“年度問題——華涌的經濟波普”個展在北京798藝術區思萊德畫廊進行，開幕酒會將在2009年10月17日下午三時舉辦。此次展覽由北京大學教授彭鋒先生策劃，思萊德畫廊主辦。此次展覽時間10月17日——12月31日。一百多年前，王爾德將犬儒主義者概括為“知道所有事物的價格，不知道任何事物的價值。”在今天這個虛擬經濟社會裏，人們都變成了王爾德筆下的犬儒主義者。天天炒股，卻不見賺錢；天天賺錢，依然是兩手空空。價格與價值背離，是當代經濟生活的基本現象。生命的基本單位是年，一年一個迴圈。股市的日k、周k、月k，最終都得積攢成為生命的年輪。在人們都關注日k周k月k的時候，華涌提出了年度問題，旨在讓我們從生命的角度看經濟，而不是從經濟的角度看生命。展覽準備和展覽期間，很多藝術愛好者對這樣一個展覽高度認可。

More than 100 years ago, Oscar Wilde defined the cynic as "a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing." The virtual economy, which governs our contemporary social world, has made us into cynics of the Wildean sort. Stocks are traded every day, but there is no real money; money is generated every day, but we are still empty-handed. This disjunction of price from value is the core phenomenon of contemporary economic life. The basic temporal unit of life is the year, and the year is cyclical. But the stock market’s day-k, week-k and the month-k have come to dominate the life-cycle. When other people are concerned about the day-k, the week-k and the month-k, Hua Yong focuses on our perennial problem, examining the economy from the perspective of our lives rather than seeing life from the narrowly economical point of view.
