The Xu Liaoyuan Museum of Modern Design Art (XLY MoMA), named after the renowned Chinese design artist Mr. Xu Liaoyuan, is located adjacent to the Shuijing Square in Sansheng Flower Township, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction in Chengdu, Sichuan. Officially opened to the public on September 20, 2007, it is a privately-owned museum dedicated to design and art. The museum complex covers an area of approximately 23 acres, with a construction area of nearly 7000 square meters.
The second phase of construction not only expands the scale but also refines the functional zoning. After adjustment, the first phase exhibition halls focus more on the professionalism of design display, while the second phase venues emphasize art exchange and experience. The additional facilities in the second phase include the Xu Liaoyuan Contemporary Art Museum, the Creative Warehouse Experience Center, the Art Exchange Center, the Art Store, the Clubhouse, the CafĂ©, and the Simple Hall Design Studio, integrating exhibition functions with art exchange, design development, academic discussion, and art sales. The meticulously designed layout provides visitors with an unforgettable journey through life and art.The ‘2021 Visual Theater Biennale’, also known as the second Xu Liaoyuan Museum of Modern Design Art Biennale, grandly opened this autumn. On October 23, the Xu Liaoyuan Museum will present a visual feast jointly created by over 80 Chinese and international artists. The exhibition features more than 100 works, including painting, installation, sculpture, digital photography, floral art, and video in various forms.
The exhibition aims to utilize all media and all spaces to create a new sensibility. ‘All media’ refers to unrestrained media and expression, while ‘all spaces’ means presentation without domain boundaries. ‘New sensibility’ is the purest physical perception of the beauty that art brings to life. This exhibition continues the museum’s characteristic of ‘deviating from the norm and refusing explanation’, offering only basic artwork information without excessive textual interpretation, allowing viewers to use their raw feelings and let their imaginations soar. As critic Mr. Qiu Xiaolin mentioned in the preface to the exhibition, ‘Please let us see. We reject the magicians of art concepts and the priests of art criticism, and we insist on our right to judge for ourselves in the face of those who pretend to be divine.’ The original intention of the establishment of the Xu Liaoyuan Museum Biennale is to promote the original force of Chinese art and design, to let the world see China, and to let China go to the world, achieving mutual selection and equal exchange. At the same time, it actively participates in international dialogue, bringing audiences cutting-edge art and design works, and promoting urban renewal and cultural output in Chengdu.
