由毛旭輝、李穎聯合策劃的“過橋米線——雲南年輕藝術家群展”將於2010年9月5日在對畫空間重磅推出。此次展覽將展出8位年輕藝術家的30余件作品。8位藝術家全部土生土長于雲南,本次展覽將體現一個地區文化的特有邏輯關係,同時考察80後藝術家在物質主義創作的新現實中如何反應和思考。
上世紀80年代,西南藝術家群體異軍突起,改變了雲南乃至中國畫壇的格局。而在本次展覽則會讓觀者在雲南藝術家們的身上發現久違的純凈,他們的作品呈現出藝術剛剛萌芽的原始狀態,有著人類感受力和想像力最直接最單純的表達。他們自由生長,如同雲南的植物一樣,深深地紮根在這片土地上,每個人按照自己的方式與自然保持著親切的關係,對生活充滿了自己獨特的感受。
上世紀90年代,栗憲庭先生曾將中國當代藝術在國際藝術生態中的處境比喻為“春卷”。 多年後的今天,這些雲南土生土長的年輕藝術家身上仿佛暗示出一個方向:藝術永遠需要真誠,藝術家永遠需要聽從內心的召喚,既然生長在雲南,既然雲南的一切一切都已經融入到血液中,那就讓這一切呈現在作品中,讓美麗自然的情感在畫面上真實地流淌。就像讓人不斷回味的雲南,就像雲南著名的過橋米線,雖然美麗的傳説已經久遠,但是米線卻實實在在地代代相傳,回味悠長。
做不做春卷暫且不論,自由自在地做一碗過橋米線又有何妨?

The exhibition “Go! Yunnan rice noodles” Curate by Mao Xuhui and Amy Y.Li –Young Yunnan artists’ group exhibition will be grandly launched on September 5, 2010, at Dialogue Space gallery. Some thirty works by eight young artists will be displayed. As these eight artists were all born and all grew up in Yunnan, this exhibition embodies a specific region cultural logic, and at the same times examines how artists of the eighties onward have coped with the new reality of materialism in their creations.
In the eighties, the southwest artists group stood out of the ranks, and changed the painting pattern of Yunnan, and even of China. And in this very exhibition the viewers will see the rarely seen purity of these young artists, their works show a sprouting original art, ripe with the most direct expression of human sensibility and imagination. The grew up freely, and like Yunnan vegetation, the are deeply rooted in that piece of land, and each one of them expresses in his own particular way his intimate relationship with Nature, and his own perceptions of life.
Li Xianting once compared Chinese contemporary art situation on the international scene as that of “spring rolls” on a cold platter. Today, many years later, these young artists hailing from Yunnan hint at a direction: art must always be sincere and artists must always heed the call of their heart. If you grow up in Yunnan, if all of Yunnan culture flows in your veins, just allow it be seen in your works, just let the beautiful nature feeling flow truly in your paintings. Just like people always keep an after-taste of Yunnan, just like Yunnan’s famous “across the bridge” noodles, even if their beautiful legend is ancient, the noodles are with us, generations after generations, and we can still taste them.
Let’s not talk about being “spring rolls” or not, for a time, let’s just be naturally and freely a bowl of “across the bridge rice noodles”, alright?
