自上世纪80年代末中国经济蓬勃发展以来，随着中国对全球化社会的影响日益扩大，中国蓬勃发展的当代艺术景象引起了全世界的极大关注。然而，尽管中国艺术市场已经成为一个多产的行业，中国当代艺术也得到了越来越多的国际认可，但在国家/国际性展览中，中国女性艺术家却非常稀缺。展览“Stepping Out!”是25年来首次全面展示中国当代女性艺术家的作品，其中包括迄今在国外鲜为人知的先锋和新兴艺术家。通过极为多元化的视角，艺术家们在被强势的传统所主导的紧张场域中，呈现了来自个人和社会层面的恐惧、矛盾和希望，与此同时，也从女性和艺术家的身份展示了在瞬息万变的中国社会对于身份认同的寻求。

Since the beginning of China’s economic boom in the late 1980s and its ever-increasing influence on globalized society, the country’s burgeoning contemporary art scene has attracted great attention around the world. However, despite the Chinese art market’s emergence as a highly prolific industry and a growing international recognition of contemporary art from China, there is a remarkable lack of Chinese women artists represented in (inter-)national exhibitions and publications. Stepping Out! is the first comprehensive publication in 25 years to present a broadly representative selection of the work of contemporary Chinese female artists, including pioneering as well as emerging artists thus far little-known abroad. Through an enormous wealth of perspectives, the artists reveal their personal and social fears, contradictions, and hopes in the tense field occupied by powerful tradition, and shed light upon the search for identity both as women and as artists within a rapidly changing Chinese society.

此次展览邀请了来自中国的26位不同代际的艺术家参展，他们出生于1960年至1995年间，将展出包括曹斐、曹雨、何成瑶、林天苗、向京、肖鲁、喻红、尹秀珍等艺术家的100多件作品，涵盖行为表演、影像、摄影、雕塑、水墨、油画等诸多媒介，探讨诸多主题、方法和观点。
Stepping Out! features more than 100 artworks by 26 artists born between 1960 and 1995 living in China, including Cao Fei, Cao Yu, He Chengyao, Lin Tianmiao, Xiang Jing, Xiao Lu, Yu Hong, Yin Yiuzhen, etc. The exhibition includes performance, video, photography, sculpture, ink drawings and oil paintings, offering a surprisingly rich range of themes, approaches and perspectives.
