著眼于未來一代觀眾對於當代藝術的興趣與理解,箭廠空間志存高遠,點滴積累—自2008年創辦以來已擁有了十數件藏品,這些藏品所代表的藝術家來自世界各地。箭廠空間的創辦者們相信-偉大的城市需要偉大的藝術收藏來教育和激勵它的公眾,在此建立的不僅是一個展示藝術的空間,也將擁有一個代表眾多不同文化最高成就的公共收藏。此次展出的藏品不能説是最全面的,但它們大體反映了箭廠空間歷史上的各個重大時刻。
《高光》涉及了箭廠空間藏品中的重要物品和錄影,它們完全可以成為展現箭廠藏品深度及獨特性的重要里程碑。從張怡在北京拍攝和製作的錄影《可能接觸》(2008年),到李景湖用整卷衛生紙和袋裝洗衣粉製作的《雪人》(2010年),《高光》重述了箭廠空間反映良好又充滿插曲的兩年半歷史中的一些關鍵時刻。由於箭廠空間的大部分項目都帶有特定現場的性質,在這裡展示和呈現的物品都是不完整的,或者部分經過重新改造過的。只有一件作品,即王衛的《不會給你們添麻煩的》(2009年),是以原本完整的形式展出。雖然藏品所講述的故事範圍廣大,但這並非藝術史(如果有的話)的權威觀點,而是箭廠空間的巨大遺産所帶來的啟迪,有助於清楚地指出引向未來的道路。

The Arrow Factory Collection is currently held in private trust for the benefit of future generations of visitors. From modest beginnings, it has grown with increased ambition over the years—over ten works have entered the collection since our founding in 2008, with artists represented from all corners of the globe. The founders of Arrow Factory believe that every great city needs a great art collection to educate and inspire its population. They sought to build not only a space to show art, but also a public collection that could grow over time and represent the highest achievements of many different cultures. The collection cannot claim to be comprehensive, though it broadly represents key moments in the history of the Arrow Factory.
Highlights is drawn from what is currently in-situand identifies major objects or videos excavated from Arrow Factory’s inventory as key milestones celebrating the collection’s depth and distinctiveness. From Patty Chang’s video “Touch Would” (2008) shot and produced on location in Beijing, to the rolls of toilet paper and packets of washing powder from Li Jinghu’s “Snowman”(2010), Highlights recounts key moments in Arrow Factory’s tremendous and episodic two and a half year history. Since most projects at Arrow Factory are site-specific in nature, the objects brought forth and presented here are exceedingly fragmentary and/or partially reconstituted and in some occasions point to the seamlessness between architectural space and art object. Only one work - "I Won’t Make Any Trouble for You" (2009) by Wang Wei is exhibited in its original whole form. Though the stories the collection tells are wide-ranging, this is not a definitive view of art history (if there is such a thing) but rather an illumination of Arrow Factory’s vast legacy that helps to shed light on the way towards the future.
