The same as "80 after" the curator, said Li Bin, the constant development of contemporary art not only reflected in the media and subject matter, the more reflected in the changes themselves. Young artists are now able to master a variety of media, have their own ideas. Before the contemporary artists are more concerned about the political as well as the relationship between people and society, a new generation of young artists focuses on the feelings of the heart, starting from their own lives and find joy and happiness so that their own things. It is a feeling from the day-to-day in the past, but also go back to the universal: to enlarge their personal feelings for the feelings of a group of people. This is the set of his "poetic day-to-day," the theme of the reasons.

But Li said: "When we all look towards young artists, we still have to remain calm, it is necessary to adhere to certain academic standards."

Video Art:

Consumer market has yet to be cultivated

Use of collections, galleries, artists, such as multiple standards, the image of our art is still in its early stages. As a result of unlimited copies of images do not have the only works of art, its collection is therefore greatly affected. Secondly, video art is the life span of up to 180 years, and because of technical fail, no doubt part of limiting the collection of acts. "Collection of video art collection of the need for a new concept. Image is a living art, like human beings there is sickness and death, we must understand the characteristics of such a life. But also easier to copy means that the promotion could be better and the new media combination. "Shanghai is responsible for the entire photo gallery of people, said Huang YunHe.
