白盒子艺术馆荣幸地宣布，12月17日-18日，本馆将举办“ InsideOut Step2  里面外、外面里II —— 西方影像艺术最新趋势”展，参展作品选自第一、第二届罗马国际影像艺术节，由意大利罗马应用多媒体艺术研究中心推荐。参展作品包括由Le Momo Electronique策展委员会收藏的最引人入胜的作品。Le Momo Electronique策展委员会多年来对意大利及其他国际影像作品关注尤甚（特别是40以下艺术家作品）。参加本次展览的年轻艺术家，很多已经取得了意大利及其他重要国际大奖的奖项，并且在国际上取得了相当的知名度。

9位来自美国、北欧及意大利的艺术家将在白盒子艺术馆影像中心展示他们的作品。就像策展人为我们描述的那样“即使每个艺术家都有他们不同的个性、工作方式或研究方向，我们还是发现他们在精准元素上的相同点：某些明确的趋势，某些技法的运用和对某些理论的理解。总体来说，参展作品不仅从视觉技术角度（即使艺术家们常用最先进的设备和制作方式），并且特别通过隐喻的结构：没有故事，没有对话，没有戏剧性等等，清晰地展示了其叙事性与实验性。艺术家们使用了“纯声音图像”的语言，试图将以“话语”为中心的“表现形式”不能得到的新含义带入到现实里……它不是现实的替代品，而是一种原始现象，在形式的演变过程中是可读的……正是因为对这些突变的阅读，像写作似的构思和练习，我们能经常发现艺术家对影像意义的切入点。”

“InsideOut Step2  里面外、外面里II —— 西方影像艺术最新趋势”展是“里面外、外面里”项目自2010以来第二次活动。第一次“ 里面外、外面里”项目展览是于2010年在罗马与中国当代影像艺术大师张培力合作举办的，意大利应用多媒体艺术研究中心希望在西方与远东之间建立一个稳定的影像艺术交流基础。

白盒子艺术馆自2009年建馆以来，一直作为中国影像艺术发展支持者的身份出现，两个非营利机构之间有着合作的共同点。

在今下的北京，推广国际影像艺术家是一件历史性的重要事件，特别考虑到中国不仅即将成为世界经济领域的主要参考，并且也必将在文化领域占有重要的驱动地位。白盒子艺术馆与意大利应用多媒体艺术研究中心很高兴迈出当代影像艺术文化交流合作的第一步，并且非常感谢Lab-Yit | The Italian Contemporary Art Platform in China, 意大利文化处 （北京），罗马大学孔子学院的支持。

InsideOut Step2
Latest trends of Western Videoart

On December 17th  and 18th  White Box Museum of  Art has the pleasure to open its door to InsideOut Step2 – Latest trends in Western Videoart, an international selection from the first two editions of Arte Video Roma Festival proposed by C.A.R.M.A. - Applied Multimedia Art and Research Center (Rome, Italy). The selection will include some of the most interesting works collected by the curatorial board Le Momo Electronique during its several years monitoring work on Italian and foreign productions, with a special attention to works from artists under-40. Although quite young, many of the artists have already won important awards in Italy and in other countries, and several are widely known into international circuits.

Nine Artists from America, North Europe and Italy will be screened in the prestigious Media Center of White Box Museum of Art. As the curators explain, "Even if each artist has his own particular characteristics, specific methods of work and personal research directions, they have in common some precise elements, some specific trends, a certain approach to technologies and some theoretical understandings. In all cases, these works show a "narrative" level  that is clearly and radically experimental, not just from the technological point of view (even if they often use the most advanced devices and methods of production), but especially with regard to construction of metaphors: no dialogue, no story, no drama... These artists, by using the language of "pure audiovision", are trying to bring to reality possibilities of meaning forbidden to forms of expression that are centered on the word... It is never a surrogate of reality but an original phenomenon, readable in its natural evolution of the form... Exactly by reading the directions of these mutations, conceived and practiced as writing, symbolic but yet mobile, we can often find their main access points to its sense”.

InsideOut Step2 is the second Phase of the Project InsideOut in 2010. Since the event was held in Rome in collaboration with Zhang Peili, the master of Chinese Video Art in China, C.A.R.M.A has shown its intent to create a basis for the construction of a stable flow of exchanges, with regard to this form of expression, between the West and the Far East.
White Box Museum, as a relevant supporter of Chinese Video Artists since 2009, has seen a common of intent between these two important No-profit institutions.

The promotion of these international artists in Beijing today is an important  historical event, especially considering that China is about to become not only one of the main reference point in the economic sector, but also one of the major driving regions in the cultural field. White Box Museum of Art and C.A.R.M.A. are really pleased to collaborate for this First step of cultural exchange with also the support of the Italian Cultural Institute in Beijing ( IIC ) , Lab-Yit | The Italian Contemporary Art Platform in China, and Confucius Institute – Sapienza University of Rome.
