在开幕式上，大韩民国驻广州总领事馆韩在爀总领事致辞提到：“此前，由于新冠疫情防疫，两国文化交流受到影响，因此一直翘首期盼着中韩美术作品交流。从这个意义上讲，我认为此次中韩美术交流展是展现通过美术拓宽两国文化艺术理解维度信心的成果。本次交流展的韩国美术作品先前在北京展出，引起了热烈反响，这次不远万里来到岭南美术教育摇篮，在广州美术学院及各方的努力下，得以与中国和岭南具代表性的艺术家作品一同展出，共同搭建了中韩交流的桥梁，这非常令人感动且意义深远。”

Han Jae Heuk, Consul General of the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Guangzhou, said in his speech at the opening ceremony, "In a situation where culturalexchanges between South Korea and China were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a great thirst for art exchanges between the two countries. In this sense, I think this exhibition is the result of broadening mutual understanding of both countries’culture and art. Works by South Korean artists were previously exhibited in Beijing and received a good response. They are now exhibited together with representative works of artists from China and Lingnan thanks to the efforts of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, the cradle of Lingnan art education, and other parties concerned. These art works jointly build a bridge for exchanges between China and South Korea. This is very impressive and meaningful."

韩方策展人崔安娜在开幕式上进行线上致辞及作品导赏，她提到：“此次展览展出了在媒体艺术、摄影、影像表演、绘画等多个领域活跃在世界各地的6名韩国现代美术家。通过展示他们同时代美术愿景的作品，可以同时展现1980年代以后韩国现代美术的活力、现代性和传统性, 确认艺术家的认同感。期待通过此次中韩会晤的这种文化交流平台，激发两国新的艺术灵感。”

"This exhibition presents six modern Korean artists globally active in media art, photography, image performance and painting." said the Korean curator Choi Anna, who delivered an online speech and guided tour of their works at the opening ceremony. "Their artworks reflect contemporary art vision, celebrate the vitality, modernity and tradition of modern Korean art after the 1980s and define the identities of the artists. We hope that, through cultural exchange platform like this, artists from both China and South Korea will be inspired to create more new artworks."

中方策展人陈晓阳进行现场致辞及导赏，她讲到：“本次展览的参展艺术家都是在两国当代艺术领域具代表性的当代艺术家。他们大多都有现代美术学院教育的经历，从这些作品中会看到东亚传统与全球化影响缠绕交织在他们的艺术思想、媒介选择和个人风格中。他们不只需要对当下的现实世界做出敏锐判断与深刻表达，还需要解决面对自身文化属性时的选择与建构，东亚传统中的山水、器道、物我之辩一直或隐或显在两国艺术家的思考与探索里。”

Chinese curator Chen Xiaoyang delivered a live speech and guided tour. She said, "The artists participating in this exhibition are pioneering artists in the field of contemporary art from China and South Korea. Most of them have received educationin a modern art academy. Their artistic ideas, choice of media and personal styles reflect the intertwining of East Asian traditions and globalization. Apart from making keen judgments about the real world we live in and manifesting such judgments in a profound manner, the artists also deal with choices and constructions regarding cultural attributes. We can always see implicit or explicit debates on the relation between mountain and water, self and nature, utensil and Tao that are inherent intraditional East Asian culture in their works."

曲水流觞是可追溯到中国周朝的古老传统，宾客坐水边，酒杯顺流而下，取杯饮酒者赋诗作画，后来历代文人墨客亦仿效进行雅集。同时，这种习俗不止用于相聚与欢庆，还有祈福免灾的意味。新冠疫情三年以来，国际文化交流和展览都受到极大限制，希望本次展览通过中韩两国艺术家的作品创造难得的相聚，也借助网络通信让艺术家们在云端完成可贵对话，并希望在新冠疫情结束后，这次对话的成果还能在韩国落地展出，以期共同探讨东亚艺术的未来可能。

"Floating Wine Cups" is an ancient Chinese tradition dating back to the Zhou Dynasty. Guests sit by the water and the wine glasses float down the river, and the drinkers write poems and draw pictures. Later generations of literati and calligrapher also imitate the elegant gathering. At the same time, this custom is not only used to gather and celebrate, but also to pray for good luck and avoid disaster. It has been three years since the outbreak of COVID-19, the international cultural exchange and exhibition have been greatly limited. We hope that by the rare gathering of the artworks of the two countries in this exhibition, also with the aid of network communication for artists to complete valuable dialogue online, the dialogue of the results can also be put on display in South Korea to jointly explore the future of East Asian art when COVID-19 is gone.
