From the exhibition
to the discussion
从展览研究
到共同讨论

Hu Chao developed the symposium’s concept, designed its themes and discussion structure, and brought the participants together. Through several months of preparation, he shaped a programme connecting historical case studies with artists’ experiences, collection histories and contemporary curatorial practice.

胡超构思会议主题,设计议题与讨论结构,并负责召集参与者、组织及主持会议。经过数月筹备,他将展览研究中的历史个案,与艺术家的切身经验、收藏历史及当代策展实践组织成相互联系的讨论。

Programme topics ranged from the 1952 Bali journey and Covarrubias’s exchanges with China to See Cheen Tee’s family archive, performance art and contemporary artists’ experiences. Short presentations, an artist conversation and roundtables brought these materials and perspectives into a shared discussion.

议题从1952年巴厘岛行旅、珂佛罗皮斯与中国的往来,延伸到许振第的家族档案、行为艺术史及当代艺术家的经验。短篇发言、艺术家对谈与圆桌讨论,使这些材料和视角进入同一讨论现场。

Morning session上午场

Southeast Asian Images in a Global Perspective世界视角下的东南亚图像

Journeys to Bali, images of Nanyang and artists’ accounts of island life offered different ways of seeing Southeast Asia. The session connected the art histories of the 1930s–1950s with contemporary practice, including performance art and fieldwork in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

从巴厘岛行旅、南洋图像到艺术家对岛屿生活的观察,本场讨论东南亚被看见与被描绘的不同方式,将1930至1950年代的艺术史与行为艺术、印尼及巴布新几内亚的田野经验联系起来。

Roundtable moderator: Yi Ying圆桌主持:易英

Afternoon session下午场

Artistic Exchanges across China, Southeast Asia and the Global South中国、东南亚和全球南方的艺术流动

Artists’ networks, family archives, comics, painting education and the work of galleries brought the discussion to the relationships that sustain artistic exchange. The session considered how regional art histories are written through personal records, institutions and encounters across borders.

艺术家网络、家族档案、漫画、中国画教育与画廊实践,使讨论进入支撑艺术交流的具体关系。本场考察个人记录、文化机构和跨境交往如何参与区域艺术史的书写。
