France| Mimosa Echard
Winner of the Marcel Duchamp Award 2022
Mimosa Echard
Mimosa Echard received this year's Marcel Duchamp Award. It is the most prestigious art prize in France, with a prize of €35,000 and funds for a solo exhibition at the Centre Pompidou. To raise the profile of French contemporary art abroad, this year's award also includes a residency in an American city of the winner's choice, offered by Villa Albertine.
Mimosa Echard was born in 1986 and lives and works in Paris, France. In 2010, he graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France. Her work has been exhibited in several internationally renowned institutions, such as the Lambert Foundation in Avignon, France; Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville, Paris, France; Palais de Tokyo, Paris, etc.
Mimosa Echard's work is inspired by a hybrid ecosystem in which living and non-living, human and non-human, coexist. Her work explores the realm of contact and contamination between organic matter and consumer goods – elements that can be seen as ambiguous and even contradictory through our cultural practices. Mindful of the vital character of objects, Mimosa Echard retains a constant curiosity about the elements and movements of objects that remain elusive in our minds. Her intellectual and malleable artistic path is infused into her daily creative materials in the studio through a sensory relationship, integrated into her works.
Mimosa Echard, "Escape More"
Mimosa Echarde conceived a fountain-like work for the Duchamp Prize called Escape more (Escape more, 2022), a "liquid painting" or "screen of desire" that produces a continuous visual flow reminiscent of the contradictory permeability of bodily fluids and biological boundaries. The work is currently on display at the Centre Pompidou and will run until 2 January, along with other shortlisted artists. (Finishing/Shōmachi)

Zhang Shouzhi, a Chinese ceramic art designer, educator and professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University, commented: "The high-temperature underglaze color of Hanguang porcelain is a historic leap in the underglaze color process of Chinese ceramics. ”

According to Mr. Li Youyu, the successfully developed "Magnolia Festival" utensils have a total of 50 servings, and another 20 servings are reserved, which can accommodate at least 50 people to eat at the same time. According to the characteristics of the contemporary state banquet meal system, each guest uses 40 pieces of porcelain artworks alone, which are mainly divided into three series: tableware, barware, coffee sets, etc. In view of the high requirements and high specifications of porcelain, Mr. Li Youyu led the establishment of an original design team of nearly 100 people, from creative design, art refining to craft production, after ten months of hard work day and night, the porcelain for the state banquet at the Expo was finally completed as scheduled.
"People have social attributes, and they are constantly developing and progressing in the cognitive process of social interaction and social interaction. The development and transformation of modern science and technology have provided great convenience for us to continuously improve the quality of life. However, we must also see a social reality that the social space for people-to-people communication and interaction is being squeezed by virtual cyberspace, leaving us without warm emotional communication and humanistic exchanges. At the opening ceremony of the Shanghai Hanguang Culture and Art Life Museum, Li Youyu said, "The establishment of the Shanghai Hanguang Culture and Art Life Museum is to transform the display of art creation into an art life museum that can be appreciated, experienced, and consumed with different value needs under the guidance of Hanguang culture, combining tradition and fashion, technology and art, health and life, leisure and entertainment, which are related to people's pursuit of high-quality life."

Yue Dong, an artist | Shanghai, China
Drawing on Yiti calligraphy, writing "The World is Worthy"
"The World is Worth - Yue Dong Writing Art Exhibition" was recently exhibited at Shanghai Shangrui Art Center (No. 389 Lianming Road).
Yue Dong was born in December 1975 in Tai'an, Shandong Province, and graduated from the School of Fine Arts of Nanjing Normal University in 2006 with a master's degree. He was an associate professor at the School of Fine Arts of Qufu Normal University. In 2013, he created an integrated art space in Shanghai. He is now a professional artist and lives in Shanghai. Most of the works on display are taken from the Qing Dynasty calligrapher Yi Bingshou, but the daily words and mischievous banters that come to the face show the fireworks of the world. "The status quo is indescribable, everything is possible", one social current event after another, transformed into the background of Yue Dong's text. His concern for the times and his thinking about reality prompted him to create with writing. Yue Dong said: "It should be noted that first of all, I don't mind the single style of writing, I just want to study Yi Bingshou's book style in depth for a long time. Secondly, I don't want to just write modest words, and strive to write more contemporary and life-like content. ”
Exhibition scene
The curator of the exhibition is Li Mingxuan, he said that seeing Yue Dong's calligraphy works earlier than Yue Dong himself, he once went to Suzhou to participate in an exhibition, and after the end went to a certain art museum to see the exhibition, he suddenly found an interesting and fun calligraphy exhibition, "Daji Dali eats chicken tonight, my life is up to me, thin is not obvious, semi-hidden, self-hilar, incredible, down-to-earth, don't make trouble, there is love, bubbling, Ollie gives...", let me instantly empathize and be planted. Chinese characters are written in a specific form that carries the Tao and can understand the gods, constructing a set of public philosophical symbols that make sense of the world. The Chinese character writing in Yue Dong's works is not only a kind of written symbol, but also an inner expression of his thoughts and cultural concepts, an external transformation of his inner spiritual world, and a symbol of wisdom full of fireworks. Words are like people, words are the voice of the heart. "Who are you, where do you come from, where are you going", "All beings are suffering, Paris Baguette", "Live, stand up", "The sea of stars", "The world is worth it"...

"22 Lectures on Contemporary Architecture" was published, interpreting classic cases of contemporary architectural practice
"22 Lectures on Contemporary Architecture" by Elie S. G. Haddad and David Rifkind, editors, Ideal Country Shanxi Education Publishing House 2022
Recently, Ideal Country and Shanxi Education Publishing House published the publication of architectural scholar Elie J. 22 Lectures on Contemporary Architecture, edited by G. Haddad and David Rifkind.
In the fifties and sixties of the 20th century, as modernists moved from consensus to strife, the field of architecture began to expand around the world. "22 Lectures on Contemporary Architecture" attempts to construct a globally pluralistic history of contemporary architecture from two dimensions: theory and case: on the one hand, the book systematically and thoroughly introduces the major emerging isms, popular trends and key architects in postmodern and contemporary architecture; On the other hand, based on the globalist vision, it leads readers to analyze the classic cases of contemporary architectural practice in more than 20 regions on 6 continents. The difference is that through a penetrating sense of historical criticism, this book not only expounds the style and materials, layout and details of architecture in simple terms, restores the immersive architectural scene, but also places the building in historical coordinates and contemporary context, and discusses where the ideas of architecture between different regions come from a deeper and current perspective, and what they ultimately point to, as well as the entanglement and involvement of contemporary architecture with sky (era), earth (space), and people (community).
The book's editor-in-chief, Elie M. G. Haddad is a Lebanese architectural scholar who received his Ph.D. in architecture from the University of Pennsylvania and has taught at the Lebanese American University (LAU) since 1994, where he has been dean of the School of Architecture and Design since 2012. David Rifkind, another editor-in-chief, is an American practicing architect and architectural scholar, who received his Ph.D. in architectural history and theory from McGill University, and is currently an associate professor in the School of Architecture and Art at Florida International University (FIU), and chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture + Environment and Urban Design, where he teaches architectural history and architectural theory.
