Dutch art exhibition in CEAC Xiamen University

friday, 28 Nov ,2008

An invitation made it possible for me to see two exhibitions from dutch artists in CEAC , Xiamen University.

one is ‘Sweet and Sour', painting exhibition from Jaring Lokhorst and Chantal Spit . They use diffferent material and display style to express the world , I was really freezed at the first sight , look at the pictures...

I met them at the exhibition and asked them for their signature , it is out of my expectation, they wrote on card against the back of each other for me. you can see the interesting pictures here and with their signature . I was almost in a sudden asking them for a cup of coffee to our hotel( Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen) any time , they were surprised and very happy. So far I am still waiting for their coming.

The other one is phtopgraphy exhibition called 'Het Lente-eiland'---'the spring island', which directly means gulangyu island. I love photograph very much , and those pictures gave me lots of inspiration . I did not have a chance to see the artist Marco van Duyvendijk, but I am for sure to invite him to Millennium Xiamen Hotel for a cup of coffee if I see him... I like the colour he perceived , and I was also taking some pictures at the spot as the CEAC environment attracted me to . I will show in the next post , not to compare with the master level.

CEAC is Chinese Eurapean Art Center. Ineke is the Director, since 1999, she has been working on the center in Xiamen , making a lot of effort to bring Eurapean art to Xiamen , a great ambassador , I can say.

Second touch on Master class of conductor concert in Xiamen

Have the second chance to listen to the master class of conductor's concert on 22nd Nov, filled with Beethoven's passion , and I want to say , thank you Xiamen Philharmonic Orchestra, thank you , Zheng Xiao Ying.


From now on, I feel to have more time spending on concert , totally different from any stereo system in your home . Xiamen Philharmonic is the first class in China , even invited in some important occasions in the world . And the soul of Xiamen Philharmonic is Zheng Xiao Ying , she is just glamorous and admirable . A great orchestra derived from a great conductor , I strongly believe.

As Zheng Xiao Ying's saying, this first China Master Class opened in Xiamen is mainly because of her partner ,conductor Fu Ren Chang , the vice Director of Xiamen Philharmonic. He has good relations with great conductor teachers in the world and since April 2005 he was appointed as principal conductor by 'das sinfonie orchester berlin'. He is one of those musicians who can conduct in the famous Philharmonie Hall Berlin. I met him for the first time in Millennium Harbourview Hotel Xiamen when Prof. Panula stayed in Millennium Xiamen, he was such a man of scholars ,homour and passion for music.


The master class concert is over, but the passion has just begun ...
