三影堂摄影艺术中心将于二零零八年三月一日（周六）下午三时参加“外象——三影堂青年摄影艺术家联展”开幕酒会，同时启动“三影堂摄影奖”。
The Three Shadows Photography Art Centre cordially invites you to the opening cocktail of "Ourward Expressions, Inward Reflections," a group show of young photographers, and the launch of the "Three Shadows Photography Award," at 3pm on Saturday, March 1, 2008.
三影堂摄影艺术中心继推出馆藏中国当代和国外经典摄影作品展“对流”之后，又迎来了2008年的第一个展览。三影堂计划每年的第一个展览重点关注中国当代摄影的新生力量，同时举办一年一度的“三影堂摄影奖”新人评选活动。该计划旨在以开阔而具有深度的学术思想为基础，以对当代摄影独立的认识和判断为出发点，在不断涌现的新潮流和新趋势中选取具有独立精神和艺术潜质的艺术家和作品，对当代摄影的最新动态进行考察、梳理和研究；同时以专业制作、评论、展览和出版的方式，加以整合和推广，将中国当代摄影的最新成就介绍给广大公众，扶植和支持新人艺术家，进而推动中国当代摄影的健康发展。
将于2008年3月1日开幕的题为“外象”的摄影群展包括了四位年轻摄影艺术家：阿斗，蔡卫东，卢彦鹏，丘。他们的作品的魅力来源于艺术家对摄影媒介的深层理解，以及对当代艺术以至社会现实的独立态度。
与时下反映年轻摄影艺术家的展览和书籍大都专注于年轻一代的自我和都市生活的倾向不同，“外象”中的艺术家们将他们的视点放到了更为广阔的空间。这些影像从艺术的角度对公共空间以及地域和历史作出了富于色彩的演绎。
该展览开幕当日，将同时启动“三影堂摄影奖”的作品征集与评选活动。首届“三影堂摄影奖”专注于中国当代摄影的新面貌，面向摄影新人，无年龄限制，作品征集时间为2008年3月1日至11月30日。经由三影堂顾问团和特邀艺术家组成的评审委员会充分了解和甄选后，产生的候选人将进入次年初举办的三影堂新人展，同时举行终审评选和颁奖活动，奖项设年度新人大奖一名和优秀奖若干名。“三影堂摄影奖”计划每年举办一次，同时配合有专业制作、评论、策展和出版等系统化活动。
Following “Convection,” an exhibition of the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre’s permanent collection of Chinese and international works, we welcome “Outward Expressions, Inward Reflections,” an annual showcase of the new strengths of contemporary photography in China. We are also pleased to announce the launch of the first annual “Three Shadows Photography Award,” a juried competition for young Chinese photographers. The exhibition and award are founded on an independent understanding of contemporary photography, selecting from emerging trends artists that display a spirit of individuality and artistic potential. The exhibition introduces the newest achievements of contemporary Chinese photography to a broad audience and supports emerging artists while promoting the development of contemporary photography in China.
Opening on March 1, 2008, “Outward Expressions, Inward Reflections” features four young photographers, Adou, Cai Weidong, Lu Yanpeng and Qiu. The appeal of their work comes from each artist’s deep understanding of the photographic medium and unique attitude toward contemporary art and social reality. Recent exhibitions and books that feature young photographers have mainly focused on the young generation’s different views of the self and urban life. The artists of “Outward Expressions, Inward Reflections,” however, have a broader perspective. Their images reveal a distinct artistic interpretation of public space, region, and history.
The opening of this exhibition also marks the initiation of the “Three Shadows Photography Award” juried competition. The first “Three Shadows Photography Award” focuses on the new faces of Chinese contemporary photography and is open to new photographers regardless of age.
The call for submissions lasts from March 1 to November 30, 2008. A selection committee comprised of the Three Shadows Advisory Board and specially invited artists will select the finalists, who will then be featured in the Young Photographers Exhibition in the Spring of the following year. The final review process will take place during the exhibition and will honor a Newcomer of the Year Grand Prize Award and multiple Awards of Excellence. The “Three Shadows Photography Award” competition will be held once a year, supplementing the systematic and professional production, publishing, criticism, and curatorial work of the centre.
