當(dāng)代藝術(shù) 視覺(jué)盛宴

第五屆杭州藝術(shù)博覽會(huì)，2012年5月23日至28日在杭州和平會(huì)展中心舉辦。

“杭州藝術(shù)博覽會(huì)”是杭州西湖國(guó)際博覽會(huì)的支持項(xiàng)目，已成功舉辦了四屆。本屆藝博會(huì)聚集了來(lái)自國(guó)內(nèi)外的30多家藝術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)、1個(gè)推薦展、8個(gè)主題展，展出的數(shù)千件當(dāng)代藝術(shù)作品展現(xiàn)中國(guó)、法國(guó)、西班牙、奧地利、加拿大、馬來(lái)西亞等國(guó)內(nèi)外藝術(shù)家最新創(chuàng)作成果。海內(nèi)外知名畫(huà)廊、藝術(shù)公司、藝術(shù)院校等專業(yè)藝術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)和當(dāng)代著名藝術(shù)家的參展，使本屆藝博會(huì)頗具當(dāng)代藝術(shù)風(fēng)格，富有時(shí)代氣息。

杭州藝術(shù)博覽會(huì)以“當(dāng)代性、國(guó)際性、學(xué)術(shù)性、市場(chǎng)性”為主旨，以高品位、高起點(diǎn)、高質(zhì)量打造“品牌藝術(shù)博覽會(huì)”為目標(biāo)，以“當(dāng)代藝術(shù)，視覺(jué)盛宴，和諧杭州，品質(zhì)生活”為口號(hào)，采取國(guó)際上先進(jìn)的、規(guī)范的藝博會(huì)運(yùn)作方式，集中展現(xiàn)當(dāng)今藝術(shù)市場(chǎng)上最為活躍的畫(huà)廊、藝術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)和藝術(shù)家，形成展覽規(guī)模大、展品質(zhì)量高、藝術(shù)作品新、藝術(shù)門(mén)類(lèi)廣的文化藝術(shù)氛圍。

藝博會(huì)中“2012藝術(shù)杭州·中青年當(dāng)代藝術(shù)家推薦展”、“桑火堯威尼斯雙年展作品延伸展”、“精神之象·中國(guó)美院張浩當(dāng)代水墨邀請(qǐng)展”、“魯迅的面容·中國(guó)美院新木刻講習(xí)班版畫(huà)作品展”、“2012中國(guó)當(dāng)代抽象藝術(shù)邀請(qǐng)展”、“中國(guó)美院楊奇瑞等五人雕塑作品邀請(qǐng)展”、“中國(guó)美院常青當(dāng)代藝術(shù)邀請(qǐng)展”、“2012當(dāng)代水彩畫(huà)名家邀請(qǐng)展”、“陳亮當(dāng)代瓷藝與家具作品展”等主題展覽相得益彰，繪畫(huà)藝術(shù)、裝置藝術(shù)、影像藝術(shù)、行為藝術(shù)和雕塑、陶瓷藝術(shù)交相輝映，共同構(gòu)筑了本屆藝博會(huì)以本土化、精品化為主的基本特質(zhì)。其中，浙江美術(shù)館副館長(zhǎng)?；饒颍瑹o(wú)疑是最令人矚目的一位當(dāng)代藝術(shù)家。2011年他的作品入選第54屆威尼斯雙年展，并連續(xù)兩次入選被譽(yù)為收藏風(fēng)向標(biāo)的“世界第一大拍”的香港蘇富比拍賣(mài)會(huì)，被國(guó)際藏家所關(guān)注。這次展出的《竹林七賢》《浮生》，桑火堯?qū)⒅窳肿兂杉t色，顯示其奔放、熱烈、刺激的思想色彩，徹底顛覆了“竹林”這一魏晉名士悠閑生活狀態(tài)的象征物。?；饒蛘J(rèn)為，融匯民族傳統(tǒng)文化和現(xiàn)代哲學(xué)思想的作品，將會(huì)越來(lái)越受到藝術(shù)品市場(chǎng)的青睞。

凡親臨過(guò)2012杭州藝博會(huì)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的，無(wú)論是觀眾還是參展商，對(duì)本屆杭州藝博會(huì)整齊的陣容和高品質(zhì)的藝術(shù)作品都贊賞不已，留下了深刻的印象。

據(jù)悉，作為本屆藝博會(huì)最重要的“中青年當(dāng)代藝術(shù)家推薦展”，七八月份還將赴寧波市、紹興市、嘉興市、湖州市四城市巡展，推廣杭州藝術(shù)博覽會(huì)和中青年當(dāng)代藝術(shù)家及其優(yōu)秀作品。在四城市巡展結(jié)束之后，藝博會(huì)還將和浙江佳寶拍賣(mài)有限公司合作，舉辦“中國(guó)當(dāng)代藝術(shù)品專場(chǎng)拍賣(mài)會(huì)”，建立一個(gè)本土當(dāng)代藝術(shù)品和國(guó)內(nèi)藝術(shù)品市場(chǎng)相結(jié)合的文化交流平臺(tái)。

Fifth Hangzhou Art Expo

The 5th Hangzhou Art Expo was held from May 23 through 28， 2012 at Peace Conference Center in Hangzhou， the capital of eastern China’s coastal Zhejiang Province.

The art gala is a supporting project of the annual West Lake International Expo. At the expo this year， more than 30 domestic and overseas art organizations combined to stage a recommendation exhibition and eight theme exhibitions at the nearly 10，000-m2 exhibition space at the center. Artists from China， France， Spain， Austria， Canada and Malaysia showed several thousand pieces of artworks in the form of painting， sculpture， pottery， installation art， image art and mixed materials.

The Hangzhou Art Expo promotes modernity， internationalism， scholarship and business， trying to create an art event reflecting the prosperity of modern visual art in Hangzhou that strives to create a life of quality and harmony for all of its residents. The organizers marketed the event by using standard methods. The expo serves as a showcase for art galleries， art institutions， and artists， and displays a wide range of latest high-quality artworks in various genres.

This year， the exhibitions highlighted local artists and their works. One of the most prominent artists at the exhibition was Sang Huoyao， now a deputy director of Zhejiang Art Museum. Sang presented his works at Venice Biennial in 2011， an honor that none of the other artists in Zhejiang has enjoyed. In fact， he is China’s first ink painter presented at Venice Biennial. The expo in Hangzhou in 2012 paid homage to Sang by holding an exhibition for visitors to see his works at Venice Biennial. One of the works on display was “Seven Sages in Bamboo Forest，” a painting that portrayed seven sages of ancient China. Sang painted the bamboos in ebullient reds. The bold color tone overthrew the conventional presentation of the symbolic bamboos， an image that traditionally embodies the leisurely style of the sages. Sang remarked that artworks integrating national tradition and modern philosophy will become more and more popular on market.

The “Exhibition for Recommended Young Artists，” the most important part of the expo this year， will tour Ningbo， Shaoxing， Jiaxing and Huzhou in July and August， promoting Hangzhou Art Expo and artists and their works. After the four-city tour， there will be an auction to market modern Chinese artworks. The organizers of the expo hope that this auction will bridge the gap between art and market and serve as a platform for cultural exchanges.
