Exhibitions on the Mogao Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province, are consistently popular due to Dunhuang’s rich cultural heritage and timeless art. In recent years, the integration of digital technologies and interdisciplinary research has further enriched these exhibitions by offering diverse perspectives on the mysteries and allure of the grottoes.

A new exhibition at the Pingshan Art Museum is offering Shenzheners a unique way to experience the grottoes. Titled “Amber of History: Reimagining the Library Cave at Dunhuang,” the free exhibition features contemporary artworks by Chinese artist and Stanford University art professor Xie Xiaoze.

Visitors admire Xie Xiaoze’s artworks at the exhibition.

The showcased ink paintings and sculptures, as well as a video and a virtual reality (VR) work, are the result of Xie’s artist-in-residence program at the Dunhuang Academy in 2017. His project specifically focuses on Cave 17, famously known as “the Library Cave.”

Among the many caves at the Mogao Grottoes decorated with stunning murals and statues, the 7-square-meter Library Cave is notable for its remarkable collection of 50,000 relics, including manuscripts, books, paintings, ritual items and embroidery works dating back to the 4th-11th centuries.

The cave was discovered in 1900 after centuries of concealment. Most of the treasures in the cave were then plundered and are now scattered across museums worldwide. These artifacts serve as pivotal sources for comprehending various aspects of ancient China and Central Asia, including historical, religious, cultural, artistic, economic, political, and technological dimensions.

Xie has named his project “Amber of History,” viewing the Library Cave as an “amber” preserving Chinese culture. He initially created a long scroll of ink sketches, notes, diagrams, calligraphy, and drafts that served as a foundation for subsequent sculptures, installations, and paintings within the project. He also visited Shenzhen and Huizhou several times in search of materials for his sculptures.

During the exhibition’s opening weekend, many visitors were captivated by a VR experience. Standing inside an installation resembling the Library Cave, visitors can embark on a fantastic virtual journey to explore the ancient site filled with exquisite relics.

Another striking exhibit consists of colorful sculptures shaped like the Library Cave, with some bearing embedded Chinese characters from Buddhist manuscripts, creating an effect of characters floating in an ethereal realm. This artistic fusion of ancient craftsmanship and modern innovation conveys a sense of “time capsules” that safeguard the profound cultural heritage of Dunhuang.

“Amber of History Series Sculpture”

In the “Eastern and Western Cosmologies” ink scroll, Xie combines scenes from the “Three Realms and Nine Levels Diagram” in Dunhuang with Dante’s “The Divine Comedy,” reflecting his contemplation on life and death. The artist aims to trigger dialogues and explore resonances between Chinese and Western artistic expressions on these profound themes.

Visitors are invited to delve into the historical, cultural, and philosophical significance of the Mogao Grottoes through other exhibits, such as a video work titled “Beholding Absence,” shown in a tiny space reminiscent of the entrance to the Library Cave.

“Amber of History: Reimaging the Library Cave at Dunhuang (Sketch)”

The exhibition’s curator, Wu Hung, underscores the fresh perspective it brings, emphasizing its “reimagining” of historical resources through a contemporary lens. “Dunhuang is a wellspring of artistic inspiration, drawing numerous artists to craft interpretations of its enduring legacy. I’m impressed by Xie’s experimental approach, which challenges the conventional understanding of Dunhuang’s cultural legacy,” he said.
