This year's art festival is the highest in the past 798 art festivals in terms of time span and richness of exhibitions and activities.
The core content of this festival is the theme exhibition "Re-experiment: Reaffirmation of Intelligence and Will". In the downturn of the market, the 798 Art Festival launched this promotion plan for young artists, aiming at providing a platform for the 798 Art Festival, discovering more outstanding young artists more effectively, showing the vitality and enthusiasm of young people themselves, and calling back the public and the media's attention to the development of contemporary art in a new way, expressing a forward-looking attitude, so as to show the importance and influence of the 798 Art District.
Compared with previous years, this exhibition has made a great breakthrough. For the first time, the Organizing Committee of the 798 Art Festival solicited works from young artists from China at home and abroad. In the end, more than 8 young artists applied with outstanding works, including many shining stars of tomorrow. The jury composed of many well-known art institutions, curators, critics and media people, as well as the curatorial team of this youth exhibition, made a strict selection of the participating works. In order to explore and encourage young artists with experimental spirit, the excellent works of 44 young artists finally entered this exhibition. On October 25th, 29, the Award Presentation Ceremony of Young Artists' Recommendation Exhibition will be held, and four special, first, second and third prizes of the Award for Young Artists' Recommendation Exhibition will be announced, as well as one media award, one experimental spirit award and one cutting-edge artist award jointly selected by the media.
This young artists' recommendation exhibition has been positively affirmed and supported by many curators and critics. "Young people's unique exploration trajectory can be clearly seen in these works," said Ms. Guo Xiaoyan, the chief curator of Ullens Center for Contemporary Art. "The significance of our support for them is that art needs new strength." Dr. Yin Shuangxi, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Art Research of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, spoke highly of this art festival and the recommended exhibition for young artists: "Young artists are the hope of China art, and the 798 Art Festival is a festival and stage for young artists. It is expected that the 798 Art District will become an incubator of contemporary art in China and promote the rapid growth of active and healthy contemporary art. " Mr. Xia Jifeng, director of Iberian Center for Contemporary Art, looks forward to the future of young artists: "It is far more important to have the courage and responsibility to face the basic social values and morality than to have the means to deal with an economic crisis, especially artists who are elite intellectuals."
With the attention and support from all walks of life in the art circle, we have reason to believe that these young artists will definitely go further on the road of art..
