Burrell Collection to host Chinese block buster
26 March 2008
The Scotsman reports that Xiang Silou, Professor at the Fine Arts Institute of Sichuan Normal University and an outstanding woodblock artist, will take up a month-long residency at Glasgow’s Burrell Collection.
During the visit several of his large-format woodblock prints will go on display and he will create a new print inspired by the collection, which includes one of the most important assemblies of Chinese art and artefacts in Britain. Additionally, Xiang Silou will deliver a series of workshops and lectures.
The event is being organised in conjunction with the Ricefield Arts Centre in Glasgow, where he exhibited two years ago, and which is involved in promoting exchanges between Scottish and Chinese artists.
