Dear all,
Many thanks indeed to all of you who joined us online for our conversation with Xiang Biao, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Oxford. Due to unprecedented demand, most were unable to join on zoom which has a limitation of 100 participants. Demand was so high that even the participants had difficulty entering the waiting room which delayed proceedings by approximately 15 minutes. Thankfully, the screen was shared via the Chinese live streaming service BiliBili （哔哩哔哩）and circa 16,000 people were able to watch via this platform. As such, the zoom group will henceforth be limited only to participants and associatesof the Centre for Chinese Visual Arts whilst everyone else is most welcome to join us via BiliBili via the following link which is valid for all future sessions: http://live.bilibili.com/22288382
Just a reminder that all sessions take place on Saturdays 9 am UK time and 4pm China time, lasting approximately 1 hour.
The next conversation will be between Professor Joshua Jiang, Birmingham City University and Zhang Peili, an artist and Professor and the China Academy of Art Hangzhou and Director of OCAT Shanghai.
Please see below for Zhang Peili’s biography and a reminder of our future sessions.
Best wishes,
Lauren Walden.
亲爱的朋友们：
你们好！
在此非常感谢你们参加上周六我们与牛津大学社会人类学教授项彪的线上研讨会。由于活动反响热烈，而Zoom会议参加人数限制为100人，因此大多数人无法加入Zoom线上会议。即便是会议参与者都难以进入Zoom线上等待室，会议延迟了大约15分钟开始。但值得庆幸的是，研讨会通过中国视频网站“哔哩哔哩”直播共享，大约有16,000人通过该平台观看了此次研讨会。因此，Zoom会议此后将仅限于中国视觉艺术中心（CCVA）的学生与同事，同时也非常欢迎其他朋友们通过以下的哔哩哔哩链接加入我们，该链接在以后的所有活动中均有效：http://live.bilibili.com/22288382
温馨提醒，所有会议都将在每周六英国时间上午9点，中国时间下午4点举行，活动时间大约为1个小时。
本周六我们将邀请伯明翰城市大学的姜节鸿教授与中国美术学院教授，OCAT上海馆执行馆长，艺术家张培力展开线上研讨。

THE WORLD, TWO METERS AWAY: CCVA COVID-19 SPECIAL SEMINAR SERIES
At the end of 2019, or the beginning of 2020, when the coronavirus first emerged, Wuhan became the first city worldwide affected by this deadly disease. It then rapidly spread to the entire country, and further on to Europe, America and the rest of the world. Restrictions of travel, instructions of keeping social distance, and finally the lockdown of districts, towns and cities were enforced to help slow down its transmission. We are all facing this challenge of experiencing life at distance of two meters away from others.
In light of the global coronavirus crisis and the unprecedented scale of disruption it has caused, this series of virtual research seminars explores the role of contemporary arts and related fields through critical and creative discussions surrounding present-day experiences, aiming to assist future community building and cross-cultural understanding. This seminar series provides an urgent platform to obtain first hand materials of participants’ experiences, perceptions and reflections on the pandemic. This collaboration between the Centre for Chinese Visual Arts (CCVA), Birmingham City University and the Academy for International Visual Arts (AIVA), Shanghai invites leading figures in the subject areas of anthropology, architecture, art, art museums, curating, design, film and photography from the Chinese-speaking world and different intellectual perspectives. Seminar discussions will explore a myriad of relevant issues stemming from the pandemic including the notions of distance and spatialisation, separation and isolation, communication and mobility, discipline and surveillance, and community and collectiveness. Our eight distinguished guests will contribute in the series of weekly seminars starting from 6 June (Saturday) 2020. These screen-recorded interviews will also be edited and subtitled as documentary available online to a wider audience.
This seminar series forms part of a wider response to the Covid-19 epidemic by CCVA which also includes a special conference and journal edition on the subject, details of which can be found here: https://www.bcu.ac.uk/research/-centres-of-excellence/centre-for-chinese-visual-arts/conferences. We hope that many of the conversations hosted as part of the seminar series will in turn, be published in Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art(Intellect) in order to provide a polyvocal archive of lived experience of speakers from both academic and practice-based backgrounds.

两米以外的世界：CCVA新冠疫期特别研讨系列
2019年的年末岁初，新型冠状病毒来袭，武汉成为了世界上第一个承受了这种疫病之灾的城市。病毒很快也影响了整个中国，又在随后的几个月里，迅速侵袭了欧洲、美国及世界的其他国家和地区。旅行限制、保持社交距离的指令，以及最终对省市的封锁都在强制阻断疾病的传播。我们正经历着一种与他人保持两米以上距离的特殊日常。
鉴于新型冠状病毒在全球范围内造成的严重破坏，此次系列线上研讨将就疫期经验进行批判性和创造性讨论，进而探索当代艺术、文化及相关领域在当下扮演的角色，旨在协助未来的社区建设和跨文化理解。此次系列研讨会将为疫期经验的观察思考以及信息、资料的收集提供一个及时有效的平台。伯明翰城市大学中国视觉艺术中心（CCVA）与上海AIVA国际视觉艺术教育合作邀请了来自中文世界的诸位嘉宾，包括人类学、建筑、艺术、美术馆、策展、设计、电影和摄影，从不同专业角度共同参与研讨。研讨会将探讨由流行性疾病引起的众多相关问题，比如距离与空间化、分散与隔离、交流与迁移、训诫与监控、以及社区与集体等多重的概念。从2020年6月6日（星期六）开始，我们的八位评论嘉宾将加入每周一次的系列线上研讨。录制的视频影像也将在编辑后配以字幕呈献于互联网广大观众。
此次系列研讨会将与今年同一主题的特别年会和期刊共同组成CCVA对此次新冠疫情的学术响应。我们希望借此次系列研讨展开诸多对话，遴选编辑后在我们的学术刊物《中国当代艺术研究》上发表，让来自不同学术和实践背景的发言者们提供多样化的经验记录。有关年会和期刊的更多详情请见：https://www.bcu.ac.uk/research/-centres-of-excellence/centre-for-chinese-visual-arts/conferences
