【Explanation】Chengdu has a strong artistic heritage since ancient times. At the moment of Chengdu's diversified development, art has also entered a brand-new era, and gradually transformed into a popular culture. Various art spaces with different styles have sprung up in the streets and alleys of Chengdu. People's lives. On June 10th, a small exhibition from South Korea was being held quietly in Zakka under the tree in Jinjiang District, Chengdu.

  【Commentary】Zakashi Shuka was founded by three "post-90s" partners. It is a small shop that gathers grocery stores, cafes and exhibition halls. It officially opened in August 2019. In the small shop, there are various unique Japanese groceries, and the further in-depth is the small exhibition hall hidden in the shop. The simple and clear decoration makes the works on display very conspicuous.

  [Same period] (Binger under the tree zakka Bing'er) Chengdu's (exhibitions) are actually some relatively large art exhibition halls or something. In fact, in the urban area, there is only Tianfu Square. In fact, other like Luhu Lake (A4 Art Museum) Those are too far away, we want to "quiet in the middle" (in) an urban area (for exhibition), for example, everyone can come over in Taikoo Li, and then you can visit an exhibition, and then we I also hope that the exhibition can be integrated into life, it is not a feeling that everyone feels very far away.

  【Explanation】Binger introduced that since the store was opened, they have exhibited different types of exhibitions including painting, engraving, hand-made stoneware and so on. Currently, the exhibition is a collection of innocent and cute illustrations. Binger said that the exhibitions in the store are mainly aimed at young people, and they hope to let more young people enter the art world.

  [Same period] (Binger, the manager of zakka under the tree) I think (the exhibition in the store) is closer to life, and ordinary friends are like college students. Many college students here come to visit, and they are all able to contact some art-related ( Works), I think it's very good, not like the traditional exhibition of everyone, but far away from everyone's life.

  [Commentary] Unlike the zakka under the tree for young audiences, BanBar, which can also be enjoyed while drinking coffee, is aimed at people of a wider age range. It is understood that the shop officially opened on April 17 and is currently holding an oil painting exhibition by painter Wang Xi.

  [Same period] (BanBar principal Aseng) Because I think it is really a particularly good opportunity, because in fact, like when we were young, it is really difficult to have such an opportunity, for example, near the home There is a so-called exhibition hall near the school, which contains some works of better artists. In fact, like a comprehensive space, it has many (conveniences). A good convenience means that many people who come to drink coffee, even some tourists who come to "stuck", or customers, they may just go shopping like this. Be able to touch some beautiful things.

  【Explanation】Azeng believes that, unlike large art galleries and art exhibitions, in such an independent space, it not only provides a free communication space for the people who come to the exhibition, but also provides a display for niche artists. A platform for your own work.

  [Same period] (BanBar principal Aseng) Now there are many artists who do not have this channel and such a path to enter the (large exhibition) platform. So if I make such a space, for many young artists, I think it is a good opportunity.

  [Explanation] From the past, only official units can host exhibitions, to the large rise of enterprises, galleries and various private art spaces, the focus of the exhibition has gradually shifted from the official to the folk, reducing the threshold of the original art exhibition "high" To allow art exhibitions to truly enter people's lives. Both Bing'er and Azeng hope that their "integrated space" will allow art to "run silently" into the daily life of the people.
