与红门画廊的三次合作

我眼中的红门画廊就是东便门漂亮的角楼，所以在我的脑海里一直认为红门画廊是中国画廊中最漂亮的画廊。

红门画廊在北京的影响力，在当时艺术界已经是无人不知。那时候能在红门画廊做展览是一件很快乐的事。

我和红门有过三次合作，回想起来都很美好。三个展览都是布朗找我策划的，自然都与实验水墨有关：第一个是2005年“质性：实验水墨报告”；第二次2007年“痕迹与气质”；第三次是2009年“终结水墨画！创造自己的当代艺术”。从策展的题目看这三个展览如果放在今天是不太可能可以在画廊做的，这三个展览均与市场毫无关系。其实这样的展览是应该在美术馆做的。

事实上，这三个展览尽管在当时规模并不大，但都可算作实验水墨比较重要的推动项目，既是批判保守主义对水墨发展的禁锢，更是推进中国前卫水墨走向世界、探讨国际化的水墨发展的重要时机。确实影响深远。两个月前红门画廊电话我，讲到有一位美国大学的学者在红门看过实验水墨展览，他目前正在撰写对中国实验水墨的研究。他一方面通过红门画廊找到我核实当时实验水墨的学术状况；另一方面寻求相关的研究书籍。全球化的对实验水墨的研究正在不断发酵，近十年从美国大都会到瑞士苏黎世里特贝尔格博物馆、洛杉矶郡立艺术博物馆都对水墨做了专题研究展。

为此我不尽要感谢红门画廊，更感谢画廊的主持人布朗先生。无论他的胆识以及胸怀都让我敬佩。红门的30年不仅见证了中国改革开放后现当代艺术的发展，也为中国现当代艺术的推进付出了努力。在合作的那些日子里我们不仅相互支持，重要的是相互信任。

一位外国朋友能在北京做画廊，并坚持30年，这已不是敬业的理想及精神可以说明的，这是一种境界。

Three projects with Red Gate Gallery

I always think of Red Gate Gallery in the Dongbianmen Tower as the most beautiful gallery in China.

It's a great pleasure to hold an exhibition in the Red Gate.

Red Gate and I have worked together three times. In retrospect, they were all splendid. The three exhibitions were designed by Brian and naturally related to experimental ink painting: Quality of Materiality: Experimental Ink and Wash in 2005; Traces and Temperament in 2007; Back to Basics! Traditional Ink and Wash as a Contemporary Vision. Judging from these titles the curatorial concept, a commercial gallery may not be the most appropriate place to hold them – they should be in a museum!

Although the scale of these three exhibitions was not large, they could be regarded as very important promotional projects for experimental ink painting. The development of experimental ink and wash has been constrained by some conservative attitudes to this medium, so these were important opportunities to promote China's avant-garde ink and wash to the world and explore the international development of it. It is really far-reaching. Two months ago, Red Gate called me to say that an American university scholar had seen one of the shows and that he is currently writing a research paper about this form of ink painting. Through Red Gate he came to me to verify the academic status of experimental ink painting and to find more relevant research books. The research of experimental ink is constantly fermenting and beginning to globalize. In the past ten years, the Metropolitan Museum in NY, the Ritterberg Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, and the Los Angeles Municipal Museum of Art have all presented special research exhibitions on ink and wash.

For this reason, I would like to thank Red Gate Gallery and the founder, Mr. Wallace. I admire him for his courage and determination. In 30 years, Red Gate not only witnessed the development of modern and contemporary art after China's reform and opening up, but also contributed to the promotion of modern and contemporary art in China. We supported each other, but also trusted in each other’s vision.

一转眼红门都30周年了，我回头翻看个人简历，发现第一次参与红门画廊合作是唐泽慧于2013年策展的《山水异境》，记得当时的展览请柬印着我的画作，我至今还放在书架上留作纪念。那是我第一次上到北京的城楼，角楼里居然是一间画廊，太浪漫了。我们在城墙上玩，用诺基亚手机和Iphon4拍的照片现在看来模糊又温暖。

次年，唐泽慧策划我与陈家业的双个展《探花》，当时我展览挺多而作品又出得慢，为这个展览熬了很多个通宵，终算是画出了令自己满意的作品。展前我与家业经常就展览深入沟通，他也是个认真的人，对创作精益求精。开幕当天我们都觉得展览效果还不错，我俩的作品在各自的风格下延续，同时又有着某种呼应。布朗为推荐青年艺术家真是不遗余力，我的作品全部被收藏了，收藏者既有私人藏家也有国外的美术馆，当收到各种收藏证书时，我内心得到了鼓励。

红门也一直组织一些艺术家驻地的项目，我与费城来的艺术家Leroy Forney很有缘，记得第一次见面那是2013年，他当时年龄很大了，没记错的话应该有90岁，居然还飞到遥远的北京，在寒冷的大风天走在宋庄荒凉的柏油路上，在我的陪同下挨家挨户的走访中国艺术家工作室，并兴奋的告诉我，走访艺术家是他北京此行的高潮。时隔一年，在我和家业的展览晚宴上再次遇到Leroy Forney，老头第一句就问我：Lili还和我在一起么？我说你记性可真好啊！我们一直在一起。他说我是个Lucky guy。看样子他很喜欢我的画，把我作品的照片与合影都发到了个人博客上并不乏溢美之词。接下来Leroy要对付的是当年严重的雾霾和杨絮柳絮给他带来的不适，看了几轮医生后，他还是顺利的完成了他们的驻留展。交一个朋友就多一份人生参照，Leroy把艺术作到老，乐观的性格和随时保持的好奇心都是优点。他老人家的网站几年没有更新了，甚是想念。

2015年，红门的驻地艺术家来到我和Lili在罗马湖的新工作室，回头翻看六年前的这些照片也是很感慨的，当时世界各地的艺术家们还能在相对宽松的政治气氛下、在没有疫情的卫生环境下相互交流，音容笑貌犹如昨日，谁会料到时过境迁。当时我们的爱犬“凯撒”也还健在，跟大家玩在一起很得宠呢，最近我还梦到他。

之后，我又参与了2015年“红门二十五周年冬季预展”。一晃又六年过去，我与曾经合作过的策展人唐泽慧、与共同办展的艺术家陈家业等艺术家都保持着友谊，感谢红门让我们结缘，试想这30年来，红门让多少热爱艺术的人成为了朋友呢？在此，感谢这个传奇画廊，离开了东便门，红门依旧是你。

The 30th anniversary of Red Gate has arrived in a flash. I looked back at my resume and found that the first time I cooperated with Red Gate was the Altered Shan Shui States curated by Tang Zehui in 2013. The invitation card which had my work printed in it is on my bookshelf. This show was the first time I went to the tower. It was so romantic. We played on the city wall. The photos taken with Nokia mobile phone and iPhone4 now look fuzzy and warm.

The following year, Tang Zehui curated Highly Prized Flowers with Chen Jiaye. It took me some time to prepare for this exhibition, including valuable time talking with Jiaye, who was also taking this show seriously to present the best works he could. At the opening, we were all satisfied with the exhibition where our respective styles works were evident, but also complimentary. Through Brian’s efforts all my work was collected by private collectors and the White Rabbit Museum. Receiving the collection certificates was very satisfying.

Another fond memory was meeting Leroy Forney in 2013, through Red Gate’s residency program. He would be 90 now, but then he flew to Beijing and I would walk with him through Songzhuang artist village. Later he asked about my wife Lili, always remembering her name. We liked each other and he liked my works. Afterwards, I would keep in contact, often checking his website. I has not been updated for a while. I miss that connection.

In 2015, the artists of Red Gate Residency visited our new studio in Rome Lake. The photos bring back fond memories. Then artists from all over the world could communicate with each other in a relatively loose political atmosphere, free of the restrictions of a pandemic. Their voices and faces were like yesterday. Who would have expected that the situation would change? At that time, our dog "Caesar" was still alive and always fun to play with. I dream of him in that special time.

In 2015, I participated in the Red Gate Reunion reviewing 20+ years of work. For six years, I have maintained my friendship with the curator Tang Zehui and artist Chen Jiaye – we are good friends. Thanks to Red Gate for making us friends. Imagine how many art lovers have become friends in the past 30 years? For this, I would like to thank the legendary Red Gate.
