现代性的东西

The modernism of China and its hermitic cultural nature perplexed me for a long time.

中国的现代性以及文化上的封闭性，一直是让我很困惑的东西。

Under this situation, I get in to excavate and record it, and I manage to release the "unnaturalized times scenery" with panoramic view through the art window to find out the strength point of modern art.

对中国现实的关注可以很微观、很具体，力量也很大。中国的很多东西都是超越西方经验的，这些都是中国特有的现代性，是真正的现代景观。

Alternative modernities, so conceived, are cultural, not structural: they differentiate not social systems, but sets of values typically, a distinctive combination of morality and sensibility, making up a certain national 'style' of life.

他所看到的另类现代性是文化上的不是结构上的，差别体现在价值观上而不是社会体制上。典型的情况是道德和情感的独特结合构成某种民族的生活方式，但恰恰因为这是对某个文化来说独特的东西，一般情况下最不容易转移到其他地方，也就是说它是无法普遍化的东西。

This "importation" of the individual consciousness of the creator must however remain controlled. This is of the utmost importance, without constraints or measures we would fall either into the aesthetics of popular taste or into an escalation of elitist vocabulary that would weaken the language. If I myself no longer dare to use oil paints, to revisit or augment, it is due to its intrinsic overabundance of culture; having barely touched the palate, there is an immediate return to the domain of noble art. I would be too scared of creating some useless work while loosing the intensity afforded to a more direct language. Fluctuations in our cultural structure have resulted in vernacular embodying the new norm while I, in the domain of artistic language, have opted for the mode and techniques of traditional embroidery. A long while ago, during the time of the Yuan Ming Yuan artist village, I was convinced that I would run into problems if I applied myself to oil paint. I had produced next to nothing up until the day when, by coincidence, I noticed the many works of embroidery being sold at the entrance to the Summer Palace. I felt like I had finally found my mode of expression, my own personal artistic language. Due to the fact that embroidery belongs to the pre-industrial age, there is a "folkie" quality to it, rural and natural. This ill-defined modern world in which we live must also respond to the demands of "common people", the "lowly" and the "nouveau riche". In some sense, the re-appropriation of this folkloric technique was a necessity, much as it was during the time of the shift from "prose to spoken language" [1], an unavoidable consequence of social upheaval. It was not limited to a mere question of the stylistic signification of the semantic form. What embroidery embodies is a structural modification of society at its most basic level.

虽然它注入了艺术家的个人意识，但关键就是分寸感的把握，不然，或者伦为真的大众趣味，或者切入过多的经英语词汇，而使语言虚弱，就我而言，我不敢重操油画，或是改造扩充，就是由于它本身太文化了，一出手就高雅了，怕弄个不伦不类而失掉语言直接性的强度，文化结构的改变，艺术的俗语是一种趋势，从艺术语言上，我是用传统刺绣方式和手法的，早在圆明园画家村时，我几乎没有画出什么东西，油画肯定觉得使用起来有问题，在当时偶然在颐和园门前，看到很多刺绣的艺术品，一下子感到找到了方法，因为刺绣这种手段属于工业文明之前的东西，它有种土色和平民的感觉，这种也对应了时下的&平常人&、&小人物&、&暴发户&对现代化的消费趣味的追求，那种不伦不类的现代性，正好我的家乡唐山有一个很有名的刺绣厂，找师傅做作品可能更方便，有了这个想法之后，也得到朋友的鼓励，刺绣这一传统民间资源的再利用，在某种意义上说就像&白话文&始于当时社会巨大的转型出现的必然，它不单单是语言风格样式上的意义，它体现的是深层的社会文化结构改变的宣示。

Breath, muscle contraction of the buttocks; arch body, as far as possible to hold his head, right leg straight towards the ceiling (peg-leg knee in order to avoid muscle tension).

呼气，收缩臀部肌肉；拱起身体，尽量抬起头来，右腿伸直朝向天花板（膝微屈，以避免肌肉紧张）。
