URBAN ART SEASON
城市艺术季—广州国际公共艺术博览会
In the background of urban regeneration and human
city construction, the human value becomes more
requested as the 'engine'. Art can define the character and
show the warmth, the quality, the demand of cultural and
humanistic concerns of a city. As the first exhibition mainly
focuses on public art, I hope Guangzhou International
Public Art Fair can gather more excellent institutions and
art resources and construct unconstrained academic and
market communication platforms. Then it can promote
the spread and improvement of public art and provide
powerful support for urban regeneration and human city
construction.

SPEECHES FROM THE EXPERTS
OF ACADEMIC COMMITTEE
Contemporary public art should be regional emotion
extraction of human value, which is greatly related to urban
aesthetics and social civility. Guangzhou International
Public Art Fair built a new relationship between public
art and urban development, creating an unneglectable
effect of increasing the cultural influence of the named
'millennial business capital' Guangzhou and GuangdongHong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
-- Chen Ke
Professor and Director of School of Sculpture and
Public Art, Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts
The meaning of public art is not simply on the
expression of 'cognitive information’, which is more
important, on how to show the 'value' of city and how
to heal, cheer, nurture and change people, leading
the general public to pursue a better life. Guangzhou
International Public Art Fair can effectively attain the
integration between city and culture, culture and life, and
rejuvenate the wonder of the city.
-- Shen Kang
Director of School of Architecture and Applied
Arts, Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts
The professional public art exhibition is an essential
part for the whole society to see the existence of public
art. Guangzhou International Public Art Fair is the first
native public art exhibition in Guangzhou, which has a
great effect on the development of public art in the whole
society.
-- Pan Fen
Executive Curator of Pan He Art Gallery
Guangzhou International Public Art Fair provides
a new cultural purveyor for the communication and
development of the public art area, especially in the
