Here, in China 

What I enjoy most about China is the dominating sense of malleability, that the country is held together by expediencies. Not just in everyday life and how people solve problems but in the nation’s endeavours to create an image of itself. A taxi driver can suddenly pull up at the side of the road, open the bonnet to repair something with sticky tape, and an old domestic telephone can be set out on the street with a sign saying ‘public telephone’.

Chinese European Art Center

Description

In November 1999 the Chinese European Art Center has been formally founded as a joint venture with the Xiamen University Art College. The foundation has been initiated by Mrs Ineke Gudmundsson from the Netherlands with the co-operation of prof Qin Jian. The programs aims: to introduce Western contemporary art to the Chinese public, establish contacts between Western and Chinese artists, create an opportunity for foreign artists to work in China, provide information about Chinese art-life to the participants, create a community of contemporary artists in Xiamen – populated by Chinese and Western artists.
