艺术家的工作过去有点不正常，这在常人看来是这样，现在好像正常一些了，因为思考问题的方式有了调整，比如晚睡晚起，现在开始早睡了，至于何时起床，看心情和每天的工作安排。肯定以画画为主，七零后后的和八零时间的艺术家真的开始用更加艺术和合理的方式做艺术，少有盲目了，这是变化。盲目做艺术，就是摸着石头过河，没有更多的设计，但艺术又不单纯是设计，更多是观念，然后用手和心把它做出来，小心翼翼等待学术和市场的检验，有一个好的结果都是高兴的。这是新艺术家的可爱之处，真诚直接，时间可能会说明一切。所以，每天早睡晚起，多动手画点有意思的东西特别重要，然后接着晚睡晚起，接着早睡晚起，看每天的工作安排和心情……
艺术不是开玩笑，也无法一天或一年完成，被学术认可需要时间，被市场接受需要时间，当然时间越短越好，八零年代的每一个人，含艺术家，都有一夜发达的想法，或是愿望，还特别迫切，也会很认真说出来，他们真的很可爱。
《一前一后》展出的是一个展览的开始和结束的过程。先去了上海，因为世博会，现在回到北京，在上海看的人很多，评价的更多，有些作品没能再回来。
《一前一后》可能描述了时间，因为时间有前后，但没有后前，所以不可能想回去的事了。可能指代地点，换了地，这个可能会来回换，只会越换越好。可能说的是立场，看艺术家有没有前瞻的特质，然后决定后来的工作，这个可能更重要。艺术是表明立场的职业，前辈艺术家会说是事业，反正是个业，所以必须投入，而且看你投的决心，信心和对方向的判断把握。也会是说人，前仆后继，勇往直前，都别落下。
当代艺术在今天有更多更多的可能性，向哪个方向都有戏，千万别停就是了。
In the eye of the public, artists always do something abnormal. Maybe years ago, it is true. In fact, they have changed a lot, not only how they think but also how they live. Now they sleep early, but whether they wake up early depends on their state and work. Artists born in 1970s and 1980s are not aimless any longer; instead, they’re creating in a much more artistic and reasonable way, which is a great adjust. Creating aimlessly is like wading across a stream by feeling the way and designing is ignored in the process. However, artistic creating doesn’t equal to designing. To be exact, art is expressing the thought by hand and heart. But it is often easier said than done. When the work is completed, the artist begins the long time of waiting, waiting for the check of his own work and the pleasure of a good result. They never hide their joy when their work is well-recognized. Being frank and innocent is why the new generation of artists is described as lovely people. Their lifestyle is also influenced by their special character. Every day they sleep early, wake up late, draw something interesting, sleep early and wake up late. All they believe is that time will tell.
No art comes with ease. It takes the artist months or years to finish a work and wait till it is recognized and accepted by the public. Of course, the time is the shorter the better. The thought of becoming successful overnight is common among the 1980s which includes artists, and expressing it carefully makes people think they’re frank and lovely.
The “One By One” display shows the beginning and end of a display. It was held in Shanghai first due to the Expo 2010, and received lots of appreciation and reviews, so some works doesn’t come back. Now the display returns to Beijing.
“One By One” may be a display about time, because time goes from the first to the last and the sequence is set. It may be about space, because people are all on the way to a better place. It also may be a display about standpoint, because the ability to prospect determines one’s future career. Contemporary artists say art is a job to show one’s own standpoint, while predecessors say it is one’s lifelong profession. Anyway, art is a work, so artists must devote themselves to it, and what really count are the determination, confidence and direction. In another word, on the way of art, they need to keep advancing and avoid falling down.
Nowadays, the art has many more possibilities, and is developing to any direction. So what artists should do is to keep moving.
