In September of 2013, Long Museum will launch its international exhibition debut since its opening named “Clues of Asia—Asian Contemporary Art from Long Collection”. Upheld the Museum’s criteria for collection, research, promotion and value construction, the exhibition will present Long’s unique Asia contemporary art collection in a brand new perspective. Curated by the independent curator and critic Huang Du, it focuses on about thirty artists from countries of Japan, Korea, Indonesian and Malaysian and exhibits forty artworks include painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation, etc. “Clues of Asia” is aimed to think and represent features and trends of Asian contemporary art in the robust developing process of modernization and to reflect the diverse perspectives on envision and creation of artists within the geographical area so as to reveal the hidden topics behind these visual images in relation to different societies, customs, traditions, realities, routines and contexts of languages as well as to exploit varied coexisting status of the ongoing Asian art.
Taking the historic view on art communication between China and abroad in previous experiences, China considered less on art issues in Asian area compared with that of Europe and America, especially on the internal comparison and study of art phenomenon within Asia. Therefore, it is necessary to survey Asian contemporary art by placing it in the connection of historic context and realistic development in order to recognize its international uniqueness. In this sense, Long Museum’s international exhibition chooses Asia as its very beginning indicates both its genes of Asian contemporary art and self-consciousness of Asian culture. However, “Clues of Asia” is simply not the destination but a departure. It is one of the essential purposes for Long Museum to find out an inner ‘clue’ revealed by the collection and accordingly turn on the critical moment and dimension of China’s research on the Asian contemporary art.
In terms of exhibiting forms, “Clues of Asia” is basically a visual retrieval of Asian contemporary art resources among which younger artists are in the majority. It displays the richness and variety of Asian contemporary art in sharp individual styles as well as its creative vitality.
Besides the late artists Zenzaburo Kojima and Kazuo Shiraga, representative Japanese artists in this exhibition are: Yayoi Kusama, Yoshitomo Nara, Masaru Shichinohe, Hiroto Kitagawa, Tomoko Konoike, Tsuyoshi Ozawa, Meiro Koizumi, etc. This new-generation artists get rids of the impacts by history and culture by means of confronting directly the connection with popular Anime culture especially the Japanese popular culture in the age of high consumption and almost bring this sort of aesthetics to its fullest play.
The exhibited Korean artworks imply the constantly close relation between Korean art and its own traditional culture, which is immersed with temple culture and traditional aesthetics. These Artists translate and refine these aesthetic elements into a new art language which is full of poetic flavor. The main exhibited artists are: Bae Bien-U, Kim Dong-Yoo, Cho Jung-Wha, Goh Geun-Ho, Bahk Seon-Ghi, Lee Byung-Ho, Kwon Ki-Soo, Jung Yeon-Doo, etc.
Meanwhile, Long Museum also attaches sufficient importance and concern to the trends of contemporary art in Taiwan and Southeastern Asia represented mainly by Indonesia and Malaysia. The Taiwanese art features in a new and distinguished pattern of cultural phenomenon resulted from the multicultural interlacement which is full of vitality and fresh glamour. Whereas the development and status quo of contemporary art in Southeastern Asia present the cultural characteristics of locality, globalization and diversification as well as the idiosyncratic uniqueness and variety in both aspects of richness of ideas, comprehensiveness of materials, technology and forms, as well as the expression methods in artistic languages and conceptions. The main exhibited Taiwanese artists are: Lu Hsien-Ming, Chiu Ya-tsai, Yang Mao-lin, Shih Yung-Chun, etc. Artists of Southeastern Asia include Affandi, Saftari and Dadang Christanto from Indonesia and Ahmad Zakii Anwar from Malaysia, etc.
The exhibition will last from 8th September to 27th October, 2013 and during which, three permanent exhibitions “Chinese Traditional Art from Long Collection”, “Revolutionary Art since the Yan’an Era” and “New Art History from Long Collection (modern part)” will be open to the public at the same time.
preface
The exhibition named “Clues of Asia” showcases a unique Asian contemporary art collection of Long Museum. With the expectation of establishing an imagination space and a new way of communication that beyond nations and political structures, it is assumed to construct the spectrum of Asian contemporary art in a fresh perspective. In the limelight of diverse viewpoints on envision and creation of artists from countries of Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan of China, this exhibition is aimed to think and represent features and trends of Asian contemporary art in the robust developing process of modernization and to reveal the hidden topics behind these visual images in relation to different societies, customs, traditions, realities, routines and contexts of languages respectively. The exhibition, in the name of Asia, is trying to create a discourse corresponding to Asian art rather than showing the overall appearance of Asian contemporary art. Not only manifesting Long’s awareness of exploiting Neo-Asia in global context, it also demonstrates the museum’s cultural identity and confidence in Asian art. Meanwhile, it reflects the development potential and energy of contemporary Asia as well as the imagination and creativity of Asian artists and is precisely the art altitude and cultural strategy of Long Museum.
Rather than a destination, “Clues of Asia” is simply a departure which is in accordance with the Museum’s criteria for collection, research, promotion and value construction. Taking the historic view on art communication between China and abroad in previous experiences, China considered less on art issues in Asian area compared with that of Europe and America, especially on the internal comparison and study of art phenomenon within Asia. And therefore, it is necessary to survey Asian contemporary art by placing it in the connection of historic context and realistic development in order to recognize its international uniqueness. In this sense, Long Museum’s Asian contemporary art collection realizes its due function and significance by appearing genes of Asian contemporary art and self-consciousness of Asian culture. It is therefore the essential meaning of this “Clues of Asia” exhibition that turning on the critical moment and dimension of China’s research on the Asian contemporary art.
In terms of exhibiting forms, “Clues of Asia” is basically a visual resource retrieval of Asian contemporary art, which reveals aesthetic connotation related to societies, routines, realities, traditions and contexts of languages through interpretation of the conceptions, languages and forms of the artists’ artworks. The exhibition exploits various coexisting status of the ongoing Asian art and provides valuable art clues at the same time. If artworks are visual forms which present artists’ concept and ideal, art collection thus should be carding and integration of all kinds of art tendency or phenomenon. As a consequence, it is of vital realistic significance to host “Clues of Asia” with the purpose to construct culture and art communication and dialogues within the scope of Asia. This collection exhibition inspiringly shows the richness and variety of Asian contemporary art in sharp individual styles as well as its creative vitality.

2013年9月，龙美术馆将推出“亚洲线索——龙美术馆亚洲当代艺术馆藏展”，这是开馆以来的首次国际性艺术馆藏展。秉承收集、梳理、研究、推广和价值建构的原则，展览将以全新的视角呈现龙美术馆独特的亚洲当代艺术收藏。此次展览由独立策展人、批评家黄笃主持策划，聚焦来自日本、韩国、印尼、马来西亚和中国台湾的30余位艺术家，展出其包括绘画、雕塑、摄影、影像、装置艺术在内的约40件作品。“亚洲线索”展旨在思考和再现亚洲在迅速发展的现代化过程中当代艺术的趋势和特征，反映和展现该地缘范畴的艺术家各自不同的视点、想象和创造，揭示其视觉图像背后蕴育的与其社会、传统、习俗、现实、日常、语境相关的议题，探索多样共存的、正在进行时的亚洲艺术状态。
从以往的经验看，回眸中国与国际间的艺术交流，中国更重视以欧美为中心的艺术，较少考虑亚洲区域的艺术问题，更缺少对亚洲内部的艺术现象进行比较和研究。因此，倘若要认清亚洲当代艺术在国际上的独特性，就需要将亚洲当代艺术置于历史语境与现实发展的联系中加以考察。在这个意义上，龙美术馆国际性收藏展选择以亚洲作为起点，既是出于亚洲当代艺术的基因，又反映了亚洲文化的自觉。然而“亚洲线索”展只是个起点，而非终点。寻找龙美术馆亚洲当代艺术收藏所揭示的内在“线索”，从而开启中国研究亚洲当代艺术的契机和维度，是龙美术馆举办此次展览的重要目的之一。
从这次展览的形态来看，“亚洲线索”基本上是对亚洲当代艺术资源的视觉追述，且以较为年轻的艺术家的作品居多，展示了亚洲当代艺术的丰富性和多样性及其各自文化特点和鲜明个人风格，展现了亚洲当代艺术的创造活力。
来自日本的艺术家方面，除了児岛善三郎（Zenzaburo Kojima）和白发一雄（Kazuo Shiraga）之外，这次展览的主要代表性的艺术家有：草间弥生（Yayoi Kusama）、奈良美智（Yoshitomo Nara）、七户优（Masaru Shichinohe）、北川宏人（Hiroto Kitagawa）、鸿池朋子（Tomoko Konoike）、小泽刚（Tsuyoshi Ozawa）和小泉明郎（Meiro Koizumi）等。这些新一代的艺术家摒弃了历史文化的影响，直面与流行的动漫文化的联系，尤其将高度消费社会下的日本流行文化和动漫美学发挥得淋漓尽致。
展出的韩国当代艺术作品，则反映了韩国艺术所始终保持的与其自身传统文化的密切关系——浸透寺院文化和传统色彩的美学。艺术家们将这些美学要素进行了转译，提升出一种新的艺术语言，强调富有诗意的境界。主要的艺术家有：裴柄雨（Bae Bien-U）、金东囿（Kim Dong-Yoo）、曹廷和（Cho Jung-Wha）、高勤虎（Goh Geun-Ho）、朴善基（Bahk Seon-Ghi）、李炳虎（Lee Byung-Ho）和郑然斗（Jung Yeon-Doo）等。
与此同时，龙美术馆对中国台湾当代艺术和以印尼、马来西亚为代表的东南亚当代艺术的动向也给予了足够的关注和重视。台湾艺术经由历史上多元时空的文化交错，演变出独具特色的新型态文化现象，极具生命力与鲜活的魅力；而东南亚当代艺术的发展与现状，无论是在思想的丰富性、材质的运用、技术和形式方面，还是在语言和观念的表现方面，都呈现出本土性、全球化和多样化的文化特征，表现了别具一格的独特性和多样性。在此次展览中，主要的台湾艺术家有：陆先铭、邱亚才、杨茂林和时永骏等。东南亚艺术家则包括：来自印尼的阿凡迪（Affandi）、沙弗塔利（Saftari）和达丹•克里斯坦托（Dadang Christanto）和来自马来西亚的艾哈迈德•札奇•安瓦（Ahmad Zakii Anwar）等。
此次展览将从9月8日持续至10月27日。在此期间，龙美术馆开放的其他展览还包括：《龙章凤函——龙美术馆传统艺术馆藏展》、《革命的时代——延安以来的主题创作》以及《新续史——龙美术馆现当代艺术馆藏展（现代部分）》。
展览前言
以“亚洲线索”为题的展览呈现了龙美术馆独特的亚洲当代艺术收藏。它以一种新的视点来建立当代亚洲艺术谱系，冀望于在亚洲范畴内建立超越民族国家政治结构的想象空间与交流途径。“亚洲线索”展旨在思考和再现亚洲在迅速发展的现代化过程中当代艺术的趋势和特征——聚焦于来自日本、韩国、印尼、马来西亚和中国台湾的艺术家的不同视点、想象和创造，揭示其视觉图像背后蕴育的与各自的社会、传统、习俗、现实、日常、语境相关的议题。这个以亚洲之名的展览，并不是要呈现亚洲当代艺术的整体面貌，而是要建构符合亚洲艺术的话语。这不仅表明了在全球化语境下探寻新亚洲的意识，而且也彰显了对亚洲文化的认同与自信。与此同时，它也反映了当代亚洲发展的潜力与活力，以及亚洲艺术家的想象力与创造力。这正是上海龙美术馆的艺术高度和文化战略。
“亚洲线索”展只是个起点，而非终点。它秉承了美术馆收集、梳理、研究、推广和价值建构的尺度。从以往的经验看，回眸中国与国际间的艺术交流，中国更重视以欧美为中心的艺术，较少考虑亚洲区域的艺术问题，更缺少对亚洲内部的艺术现象进行比较和研究。因此，倘若要认清亚洲当代艺术在国际上的独特性，就需要将亚洲当代艺术置于历史语境与现实发展的联系中加以考察。在这个意义上，龙美术馆的亚洲当代艺术收藏体现了应有的作用与意义，既再现了亚洲当代艺术的基因，又反映了亚洲文化的自觉。因此，“亚洲线索”展的重要意义就在于开启了中国研究亚洲当代艺术的契机和维度。
从这次展览的形态来看，“亚洲线索”展基本上是对亚洲当代艺术资源的视觉追述，通过对艺术家作品的观念、语言与形式的解读，揭示了与社会、日常、现实、传统和语境相关的美学内涵。“亚洲线索”展探索了多样共存的、正在进行时的亚洲艺术状态，并提供了许多有价值的艺术线索。如果说艺术作品是艺术家表现观念或理想或批判的视觉形式，那么艺术收藏则是对各种艺术动向或现象的梳理和整合。所以，“亚洲线索”展力图建构亚洲范围的文化和艺术的交流、对话和协商的目标，具有非常重要的现实意义。该收藏展令人鼓舞地看到了亚洲当代艺术的丰富性和多样性及鲜明个人风格，展现了亚洲当代艺术的创造活力。
