Dear
readers:
Welcome
to the new www.china-gallery.com
English edition!
Opened
on November 18, 2000, this English website has been under
construction in the past three months. What you see now
is the newly upgraded version from February 25, 2001.
If
you are a frequent visitor, you may have noticed the drastic
changes that have taken place in the content and design
of this site. First of all, we have adjusted the content
into eight separate sections: News, Forum, Market, Person
of the Month, Archive, Art & Life, Education, and
Special Columns. The former section of Book is now part
of Market, while the former Policy & Law section is
now part of Education. Person of the Week has become Person
of the Month to be better focused. You may enter each
of the first seven sections through just a click of the
upper banner at the top of the site page or any of the
buttons on the homepage. Signs of the special columns
appear on the right side of the homepage, including Yang's
Corner, Modern Calligraphy, Tongzhou Artists' Community
and Art Dictionary. Also, you will see that the design
of the site is much more modern, convenient, and eye-catching
than before. We understand there is still a long, long
way to go for everything to be satisfactory and a better
English edition of www.china-gallery.com
demands the efforts of all of us: the editors, the designers,
and you - the readers.
Particularly
remarkable is that we have opened an art forum for our
readers. Here you can freely express what you think of
everything happening in the art world. For example, we
recommend some focal issues that have recently become
centres of heated discussions among Chinese artists and
scholars. They include topics such as what is the bottomline
of Chinese painting, what role should art criticism play,
and, more sensationally, corruption in the art world.
You may submit your comments and arguments by clicking
the botton on the left side of the page.
Above
all, we would like to read your comments on the website
itself and suggestions on how to improve it. You may click
Editor's Mailbox to send an email or simply click Comments
and Argument to submit your words.
Please
always remember to come back. You will see a different
www.china-gallery.com
English edition each time.
Best
wishes and good luck.
