In this setting the ancient literati figure is not only a simple cultural element, but a symbolic carrier of spirituality…" --------------------- 桃源纪》—— 杨泳梁 “桃花源”是中国历史上一个很特殊的文化象征符号,它象征着中国古代文人精神中逃避现实的理想隐居处所。这个“居所”最早在出现在东晋陶渊明的《桃花源记》中,它是一个既不存在于过去也不存于现在,而存在于 中国古代文人内心世界的精神避难所,表达古代文人批判现实的厌世情绪。随着现代社会的日益快速发展, 被物质占有的消费主义慢慢取代人类的精神世界,千篇一律的钢筋混凝土建筑取代碧绿的原始森林,人类的道德底线为了物质正在沦丧的同时,我相信这个“桃花源”同样出现在每一个生活于城市中有良知的现代人的潜意识里。…… Art Gwanju (Korea) art fair 31.08.2011 - 04.09.2011 in conjunction with the Gwanju Biennale curated by Ai Wei Wei Gwangju, the city of human rights and the Gwangju Biennale, is the home of a new international art fair, Art Gwangju.
