798白盒子艺术馆将于2010年12月31日至2011年1月15日推出艺术家刘旭光 “日常与无常”抽象水墨展。开幕仪式及酒会定于12月31日周五下午3点，免费入场。

刘旭光，生于北京，现任北京电影学院新媒体艺术实验室主任，曾留学日本并任教东京艺术大学。在刘旭光的观念深处，他并不认为传统的水墨画能够表现现代的精神，西方现代艺术也有其文化的规定性，照搬过来的形式不可能表现中国人认识世界和把握世界的特有方式， 中国文化的精髓不仅从历史流淌至今，而且还在演绎今天的故事。

“日常与无常”展出架上与影像结合的抽象水墨，刘旭光采用后现代的表达方式, 不仅是语言的问题, 而是表达了今天的存在, 传统的意义在今天的现实需要中生发出来, 同时也暗示了孤立地继承于今天也没有意义。水墨画本来是无需解读的, 但作为观念的水墨则在水墨的表象后面隐藏着本质的客体。文明的进程是通过人类作用于自然留下的痕迹来识别的, 刘旭光把痕迹抽取出来, 赋予痕迹以多种含义。艺术最本质的东西是形式的创造, 一种文化中最本质的东西是对人生人性的思考，我们期待通过刘旭光的语言方式，去追问本土思想的本源，追求水墨画的本质意义。

DEFINITE AND UNDEFINITE
——LIU XUGUANG’S ABSTRACT INK PAINTING EXHIBITION

Liu Xuguang's abstract ink painting exhibition DEFINITE AND UNDEFINITE will be showcased in White Box Museum of Art of 798 Art District, from 31st December, 2010 to 15th January, 2011. An opening reception is scheduled for Friday, December 31 at 3:00 pm, admission is free.

Born in Beijing, Liu Xuguang works as director at new media art lab of Beijing Film Academy, he had studied in Japan and taught in Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music.

DEFINITE AND UNDEFINITE showcases both abstract ink painting and imaging art. Liu Xuguang’s application of the post-modern expression method is not a mere language problem but a creative way to describe the present existence. It is from the demand of the present reality that the significance of tradition springs up; at the same time, it is also implied that inheriting classic paintings simply and impractically does not make any sense to artistic and cultural development. The conceptional ink painting does not necessarily require a hermeneutical explanation, its objective nature lies hidden behind the surface of the ink and wash. Since the civilization progress is to be defined by the tracks or marks of human impact on nature, Liu Xuguang abstracts these marks and entrusts them with different connotation. The creation of forms is the nature of art, while the thinking of life and humanity is the core of culture. By means of Liu Xuguang's own artistic language, we look forwards to search for the local spiritual source, and the nature of the ink painting.
