由毛旭辉、李颖联合策划的“过桥米线——云南年轻艺术家群展”将于2010年9月5日在对画空间重磅推出。此次展览将展出8位年轻艺术家的30余件作品。8位艺术家全部土生土长于云南，本次展览将体现一个地区文化的特有逻辑关系，同时考察80后艺术家在物质主义创作的新现实中如何反应和思考。

上世纪80年代，西南艺术家群体异军突起，改变了云南乃至中国画坛的格局。而在本次展览则会让观者在云南艺术家们的身上发现久违的纯净，他们的作品呈现出艺术刚刚萌芽的原始状态，有着人类感受力和想象力最直接最单纯的表达。他们自由生长，如同云南的植物一样，深深地扎根在这片土地上，每个人按照自己的方式与自然保持着亲切的关系，对生活充满了自己独特的感受。

上世纪90年代，栗宪庭先生曾将中国当代艺术在国际艺术生态中的处境比喻为“春卷”。 多年后的今天，这些云南土生土长的年轻艺术家身上仿佛暗示出一个方向：艺术永远需要真诚，艺术家永远需要听从内心的召唤，既然生长在云南，既然云南的一切一切都已经融入到血液中，那就让这一切呈现在作品中，让美丽自然的情感在画面上真实地流淌。就像让人不断回味的云南，就像云南著名的过桥米线，虽然美丽的传说已经久远，但是米线却实实在在地代代相传，回味悠长。

做不做春卷暂且不论，自由自在地做一碗过桥米线又有何妨？

The exhibition “Go! Yunnan rice noodles” Curate by Mao Xuhui and Amy Y.Li –Young Yunnan artists’ group exhibition will be grandly launched on September 5, 2010, at Dialogue Space gallery. Some thirty works by eight young artists will be displayed. As these eight artists were all born and all grew up in Yunnan, this exhibition embodies a specific region cultural logic, and at the same times examines how artists of the eighties onward have coped with the new reality of materialism in their creations.

In the eighties, the southwest artists group stood out of the ranks, and changed the painting pattern of Yunnan, and even of China. And in this very exhibition the viewers will see the rarely seen purity of these young artists, their works show a sprouting original art, ripe with the most direct expression of human sensibility and imagination. The grew up freely, and like Yunnan vegetation, the are deeply rooted in that piece of land, and each one of them expresses in his own particular way his intimate relationship with Nature, and his own perceptions of life.

Li Xianting once compared Chinese contemporary art situation on the international scene as that of “spring rolls” on a cold platter. Today, many years later, these young artists hailing from Yunnan hint at a direction: art must always be sincere and artists must always heed the call of their heart. If you grow up in Yunnan, if all of Yunnan culture flows in your veins, just allow it be seen in your works, just let the beautiful nature feeling flow truly in your paintings. Just like people always keep an after-taste of Yunnan, just like Yunnan’s famous “across the bridge” noodles, even if their beautiful legend is ancient, the noodles are with us, generations after generations, and we can still taste them.

Let’s not talk about being “spring rolls” or not, for a time, let’s just be naturally and freely a bowl of “across the bridge rice noodles”, alright?
