CAUSA/BAXTER& Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden intervention (2) . . . & . . .

. . . & . . . on bEhalf of CAUSA, further in4mation about a forthcoming intervention @ thE Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden in Vancouver . . . & . . . :

A MARCO POLO BRIDGE:

IAIN BAXTER&: VENICE /

SUZHOU / VANCOUVER

As the first European to have visited Suzhou (in 1276), Marco Polo was positioned to make the first “Occidental” report concerning the now world-famous classical Chinese garden traditions in that city. From June 1 to November 30, 2013, as a link to Venice/Suzhou cross-cultural conjunctions, the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden (Vancouver) will be temporarily inflected by a changing series of textual inscriptions – as introduced by visiting artist IAIN BAXTER&, in collaboration with guest research curators from CAUSA (Collective for Advanced and Unified Studies in the Visual Arts).

The BAXTER&/CAUSA exhibition scheme at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden will present expanding points of reference in relation to the 55^th Venice Biennale International Art Exhibition (June 1 – November 24, 2013). This year’s Venice Biennale theme, The Encylopedic Palace, will become enlarged by way of previously unexplored approaches to a particular topic of CAUSA inquiry – Observation & Reflection.

BAXTER&’s unfolding project has continuously defined a long-standing commitment to the theme of identity and environment, with an emphasis on interactions between the “natural landscape” and its contrasting outgrowth, the “landscape of information”. Thematic development of a new BAXTER&/CAUSA exhibition in Vancouver will gradually develop (from Summer to Winter) through contemporary dynamics of aesthetic theory and practice, located within the classical Chinese Garden tradition itself.
