前言

本次展览以现实主义为题，并不是类型学或者风格学上的分析，而更多关注是艺术家对于事物的观看方式和表达手段，折射出他们对当下的反思。

“现实主义”不是来给某个展览、现象、群体下一个定义，但不可否认的是，“现实主义”是一个特殊的存在。现实主义是一个艺术史上的具有历史感的名词，艺术风格可能会更迭，但是它反映客观精神的态度远不会过时。在这里，它更像是一种可以搭载开放多元基因的拓展的平台，在不同语境下不断对接生成新的表达。在不同的领域有着不同的角色和定义，也可以承载魔幻、超越、理性、反叛……这为我们留下了巨大的想象空间。

而滤镜已经成为一种最日常的现实，无处不在。打开手机拍照摄像，美颜修图成为了一种自动生成的技术，更不用说新科技所构建的“虚拟现实”图景。从技术到行为再到思想，毋庸置疑会有潜移默化的“滤镜式”影响。当我们站在作品面前，投射出的光影同每个人自己的形成一种交织，映射出一幅新的现实主义滤镜图景。

这是当下的现实主义，更是时代的滤镜。

Preface

This exhibition is titled Realism Filter, which is not a typological or stylistic analysis, but focuses more on the artists' way of looking at things and their means of expression, reflecting their reflections on the present.

I don't want to use "ism" to define a certain exhibition, phenomenon or group, but it is undeniable that "realism" is a special existence. Realism is a term with a sense of history in art history. Art styles may change, but its attitude of reflecting the objective spirit will never go out of fashion. Here, it is more like a platform that can carry the open and diversified genes to expand, and generate new expressions in different contexts. Can have different roles and definitions in different fields, can also carry magic, transcendence, rationality, rebellion ...... which leaves us a huge space for imagination.

And the filter has become one of the most everyday reality, ubiquitous. Turn on your cell phone to take a picture and camera, beauty retouching has become an automatically generated technology, not to mention the "virtual reality" picture constructed by the new technology. From technology to behavior to thought, there is no doubt that there will be a subtle "filter" influence. When we stand in front of the work, the light and shadow filters that are projected are intertwined with each person's own filters, mapping out a new picture of realism.

This is the realism of the present, but also the filter of the times.
