这是一场由「相遇」催生的艺术实验。参展的艺术家们皆源于谭小正在小红书平台的线上同频互关朋友。2023年5月某日的灵感碰撞,让”招三幕四”系列直播应运而生——当艺术家们在镜头前袒露创作肌理时,我们惊觉这个时代更需要真诚的创作者对话。如今,这场相遇将以更恒久的姿态,在谭小正艺术官网构筑起数字化的精神道场。
他们是以肉身渡数字之河的先锋者:坦然接受直播媒介的审视,在即时互动的压力场中依然保持创作本真;他们是拥有敏捷创作执行力的新生代,在碎片化语境里建构完整的艺术表达。作为见证中国动漫生态二十载的观察者,谭小正始终相信:当艺术生产早已突破视觉承载的边界,艺术家的生命轨迹与精神突围才是最具穿透力的作品。
本次展览试图构建三重观察维度:线上展厅呈现艺术家们的创作切片,文献档案记录其渡劫求索的个体史诗,而所有数字痕迹终将沉淀为这个时代的艺术人格图谱。我们无意定义何为”好作品”,却执着于捕捉那些在镜头前后始终如一的创作赤忱——这或许就是当代艺术最珍贵的注脚。
All the artists are from Tan Xiao Zheng’s online mutual friends in Red Note. One day in early May 2023, a chat inspired the “Zhao San Mu Si” live broadcast series. This is a group of brave artists who are not afraid of trying new media and who are willing to speak up — discoverable, online, unfiltered. Tan Xiao Zheng believes that branding is about putting people into different but right groups, and that listening to artists’ life stories and retelling them is the most rewarding work for a media person.

But please don’t block our sunshine.
