Art In America 300 Years of Innovation_2

'The largest-scale exhibition of American art yet to come to China, and the first to fully reflect the entire history of the development of art in the United States—Art in America: Three Hundred Years of Innovation—will open at the Shanghai Museum and the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA) on May 1, 2007, and run through June 30, 2007. The exhibition presents over 130 works by nearly as many artists who hold an important place in America’s art history, and systematically outlines the developments of the last 300 years, from the colonial period of the 18th century to the contemporary period at the dawn of the 21st century. The contemporary exhibition will be presented under the title Art in America: Now. These works are drawn from several dozen museums and collections in Europe and America, including the Terra Foundation for American Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. After many years of preparation, this exhibition, which has never been presented in the U.S., premiered in Beijing at the National Art Museum of China, Beijing, from February 10 to April 5, 2007. The exhibition was organized by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, New York, and the Terra Foundation for American Art, Chicago. Following its presentation in Shanghai, the exhibition will travel to Moscow to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the start of diplomatic relations between Russia and the U.S., and Bilbao, to kick off the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao’s tenth anniversary celebrations.'

----FROM SH MUSEUM

went to watch the exhibition above this afternoon, alone. last time havent watched the double years exhibition since no one going with me made me lazy to go myself(regretting), this time i didnt ask for anybodys willing huh. cool to be independent ne~ from now on i decide to be an independent person lol~of course hannbunn if u want to go with me id like to show u around next time.

this exhibition has been organized by The Solomon R.Guggenheim Foundation in partnership with the Terra Foundation for American Art. though im not an artist or sth i enjoy the exhibition. some paintings of 17 century r typical traditional oil painting, on canvas; some modern paintings, even not painting, coudnt understand their real meaning. for instance i saw 2 white 5 ft. fixtures fluorescent lights in the corner, one was cool white and the other is warm white, ittai what the artist want to express ne? and also 10*10 altstadt copper square, copper 100 units. standing on those copper feeling amazed, maybe i just felt nothing who knows.

one more thing was there were so many pupils there today which surprised me a lot.

noisy... prefer empty quiet museum.

i saw some foreigners feeling so too. y museum in cn also full of so many ppl ne...

schools organize activities like this is good however i wonder how much they care about the museum and the exhibition there. when i was a pupil at least i was not interested in those things. recalling~~~~

last, when i sitting down the seats lying around the elevator a lazy asked me for using my cell, she said she was lost with her friends and her cell was out of battery. during the call i knew that she was a traveller from other city. nice trip ya~

what means for gaokao

today is the sec day of the exam of uni enterance of this year.

back to the same day last year, i, as well as millions of grade3 students took part in the cruel war--chinese called gaokao. actually almost every country has this kind of exam, but chinese is diff, much more cruel. 5 yrs primary, 4 yrs mid, 3 yrs high school...12 yrs just for the final exam.

y this exam so important ne?

thats because ur aim is to enter a good uni, therefore if u dont get high enough grades in the exam u cant achieve ur aim, u will probably fall into an uni or a major u dont like (look at me u ll know, jp always drive me crazy).

in china, a good famous uni means everything. theres a better study environment which makes u wanna study more and more. and whats more important is it ll helpful for ur future work. so some ppl say a good uni equals half a good job lol

well, u work hard, do a lot of exercises and maths problem, go for extra lessons... however thats still not enough. u know how many ppl here. too many students like u all do that, u aint special. maybe im not able to express how cruel the exam is clearly in eng, just imagine the situation of thousands of soldiers cross the little bridge above a deep river... almost like that. few soldier cross while most of others fall into the river.

so boring

y im here?

i should be buried under my jp textbooks,

my eyes should seen nothing except jp,

all words i say should be jp instead of cn since theres a jp test next monday.

however im here, now, in front of the pc, typing and chatting with frens.

hate myself!

do nothing at home, always.

lack of self control ability.

well, i found my eng is...low level after i read some blogs of sg ppl.

cet-4 is coming while my vocabulary still small...

sometimes i feel confused

bored

anxious

to life

and future.

im ashamed i cant express my feelings or mood correctly in eng. chinese edu is failure, yes i cant deny, look at my eng, still mess after learning since i was grade3.

vocabulary, gramma, reading...the only one im good (or better) at is listening. i mean comparing with the other three.

i want to record my words in eng but thats impossible. remember when i was in middle school, how easy eng was for me to learn! those days were the best time to learn 2nd lan i believe, pitty eng i taught then was too easy. if it was more difficult i could remember new words le, my brain machine grows older now, oftenly takes more time to bear in mind.

ppl say my eng is good, even quite good, thats they dont know the real me. or we can say chinese eng is quite good though its not our national lan. chinese play hard in eng, many kinds of eng tests prove that. teacher tells us we should memorize vocabulary books whenever we r in school or at home. "dont waste any time!" they say, in my opinion, its terribly crazy. every high shool grade3 students r required to recite eng, i remember i only write one word correctly while there were 100 words teacher gave us huh. of course i could do that im just a man not a superman ah~

strange im still interested in eng after so many years not getting big improvement, perhaps love lol

ohhhh how i write about eng? i was so bored just now ya.

japanese, (talk about it) which im majoring in now, which would be my side during later years, i cant say i love it or dislike it. if god combined me with jp what i can say? so many ppl around me learn jp le, my aunt stayed in jp for eight years, both two of my sis learn jp and one is in jp company now the other flied to jp twice in order to watch live of her best band, my best fren in mid-school learns my ex-bf learns my younger bro will learn soon my mum learned it 10 years ago......i told myself never learn jp when i was in high school however, now, 3 years later totally the opposite. certainly i want to study jp well...hard and tough... some jp words pronounciation r similar to cn, remember easily; some, especially some v. have no easy way to recite just sijiyingbei.

met a fren this week, same age as me but he now is a slaryman in KDDL, a jp company. sugoii ne! he told me he never learned jp just can speak, i found his jp even better than mine.

so y im still here now?
