___________________

Landscape is actually a kind of visual effect, which is usually interpreted as a scene of a region. With the continuous expansion of human activities and the deepening of commercialisation, the landscape of human society has become intuitive or more visible to the naked eye. For example, overwhelming commercial propaganda and widespread dissemination of videos and images, landscapes are becoming more and more alienated and humans have completely lost their resistance to widespread images or expanded things. To be honest, the landscape is kind of “Deceit”. It deliberately tries to figure out people’s minds, gain people’s approval. The people who are willing to stay on the surface and do not intend to explore the essence are obviously more than before. Whether it is a “Concentrated Spectacle”, a “Diffuse Spectacle”, or an Integrated Spectacle, it is a means of domination in society. so, what or how is the new relationship between landscape and people today?

景观，其实就是某种视觉效果，通常被解释为一个地区的景象，随着人类活动的不断扩张，并且随着商业化的深入，人类社会的景观化也变得越来越直观，也就是越来越肉眼可见。比如铺天盖地的商业宣传，影像和图像形式的广泛传播，景观越来越趋于异化，人类对某种广泛扩张的来势汹汹的图像或者事物完全失去了抵抗力。实话说，景观完全是个幌子，它处心积虑地揣摩着人们的心思，获得人们的认同，而甘于停留于表象而无意探究本质的人在今天显然要比以往都要多。无论是集中的景观（Concentrated Spectacle）、弥散的景观（Diffuse Spectacle），还是综合的景观（Integrated Spectacle），都可谓社会中的统治手段。那么，如今景观和人的新关系到底如何？

Luo Mingjun, lives in Switzerland since 31 years. She is an artist who commutes between two different cultures. Previously, she obtained a complete academic education in Hunan province in China. In the early 1980s, when 85 New Wave has risen in China, young artists adopted the method of western contemporary art and applied “readymade products” to their works. Take a pioneering attitude, subvert or criticise the concepts of obsolete art. When she moved to Switzerland in 1987, during living and working in a foreign country, the inner conflict and anxiety of self-identity in the two different cultures became big subjects that the artist had to think about. Facing the transformation of ideology and cultural identity caused by two opposing cultural environments, she created an intermediate zone for her own dialogue and communication, a “Third Space”, or a “No Man’s Land” and got attention. Luo Mingjun will present the process and experience of her creation through the interpretation of some of her works in the lecture.

Li Wei, born in 1981 in Beijing, is a visual artist who currently lives and works in Beijing, China. He received his BA from the Sculpture department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2007. Lí Wei adopts a hyperrealistic style in his sculptures, focusing on conveying the emotions of the figures. The objective and clinical themes in Lí’s works reveal his doubts in human nature, and of humanity’s cruelty and ignorance. His work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions including Nobody Cares, Red Brick Art Museum, Beijing (2015); Peace, Primo Marella Gallery, Milan (2014); Hero, Today Art Museum, Beijing (2011). Currently he joins the exhibition “Mirrors – The Reflected Self” with the artwork “Hi” in Museum Rietberg in Zurich.

Marina Porobic, born in 1978 in Zagreb, Croatia, studied Art History and English Literature at the University of Lausanne. After an internship in the Louvre Museum in Paris, she was scientifique assistant to the director in the Centre Pasquart in Biel. Before becoming an independent curator for the Abbey Church in Bellelay in 2012, she worked for the Federal Office of Culture in Bern. Marina Porobic is auteur and editor of several artists books and articles.

讲座题目：身份

罗明君移居瑞士31年，是一位穿梭于两种不同文化的艺术家。之前在中国湖南接受了完整的学院式教育，上世纪八十年代初，中国新潮美术风起云涌时，年轻的艺术家便采用了西方现代艺术之法，将“现成品”运用于作品中。以先锋姿态，颠覆或批判陈旧的艺术观念。87年她移居瑞士，在异国他乡生活和工作时，两种不同文化内在的冲突与自我身份的焦虑，成为艺术家不得不思考的课题。面对两个相对立的文化环境所带来的意识形态与文化身份的转变， 她为自己创建了一个易于对话和交流的中间地带，一个“第三空间”，或者说一个“无人之地”而获得关注。罗明君将在讲座中通过对部分作品的解读让大家了解其创作的过程与心得。

Werner Oechslin is professor of art history and architecture at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH). Werner Oechslin’s contributions on the history of art and architecture from the 15th to the 20th century have been widely published. He specializes in the theory of architecture, in Baroque, modern architecture and in 18th century as well as in specific problems of architectural drawing and typology and of ephemeral architecture. He is the founder of the “Stiftung Bibliothek Werner Oechslin” in Einsiedeln, that organizes since 1999 the annual international Baroque summer course and publishes the bulletin „Scholion”.

The Library The library of the art and architectural historian Werner Oechslin consists of about 50000 books dating back over six centuries. The emphasis is on primary sources about architecture and architectural theory. Other important subjects related to architecture, such as philosophy, mathematics, art, archeology and history, are also well represented. It is conceived as a research library which reveals contexts in culture and the humanities. Thus it belongs to the tradition of those libraries which – through the presentation and placement of the books (in the sense of Kant’s ‘architectonic’ as an ‘art of the systems’) – represent a form of knowledge. The individual and the whole, the meaningful and the unusual all play equally important roles. The Foundation was established in 1998. Built according to plans drawn up by Mario Botta and Werner Oechslin’s ideas, the library was inaugurated in 2006 and since then has been open to researchers. According to the Foundation’s mission to make significant contributions to international research, conferences, symposia and colloquia are organized on a regular basis. The Foundation’s scholarly staff regularly cooperates closely with universities, particularly with the ETH Zurich which provides basic services and guarantees the library’s ties with research and teaching in its Department of Architecture.

Since its establishment in 1992, Galerie Urs Meile has contributed to the presentation and dissemination of contemporary art, from painting and sculpture to photography, installation and video. The gallery is working from two locations: Lucerne (Switzerland) and Beijing (China). While its center of operations is based in Switzerland, the Beijing gallery has established itself as an international meeting place for collectors, curators, artists and aficionados of the arts. Galerie Urs Meile was one of the first international galleries to focus on the Chinese art scene and has been working on an international level with Chinese artists since 1995.

麦勒画廊成立于1992年，一直致力于展示和传播当代艺术，涵盖绘画、雕塑、摄影、影像、装置，及行为等多种艺术创作形式。画廊在瑞士卢森和中国北京开展工作：管理中心位于瑞士，北京空间已成为收藏家、策展人以及艺术爱好者熟知的国际聚集场所。自1995年起，麦勒画廊进驻中国当代艺术界，可谓第一批较早深入探索中国当代艺术的国际画廊。

The Museum Rietberg owns one of Europe’s most important collections of Chinese art, with a focus on Buddhist sculpture, funerary art (bronzes, jades, ceramics), and painting from the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368–1911). The long-term loan of the world-famous Meiyintang Collection of Chinese ceramics has greatly added to its reputation.

Over more than five decades, the brothers Gilbert and Stephen Zuellig have brought together one of the most important private collections of Chinese ceramics in the world, which is known under the name Meiyintang, „Hall among Rosebeds‟. Through their life and their business in the Far East, they developed a wide-ranging passion for Asian art and culture. Around 1960 the brothers began to build a systematic collection of Chinese art. Gilbert Zuellig specialised in early ceramics from the Neolithic period through the Han and Tang dynasties to the Song dynasty (5th millennium BC to 1279) while Stephen collected porcelain of the later dynasties (Yuan, Ming and Qing).

For specialists and lovers of Chinese ceramics, but also for a wider audience it is a stroke of luck that the older part of the collection which was transferred to a foundation is now publicly accessible. The Meiyintang Foundation and the family of Gilbert Zuellig (1918–2009) have ensured that this eminent collection is maintained in its entirety by lending it to the Museum Rietberg as a long-term loan. In addition, the Foundation will cover the expenses incurred by the refurbishing of the China galleries. The existing rooms in the Emerald pavilion were completely rebuilt and redesigned over six months. For the presentation of the ceramics in floor-to-ceiling display cases, a novel exhibition concept was developed using LED luminaires thanks to which the different shapes and glazes of the ceramics are highlighted in an ideal way.
