EXHIBITIONS

作为秉持独立思考和实验精神的当代艺术机构，中间美术馆长期开展艺术史研究，关注和支持非商业性的艺术和人文探索，并将于2月底迎来四展同开的盛况。

受赵文量杨雨澍艺术中心邀请，艺术家张伟策划了“夜路——张伟眼中的赵文量与杨雨澍”一展，选择了这两位艺术家的作品里较少被注意、但与他自己的艺术兴趣关联密切的部分作品，尤其关注其中颜色的用法、笔触、线条的变化等画面的形式特征。

“巨浪与余音——张蔷与绘画群体情况表（1986）”文献展，通过时任《中国美术报》社长的张蔷所设计的问卷，获取多位活跃于1980年代中期的艺术家们祛魅的艺术主张，再现各个代际艺术家在同一时期的个人经历、学习状况、创作活动与思想动态，追溯新潮美术的始源。

“意大利当代艺术丝路行”将通过30余件作品呈现30余位跨越多个代际的艺术家的创作。这个展览中的艺术家名单构成了二战之后意大利当代艺术史的一个索引。从出生于1920年代到1980年代的每个代际中，均有数位佼佼者参与此展。作品的创作时间最早为1967年，最近为2020年，横跨半个多世纪，其中以2010年以来的作品为主。

专注呈现艺术领域出版实践的“中间实践”将迎来第十期“观火：见证与叙事”，呈现基于意大利西西里巴勒莫的独立出版社89books的25本摄影出版物，将以多媒介的方式为观众呈现穿越时间和空间的摄影实践。

As a contemporary art institution recognized for its independent and experimental spirit, Inside-Out Art Museum has been carrying out long-term art historical research, supporting non-commercial art practice and leading research and thinking in disciplines of humanity. Its spring programme consists of four exhibitions. 

Night Road: Works by Zhao Wenliang and Yang Yushu from Zhang Wei's Perspective

Curator: Zhang Wei

Artist Zhang Wei curated the exhibition Night Road: Works by Zhao Wenliang and Yang Yushu from Zhang Wei's Perspective, choosing the less-noticed works of these two artists, which show more of an abstract leaning and are related to his own artistic interests. Zhang Wei especially highlights the formal characteristics of the picture, such as the use of colors, brush strokes, and changes in lines. These works are a divergent from the landscape and still life paintings of both artists, which tend to be more figurative than abstract. 

Waves and Echoes: Zhang Qiang and Survey Sheets of Painting Groups, 1986

This exhibition presents a precious collection of archival materials from Zhang Qiang, founder and publisher of Fine Arts in China, a leading art newspapers published from 1985 to 1989. This newspaper gave critical exposure to new thinking and practices of contemporary artists and theoreticians, which was at the heart of the “New Wave Art” phenomenon of the 1980s. In 1986, Zhang Qiang sent out two survey forms he designed to young artist collectives active all over China, whose works have been featured in the newspaper. One form was meant for the collective and one for individual members, inviting them to explain their background, education, influences in art and thinking and their works. They responded by filling out the survey forms and wrote letters to Zhang Qiang further elaborating on their reflections on art, and attaching press clippings and photographs of their latest works. Based on all of these materials, Zhang Qiang wrote his book New Tides of Painting, aimed at faithfully documenting the dynamic trend of contemporary art in this period. More than 178 filled survey forms from 1986 featuring artists who became some of the most important figures later on as well as those who fell out of the radar, will be presented in this exhibition for the first time. This exhibition is a historical document into understanding the artistic landscape and intellectual context of the 1980s in China.
