The University Museum and Art Gallery collaborates with Chen Xi on the exhibition Chen Xi: So We Remember. This catalogue accompanies the exhibition. The paintings illustrate important events that have shaped our modern world. The artist created this series of contemporary images to commemorate, to document and to provoke thought. The show presents her preliminary pen and watercolour drawings along with the finished oil paintings. Meticulous in her research and true to both the documented incident and the domestic details, Chen Xi creates historical paintings for our present and future generations. Her method directly relates to contemporary life and to a society that is informed and influenced by modern-day media. Interestingly, the painter does not simply depict a historic event, but frames within a TV screen each episode of her sequential and international narrative. By presenting the paintings within the TV’s glass, they become screen shots linked to a specific moment in time and s

高駢（822–887）不單是中古時期河內（交趾）要塞的建造者，亦於唐代邊境地區建立了大規模防禦及交通建設，是中越兩地於軍事、政治、思想史上傑出的人物。他一方面是具有感召力的軍事、政治領袖；同時好學而好奇，對道教尤其耽味，好玄秘之術；另一方面更是有才情的詩人。高駢在加速唐朝滅亡和越南自主政權的建立中，均擔任關鍵的角色，這使後世對高駢的評價褒貶並存；甚至在生時已被奉為神明。另高駢於其幕府內亦網羅了一些卓越的文人，這亦有助提升其名望。高駢晚年於淮南割據一方；後來唐亡而五代興──這亦正是自安史之亂以後藩鎮割據局面的頂峰。Gao Pian (822–887), the architect of the medieval citadel of Hanoi and of large-scale defensive and communication works in several frontier regions of China, is a towering figure in the military, political, and intellectual history of both countries. A charismatic governor and commander, inclined to the occult arts of strategy, he was a man of wide learning and curiosity, with a strong attraction to Daoism, as well as a talented poet. In turn reviled and revered, for his pivotal roles in hastening both the end of the Tang and the emergence of Vietnam, Gao Pian became the object of local cults in his own lifetime. The presence of prominent literati on his staff contributed to this renown. At the end of his career, Gao laid the found
