Vancouver is one of North America’s most important gateways to Asia and now has one of the fastest growing Asian populations in the world. This fall, to better reflect the communities that we serve, the Vancouver Art Gallery’s Institute of Asian Art launches Tan Yishu, a Mandarin-language lecture series of art talks.
To kick off the series, Zheng Shengtian, Adjunct Director of the Institute of Asian Art, will speak to the history of presenting and collecting art from Asia at the Vancouver Art Gallery, while providing larger context for art encounters between Asia and the city of Vancouver from the 1980s to the present.
溫哥華是北美通往亞洲最重要的門戶之一，現今也是亞洲人口增長最快的城市。為了響應社區，今年秋季溫哥華美術館亞洲藝術館推出了一系列以中文講授的藝術講座『談藝術』。作為系列的開場，溫哥華美術館亞洲藝術館總監鄭勝天先生將漫談本館亞洲展覽和亞洲藝術收藏史，以及從80年代至今亞洲和溫哥華市之間豐富的藝術交流事蹟。
Free for Members or with Gallery admission. Registration required.
