ongoing bilateral cultural exchanges, the Chinese Contemporary Intangible Culture Heritages Exhibition has been sponsored by Jiangsu Art Foundation as of 2016 and supported by Essex County Council and Nanjing Office, Jiangsu Provincial Department of Culture, Jiangsu Art Fund Management Center, and Beecroft Art Gallery under Southend Museums Service.
The Exhibition features over 50 works across nine distinctive categories; jade carving, embroidery, inner painting, lacquer, Zisha pottery, Yunjin, blue-and-white textile, tie-dye, and brocade. The categories will epitomise the exquisite techniques and profound cultural connotations of traditional Chinese intangible heritages, and, in each ease, showcase the cultural characteristics of specific places, plus the original views and persistent pursuit of Chinese artists.
We hope the exhibition will help bring the glamour of Jiangsu and the essence of Chinese arts to the world stage.
