A Recap: Position Fixing 定位 Three Group-Exhibitions at Guangzhou Opera House

A Recap: Position Fixing 定位 Three Group-Exhibitions at Guangzhou Opera House

1st December 2016 to 18 January 2017 Exhibition of a young generation of Asian artists confronting a group of western artists.

"Position Fixing 定位“

The main idea of those group-exhibitions was to show the new generations of Asian Artists with a special selection group show from China, Greater China ( Taiwan, Hong Kong,) South-East Asia (Singapore) and Korea, and to confront them to the new generation of western artists who also have expressed messages and a new vision of art through different channels, new media or social media, narrating a new kind of 'story of the world', witness of their generation and mutable identities. One of the main point related to those artists is what they expressed through the idea of movement, motion, connection, mapping, social media technologies, and geo-localisation.

Opera House Guangzhou Guangzhou Opera House is a Chinese opera house in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Designed by Zaha Hadid, it opened in 2010. The theatre has become the biggest performing centre in southern China and is one of the three biggest theaters in the nation alongside Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts and Shanghai's Shanghai Grand Theatre.

The Title of the exhibition is Position Fixing as a "cursor-witness" of the new contemporary art generation, including videos, movies, short movies, web pages, music, and installations. Something is coming now out of this new-art generation and tools, social media, and video, which is going to transform the cognitive response, resulting in a new position fixing. Here Position is more related to something close to the idea of positioning as the P of GPS in Global Positioning System.Positions may be expressed as a bearing and range from a known landmark or asan angles of latitude and longitude relative to a map datum.

In practice observations are subject to errors resulting from various physical and atmospheric factors that influence the measurement of distances and angles.

A position fix is calculated by taking into account measurements (referred to as observations) of distances or angles to reference points whose positions are known. In 2D surveys observations of three reference points are enough to compute a position in a two dimensional plane. The artists we selected, all interpret through videos an art sequence related to position, motions, or mapping, so we also decided to focus our exhibition on the different approach related to the Cognitive Response Model in their work, states that receivers can be conscious reactive members in the persuasion process.

The Exhibition is curated by Cecily Jin and Fabien Pacory.

The exhibition is also supported by CJ CULTURE FOUNDATION (CJ Group) and PACORY ART ADVISORY. Great Thanks, Courtesy of Huang Collection, John Dodelande Collection JDCO, New Galerie Paris, GALLERY EXIT 安全口, De Sarthe Gallery Beijing - Hong Kong, Vanguard Gallery Shanghai, and Pifo Gallery Beijing.
