Dear Members,

This special exhibition is truly the major event of the year! These three large hanging silk scrolls classified as “National Treasures” were last displayed together 10 years ago. Besides the three Northern Song period “monumental” style of landscape paintings, nine other famous paintings-ranging in date from the Yuan dynasty to the Republican period, were chosen to demonstrate the great influence of these three masterpieces that extends years beyond creation.   

There are quite a few informative videos about these paintings; please do check them out:

親愛的「藝文小組」會員們:

「故宮」重磅特展「鎮院國寶-范寬、郭熙、李唐」三件巨幅立轴,分別代表了北宋「巨碑式」山水畫的典範,上次三寶合體展出,算來已是十年之前。這次特展,同時也精選了九幅受三家畫風影響,創作時間橫跨元代到民國的名家山水畫,各幅均呈現了後人汲古創新所受的啟發。

建議會員們行前,花點時間觀賞相關的介紹短片(請看上面連結)。若是時間允許,相鄰展間的「溥心畬書畫特展」也頗值觀賞。非常感謝本會諮詢顧問陸仲雁女士同意擔任英文導覽,以及故宮資深志工曾淑芸女士為我們中文導覽,何其榮幸能聆聽到她們精闢的解析,謹致誠摯謝忱。

日期與時間: 1110日(週三)下午130330pm

地點:故宮博物院第一展覽區,202, 204, 206展室

費用:(含門票、子母機、禮品)每人200元(65歲以上需出示身份證件)

交通:捷運紅線淡水信義線士林站一號出口,轉搭S18, R30, BR 20到故宮

※報名截止日期: 111日(週一)

1110130pm我們在第一展覽區一樓大廳售票口前面集合、收費,統一租借子母機與購票,1400pm開始導覽。非常感謝您的參與及配合,並提醒您若要提前離去,請務必將子母機交給本人或收費的工作人員,我們必需集體歸還租用的子母機給櫃台。報名請以電郵回覆,或電洽

親愛的「藝文小組」會員們:

「鹽田千春:顫動的靈魂」延展至10月17日,讓我們得以安排這場難得的參觀活動。疫情期間,大部分導覽志工尚未復工,並且為符合空間人數規定,此次活動不便安排中、英導覽。館方安排有專人帶領我們先到三樓,聽美術館專家解說鹽田千春作品,再一起到一樓觀展。

在「北美館」的官網上有館長王俊傑先生的影音導覽,也有鹽田本人親自來台佈展的創作理念分享等等很豐富的資訊;請大家行前點閱這些影片,最好在手機上下載「北美館APP」,可站在作品前聆聽中文解說。本次活動僅有25位名額,收費200元,敬請大家在927日(週一)前以電郵回覆。

疫情難測,若不幸管制升級,本活動即配合取銷。

「藝文小組」蘇怡 劉仁薈敬啟

Video Clips from EG Trips to Share

WTIC has suspended all the activities since the middle of May, most likely, the worst-case scenario has been controlled and gradually reopened.

We have edited some clips for some of the previous EG trips, please click on the links below and enjoy the happiest time we have spent together. The memories we make, bit by bit, laugh by laugh! Some of you have gone back home or to another country, but our friendship will last forever.

We miss you so much, we are expecting to see you soon, until then, take care and keep in touch!

新冠疫情,隔絕了彼此,台灣因去年因疫情控制得宜,迎新會得以舉辦非常多的活動,真是精彩不已!原本EG活動後製的影片因而沒有時間來做編輯。
今年五月至今,多出來的居家時間,趕緊將尚未完成的影片逐一製作完成。在編輯的同時也可回味我們一同度過的美好時光。
三個多月不見,非常想念大家,眼下疫情稍見趨緩,希望我們很快能夠見面,再度歡樂相聚!
