When the traditional art media and expressions can not serve as the cultural symbols of creative thinking, a new art path which related closely to the development of ages is emerging.

In the context of the “same”, how to maintain the distance between the original, critical, experimental and creative parts of the creation and the public “Hong” becomes an extremely crucial problem and makes the “same” and “different” more valuable and meaningful to be discussed.

This summer, the first exhibition of WOOTON Gallery will open. The exhibition invited Cai Caibei, Chi Qun, Fang Lijun, Fu Bin, Guo Donglai, Wang Lijun, Wu Mengshi and Zhu Peihong to participate as artists. They use different ways to convey contradictions and confusions that related to the time’s property

I am very honor to be the curator of the first exhibition of WOOTON, and I am very grateful to have the opportunity to participate in the contemporary development of my hometown Changsha. The young founder of WOOTON not only has a unique appreciation for art but also has a transcendence sense of foresight and responsibility in the development of contemporary art in Changsha, even China. The development of modern art not only needs “soil”, but the realistic “protection mechanism”. I expect WOOTON to become a new place for Chinese contemporary art and a rock of young artists who dares to challenge.

ARCH REVIEW | Making Complicity

When the painting is really close to us, the first thing that appears to our eyes is this Le cimetière marin[1] written by Valéry in 1922. The curators Hu Yihang and Zhang Tingzhi, together with artist Guo Yujian, divided the exhibition “Dangerous Complicity” in the gallery into three chapters with words and symbols: imagination, a plateau, and a theatre.

ARCH INTERVIEW | Guo Yujian

Since then, I have tried to let daydream-like imagination seep into the picture, and those earlier, more symbolic images have also been naturally diluted. Perhaps, it is precisely because of the temperament that seems to be infiltrated by the picture and some image contents that are contrary to reality that cause the association like a dream.

ARCH REVIEW | Guo Yujian :Dangerous Complicitiy

When looking at Guo Yujian’s works, what have been depicted is always in a state of flow, and the secret words that are related to each other become images that avoid us and approach us. The work that takes shape on the canvas in our sight is yet to come, in transition, about to embrace change, and it will not push us away until the feeling is fulfil.

ARCH 采访 | 郑江

“边界惊险但精彩,像绘制一个形象生动的轮廓线时一样充满诱惑力。我觉得创作过程本身就包含对艺术形式的思考,两者应该是一体、贴切的。”

ARCH REVIEW | 郭宇剑:危险同谋

在看向郭宇剑的作品时,被描绘的总是在流动的状态中,相互间有着联系的密语成为图像回避我们、又逼近我们扑面而来。我们视线内成形在画布上的作品是尚未到来、在过渡中、即将迎接变化,直到感受盈满,它才会把我们推远。

豆豆也是拳拳

1985年在北京中国美术馆举办的《劳申伯格艺术展》让中国人近距离地看到了“后现代艺术”的形态,这些展品让中国观众目瞪口呆:山羊的标本,汽车的轮胎,废弃的地毯组成了前所未见的图腾。在展览期间,保洁员差一点把作品误作是垃圾清理。
