Arrival Beijing

ByLaraine Armenti, visual artist
ARTIST RESIDENCY CHINA — BEIJING, no. 2

hotel, 01

Today is my first day at the Inside Out Art Museum in Beijing, China. Travel and settling in was easy and identical to any international city. Everyone is patient with my lack of language skills. Written directions in Chinese, that I prepared in advance, are mandatory for taxis. At the end of a long process of arriving, it was a pleasure to encounter friends in the museum.

    Catastrophe

    ByLaraine Armenti, visual artist

    ARTIST RESIDENCY CHINA — BEIJING, no. 5 Imagine tours of Buckingham Palace and Versailles leading to graveyards of empty space, vestiges of devastation caused by invading foreign armies. In China, that place is Yuanmingyuan, the Old Summer Palace in Beijing. Its annihilation in 1860 by the Anglo-French and American belligerents against the Qing dynasty feels recent. Instead of reveling in 18th & early 19th century architecture, design, furniture, gardens, and vast ornamentation of human imagination,…

    Arrival Shanghai

    ByLaraine Armenti, visual artist

    ARTIST RESIDENCY CHINA — SHANGHAI, no. 27 There are few more evocative city names in the world than Shanghai. When Wang visited me in Beijing, he urged me not to leave China without seeing his city. The first day was a long one beginning at 4:30 a.m. Wang’s colleague Mr Li continued his generosity toward me by personally driving me the hour long ride to the airport. After a two-hour delay due to weather, the…

    Shanghai Tower

    ByLaraine Armenti, visual artist

    ARTIST RESIDENCY CHINA — SHANGHAI, no. 35 Three days after arrival, following an unexpected bus trip to Hangzhou, I was finally able to see Shanghai. My colleague Wang assigned a new chaperone to me from his student pool. Mr Li’s daughter Jaiyi met me at my hotel lobby where we coordinated our plan for the day: her list, my list, and Wang’s list. First on his list was the Museum of Contemporary Art, located in…

    Bus Trip

    ByLaraine Armenti, visual artist

    ARTIST RESIDENCY CHINA — ZHEJIANG, no. 28 My arrival in Shanghai coincided with a previously scheduled trip of Wang’s colleagues and students from the Shanghai University Architecture and Painting departments. They graciously included me in their plans to view the China Academy of Art Thesis Exhibitions in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province, a three hour drive north of Shanghai.

    Yiheyuan—New Summer Palace, 3

    ByLaraine Armenti, visual artist

    ARTIST RESIDENCY CHINA — BEIJING, no. 8 The view from the top of Longevity Hill of the roof peak of the Guanyin Buddha Temple would seem to be the natural end of a tour of Yiheyan — New Summer Palace — in Haidian, Beijing. But wait, there’s more. Much more. A series of Indian-style temples stack up and over the ridge descending to the North Gate. At the bottom is Suzhou Market Street, originally built…
