講座摘要：

While the city and the celebration of urban culture have been at the centre of Mainland China’s development over the last three decades, recent policies have emphasised the need to redevelop the countryside. These policies, generally referred to as “beautiful countryside” and “reviving the country though culture,” are starting to have an impact locally in many rural counties. The example of Hangzhou’s China Academy of Art and its teaching complex in the mountains of Fujian is a perfect example of the art education schemes that have benefitted from these policies. The limitations of such top-down endeavours however can be revealed by comparison with the bottom-up projects launched by artists in the countryside of Taiwan and Hong Kong. Taiwan remains to this day one the Asia’s most active scenes for socially engaged art practices, even though Hong Kong is starting to see the emergence of an equally active field. In a setting that is identified only as urban by the general public, several Hong Kong artists and activists dealing with social engagement have explored alternative ways of life in the rural New Territories. This lecture looks at the two widely different environments of Mainland China and Hong Kong to try to understand how they vary and what the consequences are for local art practitioners and audiences.
