前言
正因为中国当代艺术对自身的社会、政治、生存的现实关注，才为今天世界艺术提供了新的视觉形式和新的血液，而得到普遍的关注。
然而，我们的现实究竟是怎样的呢？这次参加展览的十位西班牙艺术家的作品给我们一次反观自身的机会。这些作品都是他们来中国交流、工作之间在中国创作的。是他们在不长的时间里对中国最直接、最感性的印象，给我们提供了一个可贵的新的观看视角；中国的十位参展艺术家大多为我们所熟知，他们的图式语言，均来自我们的现实以及对中国现实的思考，是极其个人化的。可以这么说，无论是短暂生活在中国的西班牙艺术家，还是土生土长、长期生活的中国艺术家，他们的作品无论如何都只是对现实生活不同侧面的思考，其差异性和局限性是显而易见的，因而也是互补的。归根结底，都是基于现实之上的个人想象，哪怕它是最最客观的影像作品。
艺术正因为各个不同的艺术家的想象差异，而显得既多种多样，又精彩纷呈，艺术家为我们在现实之上再造了另一个想象的、虚构的现实。同时，这种想象也不断的被同仁们确认而构建着文化和艺术的历史。
活在当下，一切都是现在进行式——

Memories of China
Chinese - Spanish contemporary art exchange exhibition
Duration: 19 Sep –18 oct
Opening: 19 Sep 3pm
Exhibition venue: 798 Space
Curators: Vivian Cao & Coral Lu
Because the Chinese contemporary art pays great attention to its own social, political and survival reality, it has been providing new visual forms and new blood for the comtemporary art world art obtaining vast global attention.
However, what kind of reality are we living? Now, the works of ten Spanish artist participating in the exhibition give us an opportunity to review our ideas. These works have been created during the residencies of these artists at MA Studio. Each artist have spent two months in Beijing developing projects related with they experiences in China. The works are extremely direct and sensitive impressions of this brief time when China has created a valuable new angle of visual culture.
The ten Chinese artists participating in the exhibtion are well known for their particularly characteristic language, which comes from our reality and from pondering it in a personalized manner.
Both the Spanish artists visiting China and the local Chinese artists living here discuss in their works about the cultural transformation in several contexts of the reality. The differences and the limitations of each point of view are obvious. Ultimately, everything is based on the reality above individual imagination, even in the most objective video work.
Each artist's imagination is different, and the difference appears in a variety of forms, wonderfully and excitingly. The artists have created a new imagery and a fabled reality based on the reality. Simultaneosly, these forms of the imagination are also unceasingly assured by the colleagues in order to construct cultural and the artistic history.
Live NOW, everything is PRESENT but CONTINUOUS.
