PARIS, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Since 1873, the CIHA (Comité International d’Histoire de l’Art) congress has taken place every four years, like the “Art History Olympiad”. The only global event in this field, it allows researchers and professionals from the world of art and heritage to come together to exchange and debate current issues. This will be a major event for France in 2024, ranking among the most important events of the year such as the Paris Olympics.

This year, the French Committee for the History of Art (CFHA) was chosen to organize it. The International Congress of Art History will be held at the Convention Center of the Cité Internationale de Lyon from June 23 to 28, 2024:  https://www.cihalyon2024.fr/en/

thierry Ehrmann, President of Artmarket.com and Founder of Artprice: “It is clear that Artprice’s sponsorship of this global event, which will be pivotal for France and its international cultural policy, is significant. With over 50 countries and 1000 speakers participating, particularly in this Olympic Games year of 2024, the event holds immense importance. This exceptional event focusing on the History of Art, held once every four years, underscores France’s resurgence, as it reclaims, according to Artprice, its position as the leading European hub in the Art Market.” 

The theme chosen for the 36th edition is “Matter Materiality”. This theme concerns all artistic productions from all periods of art history. Their materiality poses problems of perception, conservation, or reproduction.

This theme allows us to question the effects of dematerialization due to digital technology, but also the material dimension of digital technology such as the techniques of rematerialization or perception of materiality. It explores very current questions, in full evolution, and in line with major societal, ecological, and ethical challenges.

The congress will address many techniques and categories of material objects, from painting to print, from architectural techniques to the use of waste, from the human body to clothing, and more, as detailed in the online program ( in progress):  https://openagenda.com/en/ciha-2024

Olivier Bonfait, President of the French Committee for Art History (CFHA), organizer of CIHA 2024: “Coming to this international congress in Lyon means participating in a great celebration of knowledge in Art History, being present at one of those events that (almost) never happen. The last CIHA congress in France took place in… 1989. We are working intensively to make this exceptional event a success. And Artprice’s sponsorship carries its full meaning in this edition.”

Nearly 1,000 participants from more than 50 countries will speak during the congress. There will be a program of plenary conferences with the greatest specialists and world-renowned artists where they will talk about their approach to the subject. Artprice and the Organe Museum of Contemporary Art will participate in workshops in the form of collaborative knowledge-sharing sessions. In the evening, discussions will continue during events organized with partner museums and foundations.

A special evening will be organized at the world headquarters of Artprice by Artmarket, in the heart of the Organe Museum of Contemporary Art managing La Demeure du Chaos / Abode of Chaos (dixit The New York Times), including a visit to its unique in the world historical documentary collection dating from 1700 to the present day. In addition, a meeting will be scheduled between the CIHA researchers, Artprice department experts and its founding President.

Visits to Lyon’s heritage sites and the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region will also be offered on the final day of the congress, Friday, June 28, 2024. Throughout the event, an Art Book Fair will offer the opportunity to meet authors, and French and international publishers, where Artprice by Artmarket will be present.

The congress is supported by a prestigious honorary committee chaired by Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Orhan Pamuk. It is also placed under the patronage of the French government and benefits from the support of municipal and regional stakeholders.

The organizers paid particular attention to ensuring that all participants could come to Lyon from all over the world, whatever the difficulties linked to their economic or geopolitical context. Grants were awarded by foundations and patrons: Gerda Henkel Stiftung (Düsseldorf), Deutsches Forum Für Kunstgeschichte (Paris), Fundación Proa (Buenos Aires), Getty Foundation (Los Angeles), Fondation Tiqitaq (France), Italian Cultural Institute de Lyon, Samuel H. Kress Foundation (New York), Wu Zuoren International Foundation of Fine Arts (Beijing). Despite this generous support, needs are not yet fully covered.

The event is being sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Minister Rachida Dati, the Ministry of Europe & Foreign Affairs and Minister Stéphane Séjourné, the Ministry of Higher Education & Research and Minister Sylvie Retailleau. It also has the support of major institutions: the National Center for Scientific Research, the National Institute of Art History, the École du Louvre, the University Lumière Lyon 2, the École Nationale Supérieure de Lyon and the University of Grenoble Alpes.

At the same time, foundations, cultural partners and companies contribute to the scientific and financial organization of the congress: Artprice by Artmarket, Bullukian Foundation (Lyon), the macLYON – Museum of Contemporary Art of Lyon, the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, the Gadagne Museums, the Organe Museum of Contemporary Art managing La Demeure du Chaos / Abode of Chaos, Terra Foundation for American Art, etc. Find all the partners: https://www.cihalyon2024.fr/en/partners

GCL Energy Technology and Ant Digital Technologies Launch First Blockchain-Based RWA Project in Photovoltaic Industry

Published

on

gcl-energy-technology-and-ant-digital-technologies-launch-first-blockchain-based-rwa-project-in-photovoltaic-industry

SUZHOU, China, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — GCL Energy Technology Co., Ltd., a leader in the clean energy sector, and Ant Digital Technologies, a pioneer in digital technology services and blockchain technology, have achieved a significant milestone by successfully completing the first-ever Real World Asset Tokenization (RWA) issuance in China’s photovoltaic industry, securing 200 million yuan in cross-border financing. The groundbreaking initiative on December 23 not only injects substantial new capital into GCL Energy Technology’s ambitious growth plans but also establishes a novel financing model for Chinese photovoltaic companies seeking to fund green projects internationally.

RWA represents a transformative approach to asset management, where physical assets are digitized as tokens on the blockchain, enhancing liquidity and market accessibility. For this inaugural issuance, GCL Energy Technology has tokenized two strategically significant solar power plants in Hunan and Hubei, with a combined capacity of approximately 82MW, to spearhead this new financing frontier.

As the core entity of China’s largest private power conglomerate, GCL (Group) Holdings Co., Ltd., GCL Energy Technology is at the forefront of integrating clean energy production with comprehensive energy services and advanced digital operations. The company has significantly expanded its renewable energy footprint, with its total installed capacity reaching 5976.36 megawatts as of September 30, 2024, and renewable sources constituting 57.81% of this capacity. Notably, under the GCL SUN brand, residential photovoltaic installations have surged to 1105.89 megawatts across more than 36,500 households, demonstrating robust growth.

This RWA initiative is a cornerstone in GCL Energy Technology’s strategy to harness data for asset valorization, involving around 3000 residential photovoltaic systems. By integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence, blockchain, and IoT technologies, the project packages and stores operational and revenue data on the blockchain. This dual-chain and one-bridge architecture has garnered strong backing from prominent global investors, reinforcing RWA’s role as a pivotal green finance tool that underscores the company’s commitment to sustainable development and transparency.

The move not only bolsters GCL Energy Technology’s global ESG credentials but also strengthens its position in the international market, aligning investor interests with the burgeoning demand for environmentally responsible, low-carbon investments. Looking ahead, GCL Energy Technology remains dedicated to leading the charge in renewable energy, with a strategic focus on leveraging data to drive innovation across the sector and foster a transparent, effective ESG ecosystem.

During the issuance event, Ant Digital Technologies emphasized that industries are increasingly adopting renewable energy and sustainable assets to drive sustainable growth, and its partnership with GCL Energy Technology aims to better support this trend. Leveraging blockchain and smart contract technologies, the collaboration has dramatically improved the transparency and efficiency of asset management, operations, and transactions, while also reducing costs associated with these activities. The strategic alliance is a response to the growing market demand in the photovoltaic sector, bringing substantial practical benefits to the real economy and demonstrating the scalability of these advanced technologies.

At the same event, strategic ties were further cemented with a comprehensive partnership agreement signed with Ant Digital Technologies in Suzhou. The partnership will broaden to include joint construction, acquisition, and securitization of new energy assets, covering distributed, commercial, industrial, and residential photovoltaic power stations.

In addition, both parties will collaborate to develop AI large model applications for various scenarios including new energy generation forecasting, energy management optimization, and intelligent operations, driving the industry’s move towards enhanced intelligence and sustainability.
