The hall is a transparent dome building with a height of18m, and the audience leisure area is in the middle. The exhibition hall of the main hall is 12m high, with an area of 288m2, and the east and west compartments are * * * 262m2, with a total area of 550m2. The Islamic Exhibition Hall has two floors with a total area of 260 square meters, mainly displaying Chinese paintings.
No.7 Daxue Road, the "Gaomen Courtyard" surrounded by yellow tile red walls, is a pavilion and palace surrounded by celebrities' former residences. This excellent architectural community, which was founded in 1930s, will open its own new history within a few days after the changes of the former "Wanzihui", the former Qingdao Library and the former Qingdao Museum. On June 15, 2006, an independent Qingdao Art Museum will officially open here, stepping out of its growing footprint.
Since 2002, with the development of economy, the art market has expanded rapidly, which has promoted the radial development of fine arts and art throughout the country. Colleges and universities have set up fine arts colleges one after another, and various cultural and artistic exhibitions have increased greatly. At that time, although the art galleries under Qingdao Cultural Expo Center actively held some influential art exhibitions, and various small and medium-sized exhibition venues in our city also diverted more and more artistic activities, more and more influential professional and comprehensive exhibitions put forward higher and higher requirements for the facilities and independent operation of the art exhibition hall.
Therefore, with the joint efforts of relevant parties, a Qingdao professional art museum with independent identity, high level of facilities and well-planned development was quickly put on the agenda and put into practice. According to Qi Hao, deputy director of Qingdao Art Museum, "At that time, the original site of the museum was vacant, waiting for the function to be updated, and it was adjacent to the university area, surrounded by many celebrities' former residences. It is the traditional cultural center of Qingdao. The "old house" located at No.7 Daxue Road has a history of more than 70 years, and it has been identified as the location of the newly-built Qingdao Art Museum. "
The newly registered Qingdao Art Museum set high standards and long-term plans for itself at the beginning of its construction. Functionally, it has expanded from graphic exhibition to various three-dimensional exhibitions, including modern art exhibition, sculpture exhibition, installation exhibition and comprehensive design exhibition, which not only fills the gap that Qingdao has no independent professional art museum, but also becomes a modern art exhibition hall with long-term development space.
"Our lighting, display panels, temperature control and other systems are the best in the province." Qi Hao has great confidence in the hardware facilities of the art museum. "Not only that, but also the security measures are first-class. Camera monitoring, fire prevention and theft prevention are all equipped with advanced means. "
As an "old house" with a history of more than 70 years, it was officially approved by the State Council as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. On the perfection of function, it puts forward a new task for the art museum: not only to protect the original structure, but also to organically integrate modern facilities. "After many investigations and demonstrations, we finally gave the best solution from a professional perspective." Xue Bo, from the Exhibition Department of the Art Museum, said, "For example, for a large number of exhibition panels, we adopt the movable track suspension design, which can not only combine and divide the space at will, but also push all the exhibition panels to the warehouse to make room when holding a three-dimensional exhibition of designs and installations."
The "old house" also embodies its own "uniqueness". In the magnificent palace-style exhibition hall in central China, Qi Hao pointed to the 7-meter-high exhibition stand and said, "The height of the exhibition board is enough to cope with most giant graphic works. An old house has the advantages of an old house. The height of this space ranges from plane to three-dimensional, and it can display various artistic works with different creative techniques and categories. Look at other art galleries! "
On the occasion of the opening of the Art Museum, the 2006 China Painter Nomination Exhibition, sponsored by China Art Museum and Qingdao Municipal People's Government and undertaken by Qingdao Art Museum and Qingdao Flower and Bird Painting Research Institute, will be held at the same time. Holding such a high-standard exhibition is not only a celebration, but also a gesture of building a new Qingdao Art Museum. "From the opening day, we will establish our own height in the art world. In layman's terms, there is a' threshold'. " Qi Hao introduced that this nomination exhibition is a weather vane. Since then, a number of high-level art exhibitions from various provinces and cities, the whole country and even many parts of the world will be gradually launched. "Although it has not been officially opened, our exhibition this year has been scheduled to 10."
During the large-scale exhibitions and between exhibitions, the Municipal Art Museum will also intersperse some small exhibitions, including personal paintings and calligraphy, special works of art from mainland China, Hongkong and Taiwan Province, and the works of some famous domestic artists. These, the art museum will comprehensively consider the artistic influence and academic value, and carry out the "high threshold" check.
"Professional exhibitions should have a' high threshold', but the threshold should be lowered for the general public and even a' zero threshold' for special groups such as the elderly and students." Qi Hao explained, "After all, it is a non-profit organization and should be service-oriented. This sense of service should be innovative. Now we have considered setting up a copying area for art colleges and art lovers, and opening a tea room and a book bar outside the exhibition area to provide various services for the audience. "
For art institutions and artists who come to hold exhibitions, the Municipal Art Museum will also provide professional follow-up services, including providing workshops, arranging publishing and entertainment activities in the central patio, and setting up leisure areas to make them feel at home. Ou Yumin, deputy secretary of the Municipal Art Museum, said that the positioning of the Municipal Art Museum is to build a permanent art institution. "In the future, we will strive to create more opportunities for Qingdao's artistic creation team to express themselves and develop themselves, and make the art museum an important platform for artistic exchange. Then, a good sense of service is the fundamental guarantee. "
At the end of 20 13, Qingdao Art Museum joined hands with Shandong Collection Network to launch "Qingdao Art Museum-Never Ending Art Exhibition", making full use of the advantages of the network platform, expanding the influence of the Art Museum and better serving the art cause of Qingdao.
