[粮票告謦，就此打住]

中国不缺文化,缺少的是挖掘传统文化的精神,在这点上我自己也需要反思.
事实已证明,其他门类的艺术也只有带有本民族特性的东西才能在国际舞台上站立.

少苦总结的精辟。同志们，一起来挖金子吧！

问过小孩，这种冰棍店里有卖。作品应该算是Pop Art.

作品标题为“Melting Ice Pops 1999-2004”。冰棍口语里是“pop”（popcicle），与流行文化的“Pop”可能有影射关系。

尼龙丝袜扫描成像。作者臆造新词“内质考古”，“摄影成为一种保存的行为。所关注的对象变成为记忆定位触发装置，甚至引发客观存在。”

At first, Duigenan’s images may appear as sculptural landscapes or satellite views of
unknown territories. In truth, they are vintage ‘stockings’ and more contemporary
nylons.

With Nylon, Duigenan continues her decade of work with familiar objects. Sometimes
they have been disregarded, while at other times they have been things that were kept
and valued. She places them in an environment in such a way as to effect
transformation or bestow status.

Duigenan is fascinated by what she has begun to term ‘intimate archaeology’. “For
me, photography has become an act of preservation and objects I focus on become the
locators or igniters of memory. They can even invoke a presence.”

These modern day digital photograms are made using a flatbed scanner and titles are
derived from actual terms used on packaging and related promotions. She lives and
works in London, England.

很高兴在NONO杂志上看到迟鹏的一幅反映道家思想的作品，而且他在海外办过展览。
思路和前面提到的高氏兄弟的作品同出一辙。这样的东东在海外要好好泛滥成灾才好。

发现一个捷克人竟然捞过界，摹仿轮回图mandala，搞了一批原创图像。佩服的是他一点也不用电脑，全部手工制作。

photo-mandala - spiritual images
photo-mandalas is inspired by mandala - traditional sacred image.

mandala - any of various geometric designs (usually circular) symbolizing the universe;
used chiefly in hinduism and buddhism as an aid to meditation.

the photo-mandalas are real photographs. same as with traditional mandalas, you can
use the photo-mandalas as an aid to meditation...

the more you look at the image, the more you see. new worlds, new levels come up
from the centre of the picture - and you can go deeper and deeper inside the image. in
the image, there is no up, no down, no left, no right, no past, no future, everything
happens at the present moment while you are viewing the image. just unity. a circle with
no beginning, neverending. inner peace...

the prints are made completely by hand, they have never seen a computer. i believe this
way i can keep the energy of the prints. each photomandala is a record of one real
moment from my life. sometimes i also call this portfolio wheel of life. the name of each
image is usually simply the place where i took the picture.

感谢虫虎同志搜集介绍了这么多洋狼
20多年，我们的金子也一定被挖出不少吧，至少90s来吧。
继续关注……

悲观花朵讲到九十年代的传统热，联系到时下的全球性中国热，感言几句：

日本全盘西化后，迅速强大。在1870年（？）第一次参加巴黎世界博览会，摆地摊放了很多宝贝。西方人非常挑剔地，有选择地接纳了浮世绘，因为他们只能看得懂通俗年画。浮世绘对统治地位的西方美术界的影响力，从后印象派开始，仅高更一人就够本了。

纯个人观点，徐冰用《天书》第一个进攻西方，成功登陆，好个侦察兵。他身后的诸多特种兵里，方力均的光头炸药药力最足。第一个滩头阵地，还是年画性质的，比较多的看好西方肤浅的口味，寻找突破口。表面化的中国符号占主流。

最近不一样了。第二波攻势里，有人用道家思想给西方人洗脑（见#57贴），超越了中国符号或者年画，开始形成第二个阵地。时机很好，西方可接受，否则没有curators挑选接纳。六十年代至简主义(Minimalism)盛行时，也是日本禅宗大举进攻的大好时机。禅宗的建筑园林在加州着实泛滥一阵，今天到处可见，成了进攻西方的活标本。

我们处在第二波的文化攻势中，交流比第一波来得平等，也心平气和。成功的关键，是将传统的内涵，映射到当代社会的现实问题中去。

路很长，一步步来。
