展览概念：
上海的艺术群体很早就在整个中国扮演了重要的角色，作为非常活跃的艺术实验启动
者，上海滩1979~2009，回顾了上海当代艺术从1979 年到今天的实践历程。
本次展览将在三个不同层面展开探讨，从展览策展概念到展现方式，都充分说明着上海
的艺术群体在整个中国当代艺术发展进程中的重要性。此次展览不仅仅是对上海当代艺术的
回顾，还是第一次把上海几代“上海滩”的代表艺术家（包括不同的年龄、不同的艺术立场
等）都邀请到一起进行联合展出，所以它还将是上海这座城市的文化动态和近50 位对这座
城市有文化贡献的艺术家、艺术工作者的立场和态度的综合展现。可以说， 上海滩
1979~2009，就是一部立体的上海当代艺术史册。
展览分多个层面和线索进行梳理和探索：
——对文化背景的思考：从1979 年至今，上海当代艺术的历史性线索，以及一个大的
文化背景，是如何影响艺术家个体的思考；作品有时间上的承接，有与当时社会环境紧紧相
扣的上下文关系；
——对艺术语言的思考：从上海艺术群体从上世纪80 年代的行为艺术作品到90 年代初
的装置艺术作品来看，他们在全国来说是最早尝试不同的艺术语言和表达方式的。他们在上
海当年很多的活跃的艺术展点，见缝插针的对艺术的媒介进行了大量的实验，相形同时代的
艺术城市，都不见得比上海迈出的这一步大气。
——对于展现方式的思考：展览避免了传统回顾展的模式，希望展现出艺术家思考的
线索。艺术家在现场展出的作品及其展示的方式，都是策展人根据每个艺术家个体现在的状
态，跟艺术家本人一一讨论出来的。
个体艺术家展现集中于以下几种方式：
1、 展示大部分艺术家在自己的创作中的重要转折点，早期的作品或有象征意义的代表
物；
2、 还原部分90 年代早期的装置艺术作品；由于当时的创作条件、技术手段和保存条
件都十分有限，所以能留存下来的装置作品非常有限，所以艺术家会使用新的制作条件尽量
真实还原这些作品的原态。
3、 采用当年的作品创作形式，作为出发点，以今天的现实作为创作素材，创作出在针
对今天的作品，作品本身也反映当下的社会背景及人物现状。
4、 个人艺术文献和艺术作品的同时展出，表述艺术家的态度是在艺术发展史中贯穿始
4
终，还是因天时地利发生了变化。
5、 部分艺术家会展出他们新近创作的作品，这也缓解了此次展览艺术家群体年龄上的
上跨度，以及展现了上海当代艺术发展的历史性的变化。
展览最后的一部分将邀请住在上海的年轻艺术家以解读性再创造的方式，重新体验或重
新思考他们所选择的历史性的作品，通过这种衔接，策展人希望年轻一代跟艺术发展史发生
更密切的关系，也试图通过这样的举动对我们渐渐模糊的艺术史记忆发出提醒的信号。
本次展览是策展人比利安娜对上海当代展览史文献收集和对30 多为艺术家采访之后的
成果。
所有采访的宝贵资料也会整理成册，并与展览同时推出。
展览希望通过对个体艺术家的展现，也同时能显现出上海当代艺术群体在全国当代艺术
发展中的贡献，以及其中每个个体的发展和各自的思考线索。正因为集聚如此规模的艺术力
量，所以此次展览也得到了众多上海艺术机构的支持，如上海证大现代艺术馆、可当代艺术

Curatorial Concept:
As highly active and experimental, artist groups in Shanghai have long played an
important role in the shaping of the contemporary art world in China. History in the
Making: Shanghai 1979 – 2009 intends to trace an all-encompassing overview of the
Shanghai contemporary art scene since 1979 through to the present.
This exhibition would encourage discussion around three aspects, and the
curatorial framework will help to clarify the sequential role the Shanghai art groups
have played within the larger framework of the development of Chinese
contemporary art in general. This exhibition is not only an overview of the Shanghai
contemporary art scene, but also the first time that several generations of
characteristic artists from Shanghai (including different age groups, different artistic
approaches) have been brought together in the form of an exhibition. In this way, the
exhibition also is an accumulation of the city’s cultural growth and current status
through the perspectives and attitudes of nearly 50 artists and cultural practitioners
who have contributed to the urban culture of Shanghai. We can comfortably say that
History in the Making: Shanghai 1979 – 2009 will be a 3-dimensional historical
analysis of the Shanghai contemporary art scene.
The exhibition would sort through and explore the multiple layers of the social and
cultural fabric of Shanghai, taking note of several important clues:
 First, the exhibition will reflect upon the cultural background of Shanghai:
from 1979 through to the present, how have the historical trends of the
Shanghai contemporary art scene, within a larger cultural perspective,
influenced the individual reflections of the practitioners? How have their
artworks developed over time, and how are they closely connected to the
social background from which they emerge?
 The exhibition will also reflect upon the use and adaptation of different
artistic languages: from the performative works in the 80s to installations in
the early 90s, art groups in Shanghai were always the first in China to
experiment with new artistic languages and presentation tools. Many of the
7
active artistic venues in Shanghai were used as places to practice and
experiment with different mediums, while none of the other artistic centers
of China could compare to the brave and abundant wisdom of Shanghai
during this period.
 Finally, the exhibition will reflect upon the various styles of presentation
developed over the years: this exhibition has consciously avoided the typical
mode of presentation for an overview of this scope. The placement and
curation of the works by the artists on show will be decided after discussions
between the artists and the curator, taking into account the current status of
the different artists.
The presentation of the individual artists will be informed by the following
considerations:
 The important turning points in an artist’s career, including early works or
symbolic objects that express some evolutionary step.
 Certain installations from the early 90s will be reproduced, since few have
been preserved to this day as a result of the limitations of available resources,
materials and space. Thus, the artists will attempt to restore the original
status of the installation using modern techniques.
 The accepted creative style of years past will be adopted as a starting point to
create new artworks that reference also the contemporary attitude, using the
realities of the present day as the materials for creation. The works could also
reflect the current social background and society today.
The overall exhibition of individual artistic documents and works will present the
many attitudes of the artists, and whether or not they were consistent throughout
the development of their personal artistic histories or if they have changed along
with the times and places. Some artists will exhibit their recent works, which also
helps to fill the generational gap of participating artists, and will further explicate the
historical changes of the Shanghai contemporary art scene.

The last part of the exhibition invites young artists in Shanghai to re-experience
or re-consider the historical works. With the establishment of this link, the curator
hopes the younger generation will connect more intimately with the history of
artistic development in China and abroad, and warns against cultural amnesia and
the loss of the history of art.
This exhibition is the work of curator Biljana Ciric, who has been actively collecting
the many historical documents from Shanghai contemporary art exhibitions over the
years and interviewing over 30 artists so far. All interview materials will be sorted out
and published along with other exhibition brochures.
The exhibition hopes to reveal to the great extent that Shanghai contemporary
art groups have contributed to the development of contemporary art nationwide,
while detailing the individual processes of development and creative clues that are
visible in the presentation of the various materials and works. In recognition of the
artistic strength it requires to operate at this scale of activity, it is important to note
that numerous local arts institutions, such as the Shanghai Zendai Museum of
Modern Art and the Ke Center for Contemporary Art, have provided supported to the
exhibition.
