艺术家们跨越国界的多元文化对话就像一组艺术化声音的马赛克拼贴，如同一曲色彩的交响乐，兼具个体性和集体性，及良多的背景、年龄和出身。毫无疑问，每位艺术家独具深微奥妙的艺术技巧，他们以画布为媒介，创作出反映其多模态自然与社会语境的方寸世界。艺术家个体的声音，通过介入与其他声音的艺术化碰撞，得到更好的关注和倾听，艺术家亦此从边缘位置走向主流。

“Recognition of New Artistic Voices in Kunming”

International Contemporary Art Exhibition

Press release

The multi-national and multicultural conversations among artists form a mosaic of artistic voices, a symphony of colors, both individual and collective, with a variety of backgrounds, ages and origins. Clearly and thoughtfully, each one via his/her sophisticated artistic techniques creates a small individual world on canvas which reflects his/her multimodal nature and social context. Through involvement in artistic encounters with other voices the individual voice of the artist is seen and heard better and s/he comes from the marginal positions to the mainstream.

While “Multiculturalism” as a term appeared in the early 1970s but the phenomenon has lived from centuries before.  “Stemming from the Latin word‚ ‘colere’, which means to cultivate or till the soil, the notion of culture has always had a double meaning: a specific activity resulting in explicit artefacts, and the way in which society rises above nature, where culture becomes an implicit dimension of social life as such and defines a collectivity as a ‘personality writ large’” (Joppke and Lukes, Multicultural Questions, OUP, 1999: 3).

The theme of the exhibition is “Recognition of New Artistic Voices in Kunming”.  This exhibition will show how each individual artist from the West creates his/ her own voice and is represented in a multicultural, multi-colorful art scene of the East. The main purpose of Dounan Art Museum and Pashmin Art Consortia through presenting this vast scope of artists is to bridge the cultural and artistic gap between different cultures and countries.

At this group exhibition, a special section is devoted to Julius Voegtli (1879 - 1944), one of the forerunners of Impressionism in Switzerland.
