在“生命不能承受之轻”的缭绕岁月飞舞中，如普鲁斯特言：“生命只是一连串孤立的片刻，靠着回忆和幻想，许多意义浮现了，然后消失，消失之后又浮现。”也许，这些片刻，“只有必然，才能沉重；所以沉重，便有价值”。

由“回忆和幻想”创作而成的十二件作品，连缀而成人生那些一切似乎注定“非如此不可”的片刻片断。这些作品，演绎着生命的重量、生命的姿态，在一滴滴晶莹剔透的水体之上，或轻柔地漂浮，或沉沉地交融，令人感受着甜美的生命之轻时，也同样体味到悲凉的“生命”之重。

水，构成了人的身体和生命，而生命的岁月时光，亦如匆匆流水，只是，它会留下一些回忆的痕迹（亦如作品中顽皮孩子怀抱的水枪，学童时代的红领巾、书本）。最终，生命消失殆尽，凝固成一本书。人的身体，在某种意义上，亦如记录生命的书页。

整个展览，艺术家让观众进入意识流般的梦境中，穿梭于一件件作品，仿如反复在漫漫一生中的各个片刻经验剪影中，感受着回忆之玄妙，也透视出幻想之现实，让人沉浸于梦而又没有迷失了路。

In the “unbearable lightness of being”, as Proust said, “Life is a series of isolated moment, relying on his memories and fantasies, many of the emerging significance, then disappear”. At these moments, probably “only necessity is heavy, and only what is heavy has value”.

These twelve works of art, based on “memories” and “fantasies”, by stringing together those seemingly doomed moments of “necessity” in life and giving a full play of the weight and magnificence of life, float lightly or blend intricately on the surface of the crystal-clear and transparent water, arousing a sweet sense of the lightness of life on one hand, and a dismal one of its heaviness on the other.

Water makes up the human body and life. Life elapses in the same manner only that it
leaves traces for memory (like the water pistols held by the naughty kids, the red scarves and books in primary school). In the end, life will fade and condense into a solid book, and in a sense, the human body thereby becomes a page recording our life.

The exhibition will take the visitors into a dreamland in a stream of consciousness, who will flow through these works as if shuttling from silhouette to silhouette of the moments of life. Delighting in the mystique of memory and penetrating the reality in fantasy, we are overwhelmed in dreams but by no means lost.

As a gallery dedicated to discovering and introducing to public new artists, Beijing New Age Gallery will present an outstanding young sculptor, Zou Liang. Born in 1979, he graduated from Sculpture Department, Luxun Academy of Fine Arts in 2003 and finished postgraduate studies at Sculpture Department, China Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2008. Devoted to studies and practice in sculpture ever since he graduated, he had his works exhibited at a number of important domestic and overseas exhibitions. This exhibition will be his first to give a panoramic view of his artistic pursuit.
