sitLocated on Yantai Mountain, the century old Western style building "Lequn Building" was first built in 1854. Recently, with the new appearance of the "Daguan Art Museum", it welcomed a special art exhibition called "Jian Jing". This ancient building, which once witnessed colonial history and existed as a "club of nations," has now transformed into an art space open to the public, inviting visitors to engage in a dialogue with history and meet themselves through an art exhibition that deeply focuses on inner emotions.

Rebirth of Architecture/Space healing from 'solo music' to 'group music'

Lequnlou, as a silent witness to the historical changes of Yantai Mountain, was once a microcosm of a heavy history and a place for foreigners to socialize and enjoy themselves. After careful renovation and functional reconstruction, it has now transformed into the "Grand View Art Museum", dedicated to integrating history, art, and public aesthetics. The building itself has undergone a profound transformation from closed to open, from "solo music" to "group music". Its mottled brick walls, arch corridors, and old wooden floors have become unique containers for carrying collective memories and personal narratives.

Exhibition Core/Using art as a mirror, diving into the depths of emotions

The core theme of this exhibition is "seeing the environment", derived from the concept of "seeing is healing". The exhibition gathers 103 artworks from around the world, aiming to guide viewers to use art as a periscope, diving into the depths of emotions, and visualizing and objectifying those indescribable inner feelings. The curator emphasizes that here, art is not decoration, but rather a bridge for viewers to achieve self understanding and inner peace.

The interweaving of history and the present/Feeling emotional flow in memory carriers

The uniqueness of the exhibition lies in the deep dialogue between the works and the historical architectural space itself. Works that focus on healing, such as' Ice Burning 'and' Xirong ', have been deliberately placed in this building filled with traces of time. The serene narrative of historical space and the intuitive expression of contemporary emotional art are intertwined, creating a unique field where the audience can not only touch the pulse of history, but also see the flow and reality of their own emotions while strolling. Space doesn't speak, but it tells countless stories; The painting is silent, yet it reflects a variety of emotions.

Advocate for 'healing as a daily routine'/Everyone can become a 'life curator'

The exhibition adheres to the universal concept of "healing is not exclusive to experts" and advocates "healing is daily life". It encourages every audience member to embark on a journey of self reflection and expression through artistic observation and potential creation, thus becoming the "curator" of their own life. The function of art healing has thus moved beyond the traditional exhibition hall framework, attempting to integrate into every moment of daily life that one is willing to stop, feel, and express.

From the historical echoes of 'Yuequn' to the current introspection of 'Jian Jing', this ancient building has always been exploring deep connections with people. This exhibition is not only an art exhibition, but also a comprehensive experience about historical transformation, spatial narrative, and inner healing. It reminds us that healing in sight and rebirth in creation are possibilities accessible to everyone.
