UCCA:Becoming Andy Warhol

Tuesday-Sunday10:00-19:00

UCCA Art Center

The exhibition will present around 400 works by the legendary Pop artist, selected from the collection of The Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), to audiences in China.
Based on groundbreaking research, the show innovatively brings together Warhol’s classic paintings, prints, and drawings with his films and
photography. Structured through five sections, the exhibition crafts
a non-linear narrative that begins with a focus on Warhol’s early work, archival material, and historical photographs, underlining the influence of his youth in Pittsburgh on his practice as a whole, and marking the first time an approach of this depth has been featured in a solo exhibition for the artist outside of The Andy Warhol Museum.
The exhibition goes on to explore different periods from Warhol’s career through representative works including his first forays blurring the
boundaries between fine and commercial art in 1950s New York, iconic paintings from the 1960s, and pieces inspired by New York’s vibrant street culture in the 1980s. In addition to these paintings and prints,
the exhibition also asserts the importance of the artist’s photography by showcasing images that served as a basis for his other works, as well as examining how influences from his early life and upbringing shaped
experimental, abstract work made later in his career.

Chinese Lacquerware of the Qianlong Reign from the Palace Museum

Lacquer is one of the oldest traditional handicrafts in China. The well-known lacquer bow unearthed at Kuahuqiao in Xiaoshan, Hangzhou dates to the Neolithic period and is estimated to be 8,000 years old.
The Palace Museum in Beijing features more than 18,000 lacquerware artifacts, the bulk of which are from the Qing Dynasty. Lacquerware technology reached its peak during the reign of early Qing emperor Qianlong (1736 – 1796).
Emperor Qianlong took exceptional interest in literature and the arts. He often personally supervised, examined and revised the technical specifications to produce art, which resulted in many forms of art reflecting his own taste, including lacquerware.
The Zhu Yanhuaqi-Qianlong Dynasty Lacquerware Exhibition from the Palace Museum is a selection of more than 100 pieces representing this influential era’s work in four parts: Carved lacquer, gold decorated lacquer, gold filled lacquer, and inlaid lacquer, produced by the imperial court craftsmen.

Le Supermarché des images
2021.05.01- 08.15
Tuesday-Sunday 10:00-19:00
Red Bricks Art Museum
¥130/P-¥150/P
The theme is inspired by the concept of “iconomy” that developed in
Peter Szendy’s 2017 book Visible Supermarkets: The Universal Economy of Images. Living during an era marked by image overproduction, he sought to explore a new way of understanding these icons. It was more
appropriate than ever to ask questions about the economic importance of images and their storage, velocity of circulation, component materials, and fluctuations in value. how to represent economic processes that often escape our mind, and how to think about the image from an economic standpoint. In short, how images have become a new form of capital.
In concert with the “supermarket” metaphor, the exhibition discusses five image-based perspectives: “Stocks, Raw Materials, Work, Values and
Exchanges”. The event aims to take a keen look at the profit and loss of the image economy and shall present current hot topics including the abuses of images, internet giants and their fingers in every pie,
the protection of personal information, “micro jobs” and digital labor, and cryptocurrencies. Those are the “bricks” that we use to construct the world we live in today and our modern lifestyle which undergoes
reshaping and changing.

WONDERS:
The Ancient Andean Civilization in Peru

Tuesday-Sunday 09:00-17:00
BEIJING Capital Museum
Free Admission
Chapter One EMERGENCE OF SOCIAL COMPLEXITY (ca. 1500 – 300 BCE)
From 1500 to 200 BCE, several cultures flourished in the Andean region, among which the most prominent one was the Chavín culture centered at Chavín de Huántar, near the south end of the north highlands of Peru.
In its heyday (900-200 BC) the Chavin influenced a large range of places from the north highlands to the south coast of Peru.
Archaeological discoveries in these areas, showing a relatively consistent style, indicate that the Chavín culture was taken by many regions at that time. This period represents the first cultural peak of the
Andean civilization. Many features of Andean civilization, such as jaguar worshiping and large ceremonial centers, were established and
strengthened during this period and have continued in subsequent cultures.
