現在的中國青年是什麼一回事?這大概就是最酷的一代中國人。像這個地球上所有的年輕生物一樣,中國青年也是自我而又自戀,張狂而又脆弱,他們的眼鏡充滿著困惑也充滿著興奮。他們每天的生活有很多不盡如人意的東西,但卻又充滿著希望,這是一個個矛盾體。沒準,這本書的某個女孩日後也會成為Cory Kennedy那樣的Internet It Girl。 《0086-- 中國有多酷》所要展現的一個真實而鮮活的中國,這個中國跟你們之前了解的可能不太一樣。這當然不是中國版的Skins,也不是中國版的Gossip Girl,這是年輕中國的一個記錄,300多頁就是300多個定格的鏡頭。這個記錄片我們會一直做下去,北京酷是這個系列的開頭。我們會陸續拍攝一個非常獨特的中國,我們也不知道這個國家未來會怎麼樣,但一個年輕的中國會越來越酷。
《+0086 北京酷》 定價:130元

Time: 16.00-18:00 Venue: Auditorium, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art
A sort of Fruits of China's best dressed kids, this volume defines the new Chinese cool through the eyes of its hippest generation, in 300 pages of photos and illustrations from the ultracool Beijing-based magazine +0086.
The first generation to enjoy the economic accelerations--the foremost of the so-called "Tiger Economies"--of the past ten years, China's youth culture is media-savvy and globalized, their eyes beaming in the glow of perhaps becoming the next Internet It Girl or Cory Kennedy. These kids may watch Skins and Gossip Girl, but, as the book demonstrates, they aren't blindly miming some bland digest of global pop culture, rather, they are developing a new style that is specific to contemporary China, which is taking root by itself.
This publication marks the beginning of a documentary work in progress, as +0086 continues to report on the situation from the streets of Beijing. Though this book can't tell the future, it does predict that Chinese youth will just keep getting cooler.
