💡The Power of Museums is Temporarily Turned Off

💡The Power of Museums is Temporarily Turned Off in China’s Key Cultural Hubs.

🏛 May 18th 2022 marks the 45th edition of International Museum Day, with the theme, “The Power of Museums”, celebrating museums’ “power to transform the world around us” according to the organizer ICOM. @icomofficiel

😷 Among the many disruptions, the schedules of international touring exhibitions have all been significantly affected: postponements, cancellations, and issues concerning ticketing, conservation, transportation and insurance etc., Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen account for nearly 80% of major international touring exhibitions in the country.

Exhibitions such as ‘The Territories of Water’ at the public-owned Museum of Art Pudong in Shanghai, co-organized by the François Schneider Foundation and Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac have closed, while the privately-owned Bund One Art Museum postponed the opening of ‘Botticelli and the Renaissance’, the inaugural exhibition in its five-year agreement with the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. In Beijing, the M Woods Museum shut ‘OK OK OK Bruce Nauman Solo Exhibition’ organized by Tate. It’s not only exhibitions at museums being cancelled, also those at high-end shopping malls, including two touring shows from the V&A, namely ‘Bags: Inside Out’ at Taikoo Li Sanlitun and ‘Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser’ at U2 Museum in Chaoyang Joy City.

💡The Power of Museums is Temporarily Turned Off in China’s Key Cultural Hubs.

😷 The current situation has raised many concerns and questions, especially, the endurability of private museums, who are particularly dependent on the income from ticketing sales of blockbuster exhibitions. For example, the most anticipated survey exhibition of the Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara, jointly with LACMA and Qatar Museums, was closed only 5 days after its opening. Sadly, “the power of museums” in the two most crucial cultural hubs are turned off for this International Museum Day. We wonder how and how soon will the Museum sector be recharged and empower its audience who have been cut off from cultural life for too long. @yuzmuseum @lacma @qatar_museums

😷However, the museums of Shanghai and Beijing amongst a few other cities in China, have lost their “power to transform the world around us” at least temporarily, due to the most stringent Covid lockdown restrictions. The latest Omicron wave in China, has impacted millions of citizens, let alone museums. From early March to date, museums and institutions in the Shanghai region have all remained shut, for 60+ days, postponing schedules. At the beginning of May, institutions in Beijing shuttered. Although the Shanghai government has announced an easing of restrictions in stages through June, there is no clear reopening date timetable.

#VOGUE➕JACKSONYEE April Issue

GUEST EDITOR Jackson Yee reinterpretates VoguePlus! The magazine has invited Chinese actor, dancer and singer Jackson Yee as the guest editor. He challenges the singular criteria to measure success through two two ficitional characters: Liu and Xie.

We are pleased to see Vogue Plus commissioned rock'n'roll visual artist Abdul Vas to echo with the storyline of the character Liu, who is with rock'n'roll spirit deep in his heart.

Abdul Vas was born in Venezuela, and now lives between Ho Chi Minh City and Madrid. Many of his artworks are influenced by music. "For me, painting is a way of making music. In my mind I see images that are transformed into small guitar riffs, then there is my unconscious, which gives me a series of sounds during the creative process. Each brushstroke is like a musical note that will be engraved on the canvas."

🇨🇳Museums in China’s key cultural hubs, such as Shanghai, have, since the 10th of March 2022, been forced shut due to the most rigorous lockdowns under the government’s zero-tolerance Covid policy. As the first major economy to initially recover from Covid in 2021, mainland China witnessed a dynamic and vibrant art scene, revitalised by over a hundred major international touring exhibitions in public and private museums, despite ongoing Covid restrictions. No doubt, the schedule of international touring exhibitions for 2022 has already been disrupted, but a brief review of 2021 will offer insights in to this sector in the the near future.

📍Where did the exhibitions take place?

Tier-1 cities is the answer. Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen hosted nearly 80% of the shows. The trend of engaging audiences in tier-2/3 cities (like Chengdu) has been growing, but Shanghai’s pre-eminent position is untouchable. Guangzhou, unlike its neighbour Shenzhen, is not yet one of the favoured destinations for international exhibitions in China. 70% of the exhibitions were in private museums, while the remaining 30%, in public museums, were larger in scale and of higher value.

❓Where did the exhibitions come from? What were the exhibitions? Which were more popular?

🇫🇷🇬🇧France and the UK ranked neck and neck at the top, followed by Japan, Italy and the US. Museums (e.g. Andy Warhol Museum and National Museum of Australia), artist studios (e.g. Gaetano Pesce Studio and Studio Ghibli), foundations (e.g. Pro Helvetia The Swiss Arts Council) and galleries (e.g. Galleria Continua and Hauser & Wirth) sourced these exhibitions. Frequent institutional lenders included the British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Centre Pompidou and Tate, while there were also newcomers or one-off lenders, such as Man Ray International Association.

#Insights 📈 Museums in China’s key cultural hubs, such as Shanghai, have, since the 10th of March 2022, been forced shut due to the most rigorous lockdowns under the government’s zero-tolerance Covid policy. As the first major economy to initially recover from Covid in 2021, mainland China witnessed a dynamic and vibrant art scene, revitalised by over a hundred major international touring exhibitions in public and private museums, despite ongoing Covid restrictions. No doubt, the schedule of international touring exhibitions for 2022 has already been disrupted, but a brief review of 2021 will offer insights in to this sector in the the near future.

We’ve classified these exhibitions into 5 categories , namely Modern and Contemporary Art, Design and Architecture, Classic and Antiquity, Multimedia, as well as Fashion. According to Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report 2022, sales in Greater China also saw significant growth of 35%, reaching $13.4 billion in 2021. The demand of modern and contemporary art was well reflected in the international touring exhibitions in the country. Over 60% of them were about Modern and Contemporary Art, such as ‘Joan Miró: Women,Birds,Stars’ at Shanghai’s Museum of Art Pudong and the largest solo exhibition by George Condo in Asia, ‘The Picture Gallery’ at Long Museum @thelongmuseum , in Shanghai West Bund. Such exhibitions will continue to occupy the dominant place in China’s landscape of art exhibition for years to come, but it’s worth noting the growing trend of presenting old masters and antiquity to Chinese audience. Apart from the British Museum’s ‘Rome: City and Empire’ at Suzhou Museum, V&A’s exhibition ‘Treasures from the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection‘ has been on a tour across the country 2021-2022 through the government agency Art Exhibitions China (AEC). The upward trend of such types of exhibitions will be further enhanced by the new alignment between Uffizi Gallery and the Bund One Art Museum, envisaging ten exhibitions in Shanghai over the next five years, debuting Botticelli and the Renaissance in 2022.
