水?色：當代水墨藝術展
展期：1月11-23日
地點：2號館2層展廳
步入21世紀，中國當代藝術朝國際化的方向大步邁進，被越來越多的國內外觀眾、機構欣賞和接納。目前，說到“中國當代藝術”，往往是以油畫、攝影、雕塑、行為藝術、裝置、視頻和數碼等形式和材料為主，中國傳統的藝術媒介和手法，如水墨、書法、宣紙等，則往往被忽略。以傳統媒介做當代藝術能否被接受?以傳統藝術媒介為手段的藝術家中有沒有人對當代藝術進行探索？答案是肯定的。
“水?色：當代水墨藝術展”將介紹對水墨藝術從傳統向當代形態轉化進行多年研究、探索的十位藝術家。他們以各自的藝術成果，突破了前人關于水墨畫在技術與觀念上的藩籬，在繼承東方傳統審美精髓的基礎之上，發展出各自不同的當代藝術圖景，豐富和充實了當代藝術的多樣性與學術深度。這種擁有東方文化根性的當代藝術探索為中國當代視覺文化的發展提供了有成效的案例，也呈現出當代藝術景觀的勃勃生機。
Water/color：Contemporary Ink Art Show
Duration: January 11th-23rd,2009
Venue：2nd floor exhibition hall of Building 2
In recent years of this new century, contemporary Chinese art has been well-received on the world art stage, which means it has been accepted by a wider domestic and international audience as well as by institutions
What is now referred to as Contemporary Chinese Art usually comprises oil painting, photography, sculpture, performance, installation, video and digital work. Traditional Chinese artistic media and techniques, such as ink, calligraphy, and rice-paper have been more or less ignored. Can traditional media produce contemporary art? A relevant question is whether there is any artist who has engaged in serious contemporary art exploration using traditional methods and media. Certainly, the answer is positive.
This large group show, entitled “Water/color”, will present those artists who are engaging with the transition of ink-painting from its traditional form into a contemporary one. Their art has broken through rigid concepts while absorbing the essence of ink-and-wash painting. With deep cultural roots, their art has developed a personal terminology, presenting a rich and fresh vision of contemporary art. The contemporary Chinese art scene is thus more diversified and refreshing.
