观唐艺术区｜首届艺术季「桃花源」
Guan Tang Art District
The First Art Season-Paradise on Earth
Explore the Ideal World of the Chinese
2018年9月15日，观唐艺术区首届艺术季「桃花源」开幕。这座隐藏于园林之中的美术馆以陶渊明的《桃花源记》为灵感策划首次大型群展，通过让艺术品从艺术空间回归日常生活和自然环境，「桃花源」探讨的是艺术与空间和人的互动关系。作为观唐艺术区的首届艺术季，「桃花源」可以说是艺术家们对“桃花源”这一中国人的理想世界的一次集体想象。隐秘的所在、出世的主题，观唐艺术区似乎有意不露声色地低调进入当代艺术界，以更加纯粹的态度参与艺术。
陶渊明的《桃花源记》中，渔人沿着一条桃林夹岸，落英缤纷的小溪发现了桃花源，而后复返却已无处可觅。由艺术家卢征远所策划的户外公共雕塑展则巧妙地在空间和动线的安排上暗合文本，从“寻迹”到“芳泽”再到“迷踪”，移步换景，步步深入。
On September 15, 2018, the first art season "Peach Blossom Spring" of Guantang Art District opened. This art museum hidden in a garden is inspired by Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" and plans its first large-scale group exhibition. By bringing art back to daily life and the natural environment from an artistic space, "Peach Blossom Spring" explores the interactive relationship between art, space, and people. As the first art season of the Tang Art District, the "Peach Blossom Garden" can be said to be a collective imagination of artists about the "Peach Blossom Garden", an ideal world for Chinese people. The Tang Dynasty Art District seems to intentionally enter the contemporary art world in a low-key manner, with a more pure attitude towards participating in art, with a hidden location and a theme of emergence.
In Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring", fishermen discovered the Peach Blossom Spring along a small stream lined with peach groves and colorful fallen petals, but when they returned, they found nowhere else to look. The outdoor public sculpture exhibition planned by artist Lu Zhengyuan cleverly blends the arrangement of space and flow with the text, from "seeking traces" to "blooming colors" and then to "lost tracks", changing scenery step by step and delving deeper.
