图画手工’2007——图画手工第二回展

　　《图画手工’2007——图画手工第二回展》展览于2007年11月10日——11月30日在北京索家村偏锋新艺术空间举行。图画手工展览是偏锋新艺术空间继A+A展览之外，又一个重要的年度展。9位年轻艺术家胡柳、胡声平、黄洋、李红军、李杰、刘斌、刘文涛、邵鲲、许硕分别以平面和装置作品来重新阐释“图画手工”这个源自于近代中国最早的美术课程的名称与概念。历史上的图画手工开启了中国美术的巨大嬗变，今天的展览则呈现了艺术家对图绘的新理解，艺术家重归手工的劳作，感性的艺术创作回归到理性的思考。在本次展览将展出的作品中，我们可以看到艺术家所呈现的一种更为严谨的艺术状态，创作手法和思想意念都进入一种更为缜密的逻辑体系。艺术家借助创作，通过更为实验性的思考方式，以一种另类的科学方法呈现对外部世界价值观的取舍。

　　Painting and Handwork’2007 - Painting and Handwork Second Exhibition

　　Painting and Handwork’2007 will be held at PIFO NEW ART STUDIOS located in Suojiachun, Beijing, from 10 to 30 November. Painting and Handwork is another annual exhibition of PIFO NEW ART STUDIOS following the A + A exhibition. This time, nine young artists, namely, Hu Liu, Hu Shengping, Huang Yang, Li Hongjun, Li Jie, Liu Bin, Liu Wentao, Shao Kun and Xu Shuo, re-interpret Painting and Handwork, a concept from the earliest art course in modern China, with graphic and installation works. While the Painting and Handwork course in history opened the gateway leading to the tremendous transformation of Chinese art, the exhibition will present the new understanding of the artists towards graphic and painting, and their reflection on the issue of artist returning to hand labour, and perceptual creation returning to the rational. From the works included in the exhibition one discerns a more rigorous state of art on the artists, whose means of production and ideas have both entered a more meticulous logic system. Through their creation and through a more experimental way of thinking, the artists demonstrate a choice for acceptance of or rejection to the values of the outside world with an alternative scientific method.
