Exhibition Preface

Chinese art and art ecology in the 21st century is diversified, active and shocking, and also appears insignificant, as "everything is possible" seems a little too normal. "Modern art" and "traditional art" either stand in their separate fields or have fuzzy boundaries; "magic of brush and ink " and "visual impact" sometimes work together and sometimes divide. There are a lot of fake works in the market, making it difficult to find authentic ones. Some old works of the 20th century look avant-garde, while some so-called experimental creations give us a feeling of “visual fatigue”. When you stand in art museums, galleries or art fairs, you will be confused: where am I, New York, London, Beijing or Hong Kong? Everyone is busy, bustling from point A to point B. Artists travel from studios to exhibitions, while curators and critics walk speedily among cafes, opening ceremonies and seminars. Practitioners of auctions and galleries shuttle between homes of artists and collectors and markets. We are all eager to express our attitudes towards the world, human beings and art with instant and even emotional impulse by Weibo and WeChat. For all of this, when we stop for a minute and act as a person in time-travel TV series, we will see that the art itself has too much in some areas and lost something in other aspects. In the same mood, when we observe with patience the Chinese art and art ecology, will we become speechless because there are too many things we’d like to say? I suppose maybe we could express it in an unhurried way…
The selection of AAC has been held for eight sessions and the exhibition tour was launched just two years ago. No doubt there is respectable grandeur to these events, but there are also stories which can be seen with just fried chicken and beer. This is AAC, representing the same diversity with the Chinese art ecology. In this exhibition tour of AAC, we once again rely on the abundant artistic resources of Yachang Group. Employing the slide-like reason and operation mode, we present with a peaceful mentality in 2014 a pure exhibition in real world based on a virtual Internet platform, to showcase in parallel the works of artists in the center or at the edge of our vision.——Wu Hongliang
