Symposium on Liu Haisu, Pioneer of Modern Chinese Art
Sunday, December 4, 2:00-4:00pm
Speakers: Ms. Liu Chan, Mr. Chen Lusheng, Ms. Zhang Anna
Event fee: FREE
40 Rector Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10006
Liu Haisu was a prominent twentieth-century Chinese painter and a noted art educator. He excelled at combining traditional Chinese painting methods with European techniques, especially those of van Gogh and Cézanne, and promoted this style as a model for revolutionizing art education in China. As the leader of art schools in Shanghai and Nanjing, Liu exerted extraordinary influence. The scion of a distinguished literary family, Liu studied calligraphy under Kang Youwei and traditional landscape and flower painting under Wu Changshi and Chen Hengke. He became one of the founders of the Shanghai Academy, the first art college in modern China. During the 1920s and 30s he organized several important national and international exhibitions and toured Japan and Europe, where he studied Western techniques and exhibited his own works. As a teacher, Liu maintained that painters should combine a knowledge of formal art theory with their natural talent and personal judgment, a departure from the Chinese tradition of copying the compositions and techniques of old masters. His works in traditional Chinese style were free-flowing and brilliant in color.
To commemorate the 120th anniversary of his birth, The Renwen Society presents a special symposium on the art legend on Sunday, December 4, 2-4 pm. Speakers include:
Ms. Liu Chan, daughter of Liu Haisu, Guest Professor at Nanjing University of the Arts, Honorary President of the Liu Haisu Gallery in Changzhou
Mr. Chen Lusheng, Former Vice President of the National Museum of China
Ms. Zhang Anna, President of Changzhou Liu Haisu-Xiayiqiao Art Museum

The Muban Education Foundation - 20 Years of Support for Chinese Woodblock Printing
A talk by David Barker, Senior Research Fellow of the Muban Foundation, London
Monday, November 21 at 4:00 PM
UCLA Bunche Hall Room 10383
The muban multi-color printing process, perfected in the early 17th century, allows for vivid, finely-detailed prints that closely mimic painting. Though the Ming Dynasty is largely seen as woodblock printing''s "golden age", this centuries-old art form continues to thrive in China''s contemporary art scene as today''s artists experiment with new subject matter, techniques, and applications. Guest speaker David Barker will give an introduction to the history of color woodblock printing in China as well as the Muban Education Trust''s work preserving the Chinese woodblock printing tradition.
The Muban Educational Trust is a non-profit organization dedicated to research, collection and promotion of Chinese woodblock prints and printmaking. It is home to the extensive collection of Chinese woodcut prints assembled by Christer von der Burg and the late Verena Bolinder-Müller during the late 1990s, and is currently working on completing a pictorial and biographical archive of the collection which will assist access to the collection by both specialists and non-specialists alike.
David Barker is a graduate of Goldsmiths'', University of London 1961-66. He studied Chinese at the People''s University, Beijing and at Leeds University in the 1980s. He retired from the post of Reader in Printmaking at the University of Ulster in 2005, to take up the voluntary post of Secretary to the Trustees, The Muban Educational Trust 2005-2015. He is currently the Senior Research Fellow in the Muban Educational Trust 2015. His work includes many books and journal articles published in the UK, USA and China. He is currently working to complete a Chinese-English-Chinese Glossary of Woodblock Printmaking Terms. He is Honorary Professor of Printmaking in the China Academy of Fine Arts and a Member of their International Exchange Committee.

Please join the USC U.S.-China Institute for a screening of Iron Moon: The Poetry Of Chinese Migrant Workers, a documentary following Chinese workers who use poetry as a tool to express the hidden life stories and experiences of people living at the bottom of the society. The film is in Chinese with English subtitles.
What: Screening - Iron Moon 我的诗篇
When: Thursday, November 17, 2016, 4:00-6:00pm
Where: Wallis Annenberg Hall, ANN 106
Cost: Free.
About the Film
An assembly line worker in an Apple factory who commits suicide at the young age of 24, leaving behind 200 poems of despair-"I swallowed an iron moon....."; a guileless lathe operator who is rebuffed at every turn, living in the world of his poetry; a female clothing factory worker who lives in poverty but writes poetry rich in dignity and love; a coalminer who works deep in the earth year round, trying to contact and make peace with the spirits of his dead coworkers through his poetry; and a goldmine demolitions worker who blasts rocks several kilometers into mountainsides to support his family, while writing poetry to carry the weight of his fury and affections-"My body carries three tons of dynamite...." They could be any of the 350 million workers in China, and yet these five are also poets. Using poetry as a tool to chip away at the ice of silence, they express the hidden life stories and experiences of people living at the bottom of the society. This is one story behind the sudden rise of China, and a mournful song of global capitalism.
"我咽下一枚铁做的月亮......"一名苹果手机的流水线工人自杀身亡，年仅24岁，留下200多首绝望的诗歌；一名不懂人情世故处处碰壁的叉车工，固执地活在诗歌的世界里；一名制衣女工，生活窘迫艰难，却用高贵的心灵谱写爱意；一名常年劳作于地心深处的煤矿工人，宛如地狱来客，用诗歌为苦难的兄弟们立言和招魂；"我身体里有炸药三吨"，一名金矿爆破工，在几千米矿洞深处开山炸石，养家糊口，用诗歌承载怒火和深情。他们是3.5亿中国工人中普普通通的几位，同时又是令人惊异的诗人；他们不约而同拿起诗歌这一武器，来打破沉默的坚冰，抒发底层劳动者不为人知的悲欢离合与生死命运。这是一个中国崛起背后的传奇故事，一首资本全球化世界的哀歌。
