藝術家的工作過去有點不正常，這在常人看來是這樣，現在好像正常一些了，因為思考問題的方式有了調整，比如晚睡晚起，現在開始早睡了，至于何時起床，看心情和每天的工作安排。肯定以畫畫為主，七零后后的和八零時間的藝術家真的開始用更加藝術和合理的方式做藝術，少有盲目了，這是變化。盲目做藝術，就是摸著石頭過河，沒有更多的設計，但藝術又不單純是設計，更多是觀念，然后用手和心把它做出來，小心翼翼等待學術和市場的檢驗，有一個好的結果都是高興的。這是新藝術家的可愛之處，真誠直接，時間可能會說明一切。所以，每天早睡晚起，多動手畫點有意思的東西特別重要，然后接著晚睡晚起，接著早睡晚起，看每天的工作安排和心情……
藝術不是開玩笑，也無法一天或一年完成，被學術認可需要時間，被市場接受需要時間，當然時間越短越好，八零年代的每一個人，含藝術家，都有一夜發達的想法，或是愿望，還特別迫切，也會很認真說出來，他們真的很可愛。
《一前一后》展出的是一個展覽的開始和結束的過程。先去了上海，因為世博會，現在回到北京，在上海看的人很多，評價的更多，有些作品沒能再回來。
《一前一后》可能描述了時間，因為時間有前后，但沒有后前，所以不可能想回去的事了。可能指代地點，換了地，這個可能會來回換，只會越換越好。可能說的是立場，看藝術家有沒有前瞻的特質，然后決定后來的工作，這個可能更重要。藝術是表明立場的職業，前輩藝術家會說是事業，反正是個業，所以必須投入，而且看你投的決心，信心和對方向的判斷把握。也會是說人，前仆后繼，勇往直前，都別落下。
當代藝術在今天有更多更多的可能性，向哪個方向都有戲，千萬別停就是了。
In the eye of the public, artists always do something abnormal. Maybe years ago, it is true. In fact, they have changed a lot, not only how they think but also how they live. Now they sleep early, but whether they wake up early depends on their state and work. Artists born in 1970s and 1980s are not aimless any longer; instead, they’re creating in a much more artistic and reasonable way, which is a great adjust. Creating aimlessly is like wading across a stream by feeling the way and designing is ignored in the process. However, artistic creating doesn’t equal to designing. To be exact, art is expressing the thought by hand and heart. But it is often easier said than done. When the work is completed, the artist begins the long time of waiting, waiting for the check of his own work and the pleasure of a good result. They never hide their joy when their work is well-recognized. Being frank and innocent is why the new generation of artists is described as lovely people. Their lifestyle is also influenced by their special character. Every day they sleep early, wake up late, draw something interesting, sleep early and wake up late. All they believe is that time will tell.
No art comes with ease. It takes the artist months or years to finish a work and wait till it is recognized and accepted by the public. Of course, the time is the shorter the better. The thought of becoming successful overnight is common among the 1980s which includes artists, and expressing it carefully makes people think they’re frank and lovely.
The “One By One” display shows the beginning and end of a display. It was held in Shanghai first due to the Expo 2010, and received lots of appreciation and reviews, so some works doesn’t come back. Now the display returns to Beijing.
“One By One” may be a display about time, because time goes from the first to the last and the sequence is set. It may be about space, because people are all on the way to a better place. It also may be a display about standpoint, because the ability to prospect determines one’s future career. Contemporary artists say art is a job to show one’s own standpoint, while predecessors say it is one’s lifelong profession. Anyway, art is a work, so artists must devote themselves to it, and what really count are the determination, confidence and direction. In another word, on the way of art, they need to keep advancing and avoid falling down.
Nowadays, the art has many more possibilities, and is developing to any direction. So what artists should do is to keep moving.
