2011年4月2日，艺美画廊十分高兴举办“艺境-----当代艺术与空间展”。对于我们来说，这个展览具有十分重要的意义，她是艺美画廊今后重要推动方向之一。艺美在以前，也和其它画廊一样，所策划的展览主要针对的是小众群体，包括艺术家、收藏家和其它参与者都是如此，有只可远观而不可亵玩的意味。但有鉴于社会经济的飞速发展，文明的进步，大众群体对艺术的需求日益强烈，以及艺术本身走向生活、环境的大趋势，艺美也在寻求改变中。我们希望能够通过本次展览，开通为社会大众服务的渠道；同时，也为合作已久的小众群体拓展出更为广阔的作为空间和市场空间。我们最终目的是让艺术走入生活，在我们的生活、办公空间里，享受到艺术品带来的愉悦感。

艺术品走入现实生活的发展趋势早已不是新鲜事。简单的库存收藏、以投资保价、彰显品位为目的艺术品市场毕竟只针对小部分群体。对于大众来说，这些象牙塔中的小众艺术太过遥远，而承载我们衣食住行的生活空间，才是最需要艺术来引导与指导的。在这里，艺美画廊相信自己有责任，也有能力，去帮助人们解决艺术品与生活空间相结合的问题，提高人们的审美修养；并且，通过这种方式，帮助艺术家们开辟更加广阔的市场，提供更为丰富的社会角色；更为重要的是，挖掘艺术品本身更加丰富的功能和魅力。我们需要重新平衡艺术发展中的各大要素，让更多的人享之于艺，受之于艺。

作为每一个独一无二的社会人，我们都和睿智的艺术家一样，有独特的品位、审美和兴趣爱好，有自己偏爱的形状、色彩和质地。残酷的是在我们的成长道路中，创造的天性逐渐被从众心理消减，我们不再用艺术的眼光欣赏生活，也没有想过：生活的空间可以因为自己的美好而独特。这次展览的主要目的之一就是通过观众对艺境的切身体验，鼓励和启发观众积极创造。因此，对于高品味审美眼光的培养必须从环境艺术创作开始，我们将从中获得以本体为中心的充分的艺境体验。作为艺术与大众关系的桥梁，艺美画廊的任务则是通过艺境营造，使艺术与环境和谐共融，以达成对观众审美方式、审美情趣、生活品质的反省和提高。同时，也希望寓教于艺，通过对环境空间的美化，从而丰富社会的美育和寓美的功能。

中国美学中，有一个著名的论题由王昌龄《诗格》提出-------“处身于境，视境于心，莹然掌中，了然境象”。只有通过这种方式，我们方可得欣赏之妙趣、艺术生活之真味。

ARTMIA Gallery is more than pleased to host the “ARTMIA Living: Contemporary Art and Space Exhibition” in April 2nd, 2011. This exhibition, which is of great importance to us, will direct ARTMIA Gallery’s promotion work in the future. In the past, ARTMIA, the same as other galleries, planned exhibitions targeted mainly at a small minority, including artists, collectors and other participants, which is somewhat unapproachable for the average. However, given the rapid economic development and great progress of civilization, the masses have an increasingly strong demand for art, and in turn art itself is getting closer to life while ARTMIA is also seeking changes. We hope this exhibition will facilitate channels to serve the public, and meanwhile open up more development space and market space for our minority long-time partners. It is our ultimate aim to incorporate art with life, and enable people to enjoy the pleasure brought by artworks in our lives and offices.

It is not a newly trend for artworks to integrate into real life. After all, featured by simple stock collection insured for investment, the art market aimed at highlighting quality and taste only caters to a small minority. For the public, the minority art in the ivory tower is too distant away, while what in the most urgent need of art to direct and guide is the living space carrying our basic necessities of life. ARTMIA Gallery believes in her responsibility and capability to help people incorporate artworks with living space in order to improve people’s aesthetic cultivation, and in this way to help artists open up a broader market, providing them with more extensive social roles, and more importantly, to tap the richer function and charm of artworks themselves. It is necessary for us to retrieve a balance among various major elements in the artistic development, so that more and more people will enjoy art and benefit from art.

As a unique member in the society, each of us resembles a wise artist with exceptional aesthetic taste and interest, as well as favorite shape, color and texture. The cruel truth lies along the path of our growth; the nature of creation has been gradually undermined by group psychology. As a result, we no longer enjoy life from an artistic perspective, and it never occurs to us that living space can be unique because of our own beauty. One of the main purposes of this exhibition is to encourage and inspire the audience to embark on an active creation based upon personal experience of ARTMIA Living. Therefore, the cultivation of decent aesthetic taste must begin from the creation of environmental art, in which we will obtain abundant experience of ARTMIA Living centered on noumenon. Serving as a bridge between art and the public, ARTMIA Gallery has a mission to combine art and environment in a harmonious manner by creating ARTMIA Living in order to prompt the audience to reflect on and improve their aesthetic style, aesthetic taste and life quality. Meanwhile, we hope to incorporate education with art, thus enriching the aesthetic and educational function of the society through the beautification of environment and space.

In Chinese aesthetics, there exists a well-known thesis issued by Wang Changling in his poem Shige (poetic style): “Internalize the environment where you are, so that you will understand the environment keenly and achieve a harmonious unity with nature.” Only in this way, can we appreciate artistic wonders and the genuine meaning of artistic life.
