Welcome to the 11th edition of the Chinese European Art Center\u2019s beloved Rolling Snowball international contemporary art exhibition, also the 5th here in Dj\u00fapivogur, Iceland, which we proudly and gratefully present in partnership with the municipality of Dj\u00fapivogur for the 5th consecutive year.\r\n\r\nAs many of you know, it is in CEAC\u2019s nearly 20 years of tradition not to set a thematic curatorial frame to the Rolling Snowball exhibitions other than the event itself. And this year is no exception. Again, in organizing this event, we strive to preserve a degree of spontaneity and informality, which we hold dear and with a touch of nostalgia in today\u2019s increasingly commodified world of art.\r\n\r\nThe eclectic selection of this exhibition features the works of many artists who have completed fruitful residencies with CEAC atits base on the tropical island of Xiamen in South China. Some have participated in previous Rolling Snowball exhibitions in very different contexts. Among these works by contemporary artists, one will also find the creations of their precursors from the recent past, who are no longer with us but whose work\u2019s may continue to inspire, surprise and fascinate us.\r\n\r\nWhat\u2019s more, thanks to CEAC\u2019s long-time friend and partner, the Hafnia Foundation, we also enjoy the rare opportunity to explore the imagery of China\u2019s 70s and 80s through the Foundation\u2019s extensive collection of original propaganda posters, known as one of the largest of its kind in the world.\r\n
\r\nWith such a vast range of images, objects and performances on offer, it is our wish for this occasion to be one in which each and every piece of work by this diverse collection of \r\nartists may be viewed in its own right. That is to say, we wish that the viewer may encounter the work with a minimal intervention on our part and come to their own conclusions about the individual artworks and relations between them as a whole. Ultimately, isn\u2019t creativity essentially the act of \u201cconnecting the dots\u201d in one\u2019s own unique and original ways?\r\n
\r\nHere in Dj\u00fapivogur, Iceland, we again gather on this legendary land blessed with its unique blend of civilization and awe-inspiring nature, away from the madding crowds, to be in the company of friends old and new and to share with one another stories, experiences and ideas from places that, while perhaps far away, are still close to the heart.\r\n
\r\nFinally, it is our hope that the glorious literary tradition of this land of seafarers and travellers will inspire us, visitors and residents alike, to continue to travel and to use art -auniversal language we all speak – to tell stories both of our individual lives and our shared humanity.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
