我能看看你的作品吗?
May I see your work?

颜磊 Yan Lei
1997年

一群西方的貌似艺术家和策展人出现在这件作品的核心位置,这是艺术家对于中国当代艺术现状的思考与审视。在当下,西方的当代艺术生态发展依旧并已趋于成熟,而中国当代艺术的成长亦源于西方世界与文化形态的影响与认知。艺术家将这样的问题提出,正是反映出中国当代艺术被西方世界所选择这样一个问题。至于这样的选择与其中涉及到的利益与权力的纠葛,在艺术家的创作中能够引发出无尽的空间与可能性。

A group of people that look like Western artists and curators inhabit the center of this piece. The artwork represents the artist’s thinking and opinion about contemporary art. At the moment, Western contemporary art has already reached its own development and maturity, whilst the growth of Chinese contemporary art is still rooted in the Western world and it still receives the impact and influence of already set cultural patterns and formats. The artist raises these issues and demonstrates that the Western world has absorbed Chinese contemporary art. In these terms, the artist’s creation offers a possibility and an endless platform for discussion around issues of choices and disputes over power and interests.
