没有人曾为某个城市的当代艺术立传,因而我写《西安当代艺术史》,很多朋友觉得奇怪,尤其是曾经怂恿我撰写中国当代艺术史却被我拒绝的友人。其实除了各地“诸侯”汇聚的北京,很多大城市的当代艺术都需要立传,因为我们面对的时代是一个千载难逢的时代。它是文化极速转型和剧烈震荡的时代,它会在另外的国度重演。它既有理由成为他国他人的参照,更有理由进入历史。
No one ever made a biography of contemporary art in a certain city. Therefore, I wrote the History of Contemporary Art in Xi’an, and many of my friends find it strange. Especially my friend, who once encouraged me to write a history of contemporary Chinese art, was rejected by me. In fact, in addition to Beijing, where all the “princes” converge, contemporary art in many big cities needs to be disseminated because the era we face is a time-honored one. It is the era of rapid cultural transformation and violent culture, it will be repeated in another country. It has both reasons to become a reference to others in other countries and more reason to enter history.
