About the Event 关于活动
In many local contexts including China, before and with the rise of numerous art institutions and major art events in Asia, exhibition practices in the past decades have played major roles in the making of contemporary art scenes and histories. These decisive practices and histories are often forgotten, neglected or excluded from the official global contemporary art history and Asian art institution references. Thus, they deserve to be urgently researched, archived and questioned in order to develop a better knowledge of the modern and contemporary arts specific to Asia and to evince new angles of the global contemporary art history.
This talk will look at the exhibition histories starting from China’s local context in relation to the upcoming assembly, co-organized by the Rockbund Art Museum and Biljana Ciric titled From Exhibition Histories towards a Future of Exhibition Making with a focus on the 90’s in China and Southeast Asia. Through this period, we witnessed the rise of biennials (including Shanghai Bienniale established in 1996) and other large-scale exhibitions throughout Asia as a response to weak infrastructure of local art institutions to support more experimental contemporary productions.
Conversation around exhibition histories between Larys Frogier (Director of the Rockbund Art Museum), Biljana Ciric (Independent Curator) and Cuauhtémoc Medina ( Chief Curator of the 12th Shanghai Biennale) will open up questions on how exhibition histories turned into active knowledge; through which prism we can reflect upon our practice of curators and artists today, as well as how we can challenge standardized modes of production today.
过去几十年间,在大量艺术机构及大型艺术活动兴起前,展览对中国和亚洲其他地区当代艺术界和艺术史的发展起到了重要作用。这些展览实践意义重大,却常常被人遗忘、忽视、排除在主流世界当代艺术史之外,甚至没有在亚洲艺术机构的档案中留下只言片语。为了更好地了解亚洲现代和当代艺术,同时为世界当代艺术史研究开辟新视角,我们应尽快着手研究、记录并思考这些宝贵实践。
2018年上海外滩美术馆与独立策展人比利安娜·思瑞克共同举办的“从展览的历史到展览制造的未来”研讨会聚焦 1990 年代中国及东南亚地区的策展实践之际,本次讲座将探讨中国本土的展览史。在这段重要时期,亚洲地区还产生了双年展(包括创立于 1996 年的上海双年展)及其他大型展览,在当地艺术机构基础设施薄弱的阶段,为更多当代艺术的实验性创作提供助力。
本次讲座邀请到上海外滩美术馆馆长拉瑞斯·弗洛乔、独立策展人比利安娜·思瑞克以及第12届上海双年展主策展人夸特莫克·梅迪纳,三人将围绕展览史展开讨论,并鼓励观众思考:展览史如何变成了助力我们反思当今策展人和艺术家实践的“主动知识”,以及我们该如何挑战当今标准化的生产模式。

In 2013 Ciric initiated "From History of Exhibitions towards Future of Exhibitions Making", ongoing seminar platform that proposes to revisit the importance of exhibition making; beyond art work itself, such is one of the key factors in the arts pertinent to social contexts. The seminar will look specifically at the history of exhibitions in China, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Ciric is a regular contributor to Broadsheet and Yi Shu journal, and has been nominated for an ICI Independent Vision Curatorial Award.
Larys Frogier is the Director of the Rockbund Art Museum (RAM) in Shanghai. Curator, critic and art historian.

Chair of the HUGO BOSS ASIA ART jury since 2013 at the Rockbund Art Museum, he conceived this new award, exhibition and research program to be an evolving platform to promote emerging artists and to question Asia as an investigative construction, rather than a monolithic area or fixed identities.

He was also in charge of the art critical section of the Reforma newspaper in Mexico City, titled “Ojo Breve”. A recent compilation on his critical interventions on art in Mexico has been published with the title Abuso Mutuo (Mutual Abuse) by Cubo Blanco and RM in 2017.
Among other projects, he has organized multiple international exhibitions and art projects, such as When Faith Moves Mountains (Lima, Peru, 2001) by Francis Alÿs; The Age of Discrepancies, Art and Visual Culture in Mexico 1968–1997, (in collaboration with Olivier Debroise, Pilar García and Alvaro Vazquez, 2007-08); Teresa Margolles's project for the Mexican Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2009, What Else Could We Talk About?, Dominó Canibal (Cannibal Dominoes) (2010), one year long series for, the Contemporary Art Project (PAC) in Murcia, Spain.
