作者对艺术家的访谈是理解每位艺术家的艺术创作及他们对本地艺术大环境所做贡献的最直接的切入点。这一个个独立的 切入点及一些不为人知的艺术实践和思想过程,将会使我们对上海当代艺术发展有一个更为立体的认知。
该书涉及了各个时期的艺术家(包括不同时期的艺术家群体以及他们对当代艺术的不同理解)。因此,通过近50位艺术家 及文化工作者的阐述,该部出版物以及整个出版系列力图梳理、展示这座城市30年来当代艺术的成长过程。
“上海滩1979—2009上海当代艺术回顾展为我们了解上海当代艺术变迁提供了非常有价值的见解。对于各个年代的艺术家个 人或群体怎样进行艺术实践(部分资料由于各种原因遗憾丢失)的深度剖析无疑给我们每一个人带来了一次全新的探索。 展览按时间顺序加以展示这一直截了当的方式(对于大量复杂信息的精妙挑选)为新的学术诠释提供了一个至关重要的框 架。为未来的研究工作建立了一个很高的标准。”芭芭拉•伦敦,策展人, 纽约现代艺术博物馆,新媒体和行为艺术部。
“...记住过去应与我们正在做或将要做的同样成为整个世界的当务之急。正如同我们对于信息的不断消耗,我们的记忆同 样应该被平等的赋予更大的活力。没有事物是始终如一的,没有事物是不断重复自身的,万物都在持续变化着。随着世间 万物的变迁,似乎也证实了伊斯利尔•罗森菲尔德的话:‘我们必须为不可预知的环境时刻准备着。’比利安娜策划的展 览:上海滩1979——2009上海当代艺术回顾展将这些论证生动地展现在我们眼前,这个展览是对“向遗忘提出抗议”最大 的贡献,展览不仅仅是一个对上海当代艺术史的调研,同时还对上海几代艺术家在不同时期的工作加以梳理并在一起展现 出来,而这又恰好印证了厄尔文•帕诺夫斯基的观点:未来是建立在历史的框架上的。” 汉斯.尤利斯.奥布里斯特, 蛇形画 廊,策展人和国际交流总监。

We are proud to present the first in series of three books mapping the contemporary art practices of Shanghai from 1979-2009.
The first publication is titled:    History in Making: Shanghai 1979-2009,    and includes artist interviews and an archive of works that was compiled over the course of preparation for the exhibition, and through discussion with the participating artists. The book contains interviews conducted with artists during 2008 and 2009, and presents the different stages of contemporary art production in Shanghai, and China at large, through the individual stories and recollections of artists.
All interviews were conducted by Biljana Ciric, and these include: “BeiHeMeng” Photography Group, Birdhead, Chen Yanyin, Ding Yi, Gong Jianqing, Gu Lei, He Yang, Hu Jianping, Hu Jieming, Huang Kui, Jin Feng (the younger), Jin Feng + Su Chang, Jin Shan, Li Mu, Li Pinghu, Li Shan, Liang Yue, Liu Jianhua, Lu Chunsheng, M Group, Mian Mian, Ni Jun,Ni Weihua, Qian Weikang, Qiu Anxiong, Qiu Deshu, Shen Fan, Shi Yong, Song Haidong, Song Tao, Sun Liang, Tang Guangming, Tang Maohong, Xiang Liqing, Xu Zhen, Yang Fudong, Yang Hui, Yang Xu, Yang Zhenzhong, Yu Youhan, Zhangding, Zhang Enli, Zhang Jianjun, Zhang Pingjie, Zhang Xin, Zhou Xiaohu, Zhou Zixi, and Cenaculo. The book also includes texts contributed by Gu Zhen, Wu Liang, and Zhao Chuan.
The idea to do the interviews came about with regard to the need for a kind of key for the understanding of the various artistic practices present through these years, and their ongoing contributions to the local art scene. At the same time, these interviews became very important tools for the understanding not only of individual artistic practices, but also in the way that they, together, point towards the larger social background of this time period as well, bringing to light an intimacy that has not necessarily entered the public discourse as of yet.
For the first time, several generations of artists from Shanghai (including those from different age groups and different artistic approaches), bringing them together in the form of a book. In this way, the book is also an accumulation of the city’s cultural growth and alludes to its current status as viewed through the perspectives and attitudes of nearly 50 artists and cultural practitioners who have contributed to the cultural development of Shanghai over the last 30 years.
“History in the Making provided invaluable insights into contemporary art as it evolved in Shanghai. The in-depth look of how multiple generations developed (and in some cases unfortunately abandoned) their art practices meant new discoveries for everyone. The straightforward chronological presentation (a brilliant culling of complex information) offered a much needed framework for new scholarly interpretations. The exhibition sets a high standard for future research”, Barbara London, Associate Curator, Department of Media and Performance Art, MoMA.
“...The urgency of the world should be matched by an urgency to remember. Like the information we consume, our memory should be equally dynamic. Nothing is ever identical, nothing ever repeats itself, everything is constantly changing. With the world in constant flux, it would seem Israel Rosenfield was right; “we must be prepared for unpredictable circumstances”. Such dynamism is embodied in Biljana Ciric’s exhibition History in the Making: Shanghai 1979-2009 exhibition is a wonderful contribution to the protest against forgetting. More than simply a survey of contemporary art, this exhibition brought together different generations of artists from Shanghai, illustrating Erwin Panofsky’s idea that future is built on fragments of the past.” By Hans Ulrich Obrist.
The aim of publishing this project is to archive and present in the most comprehensive way the contemporary art history of the Shanghai-based artist community from 1979 to the present, and it’s related material.
The modernization of China and the pace of the country’s transformation has added to its development of a very short term memory, so that many things become a part of the past very quickly and get lost in the minds of individuals. This is what is happening in many fields, including contemporary art.
These three books will realize an archive that consists of very objective facts, thereby revealing the path that the artistic community of Shanghai has gone through, while also pointing towards the future.
Most of the material used in the book was collected through the interviews with the different artists and through the archival material that they provided for the project.
Publications still to come: History in Making: Shanghai 1979-2009
-History of Exhibition-Making -Artists’ Collections: Poetry and Writings
Publisher of Rejected Collection, Charta will be also present at the event so it is great opportunity to introduce their publishing program to Shanghai.
