“步履不停：1995-2019年中国当代艺术的城市叙事”将于2019年10月18日至12月15日在上海多伦现代美术馆展出。本次展览由上海多伦现代美术馆主办，吴蔚担任策展人，以公共空间和当代艺术实践的交叉点为研究对象，聚焦20世纪90年代中期以来以城市街头为主题的中国当代艺术实践。展览期间，在美术馆内部空间和多伦路街区，同时展出十七位艺术家创作的当代艺术作品，涵盖绘画、摄影、影像、雕塑、装置等不同艺术形式。本次展览将免费向公众开放。

展览以“步履不停”为主题，关注艺术家在城市街头行走、漫游、渐进的持续旅程。他们的作品表现了艺术家对于社会环境、城市空间及人群的批判性思考，呈现了个人和集体的记忆与经验，并将变革带到日常生活中。

20世纪90年代，随着中国城市化进程的加快，当代艺术家开始主动关注并探索城市公共空间，他们改变了以往对公共空间的认知和介入方式，进一步扩大了文化和美学表达的范围。当艺术进入人们日常生活中熟悉的场所和领地，“街道”不仅记录了艺术观念和实践变化的轨迹，也见证了城市发展和公共文化的历史，突显了其中社群生活的特性与意义。本次展览尝试让艺术成为连接美术馆与社区、艺术家与大众之间的桥梁。

本次展览还将展出特别项目“‘62761232快递展’档案”，这是“62761232快递展”的文献档案首次在国内美术馆与公众见面。2004年9月，由上海比翼艺术中心发起，四十二位艺术家和十五位快递员参与了一次特别的“外卖”展览。“快递展”期间，上海市民可以通过拨打快递公司的电话，让快递员将浓缩在一个行李箱里的展览带到面前。十五年后，我们将通过当年展览的文献档案，回顾这个具有启发性的艺术项目，展现艺术家在大变局时代的独特视野与前瞻性，重新定义艺术、公众和城市之间的关系。此次特别项目得到香格纳画廊文献库的大力协助。

本次展览将同时参与2019上海城市空间艺术季联合展，以及2019年“1+16”美术馆市民共享计划，以“艺术美育再升级”为目的，使市民和美术馆的距离更近，参与更多，体验更佳，从而不断提升市民的内在审美和人文素养。

通过本次活动展示的不同门类的艺术作品，希望吸引更多的市民参与互动，为整个多伦路街区的发展拓展思考空间。在此，观众和艺术家都是现代都市的行者，共同感知当代城市的肌理，挖掘现代生活的细节，激发创造性思维，使重塑城市空间和公共生活成为可能。

A Turning Moment: Urban Narratives in Chinese Contemporary Art, 1995-2019

Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art is pleased to announce the launch of A Turning Moment: Urban Narratives in Chinese Contemporary Art, 1995-2019 from October 18 to December 15, 2019. Curated by Azure Wu, the exhibition, featuring the intersection of public space and contemporary art practice, responds to Chinese contemporary art practice themed on urban streets since mid-1990s. During the exhibition period, contemporary art works covering painting, photography, video, sculpture and installation from 17 artists are slated to be on display both inside the museum and outside the museum, on Duolun Road. The exhibition is free to the public.

Themed as A Turning Moment, the exhibition focuses on the artists’ progressive journey through the city streets, walking and wandering. Showing the artists’ critical thinking on social environment, urban space and people, their works present individual and collective memories and experiences, and bring changes to everyday life.

In the 1990s, with the acceleration of China’s urbanization process, artists started to pay attention and explore urban public space. They have changed the way they used to perceive and intervene in public space and further expanded the scope of cultural and aesthetic expression. When art enters into places or territories where people are familiar with, streets not only keep the record of tracks of artistic concepts and practice changes but also become the witness of city development and public culture, which highlights the peculiarity and significance of community life. The exhibition attempts to build a bridge between museum and community, artist and public with art.

A special project called Archives of Dial 62761232, A Portable Exhibition will be introduced to the public at the same time, which is its first time to be presented in the domestic museum. BizArt initiated a special take-out exhibition in September, 2004, in which 42 artists as well as 15 deliverymen took part. During that exhibition, Shanghai citizens could call express company to ask a deliveryman to bring the exhibition in a suitcase. 15 years passing by, we will review the inspiring art project through archives of that year to show the artists’ unique vision and foresight in times of great change and redefine the relationship among art, public and the city. Great thanks to Shanghart Gallery for the literature files.

The exhibition will participate in the joint exhibition of 2019 Shanghai Urban Space Art Season and 1+16 Sharing Program of Museums and Citizens. Aiming to upgrade art aesthetic education, this event is part of an ongoing effort to constantly improve the internal aesthetic and humanistic quality of citizens.

We hope to attract more citizens to participate in the interaction through the art works of various kind, expanding thinking space for the development of Duolun Road. Perceiving the texture of contemporary cities, digging into details of modern life, stimulating creative thinking, here, artists and visitors are all modern city walkers, making it possible to reshape urban space and public life.
