攝影和錄像，是當(dāng)代藝術(shù)范疇中兩種被廣泛應(yīng)用的媒介。西方藝術(shù)家對這兩個媒介的使用始于1970 年代，到了90 年代形成全球性的高潮。在中國當(dāng)代藝術(shù)中，張培力和朱加是最早涉足攝影和錄像的兩位藝術(shù)家。他們一直深入地參與了中國社會的現(xiàn)實變遷，并充分利用了經(jīng)濟騰飛帶來的新媒介可能，發(fā)展出高度個人化、充滿洞見的藝境與立場。中國藝術(shù)圈近年來出產(chǎn)的某些最值得注意的作品就出自他們之手。“南張北朱”是業(yè)內(nèi)對這兩位中國錄像藝術(shù)的奠基者的稱謂，他們一南一北生活的中國的杭州和北京兩大經(jīng)濟文化重鎮(zhèn)。

這次在今日美術(shù)館的展覽是中國南北兩位錄像藝術(shù)大師的首次聯(lián)展，他們之間的對話將為中國當(dāng)代錄像藝術(shù)提供一個全新的視角，與大家共同見證并呈獻中國社會的變遷和中國當(dāng)代藝術(shù)的發(fā)展。

The Exhibition by Zhang Peili and Zhu Jia

Duration: Aug 20th –Sep 7th

Venue: 2nd floor exhibition hall of building 2

Photography and video, the two main media in the contemporary art,was introduced in the 1970s by the western artists and became a worldwide trend in the 1990s.

Zhang Peili and Zhu Jia are among the earliest artists in China to explore photography and video. Actively involved with the shift of China’s reality and taking the advantage of the introduction of new media prompted by the economic boom, they have developed their highly personal and insightful artistic visions and position. Some of the most remarkable works in the recent Chinese art scene are produced by these two artists.

The two founders of China’s video art are usually called "South Zhang and North Zhu"(Nan Zhang Bei Zhu), which refers that Zhang lives in Hangzhou, one of the most important economic and cultural center in South China, Hangzhou, and Zhu lives in Beijing, the economic and cultural center in the North.

This is the first joint exhibition of the two pioneer artists. The communication between them will provide a brand new point of view for China’s contemporary video art. This exhibition will unfold and witness together with the audients the changes in Chinese society and the development of Chinese contemporary art.
