新展览 《 实／像 》摄影联展
开展酒会：09月8日 下午 5点 – 8点 ， 星期六
展览时期：2007年 9月4日 – 10月11日
m 97欣喜的宣布新展览“实／像”, 一场12位摄影艺术家参与的联展，其中包括了目前身在中国，或在中国工作，资历丰富的以及新一代的摄影师。“实／像” 将于2007年的9月4日初始展出，并在9月8日周六正式开幕，开幕酒会从晚上5点开始至8点，艺术家包括国内摄影师黎朗，宋朝，陈春林，曾翰，李俊，路泞，严程， 彭&陈 ，以及国外的 James Whitlow Delano 詹姆士•狄蓝诺（美国／日本）， Robert Van der Hilst 罗伯•梵德西尔斯 （荷兰／上海），Daniel Traub 叶仁杰 （美国／上海)， 和 Olaf Blecker 歐萊夫•布雷柯爾（德国）。
“实／像” 是一组结合了广大视角，多样摄影风格，以及不同题材所描绘出的中国面貌和文化晶体，每一张作品都呈现出类型各异的肖像风格，并刻划出不同角度的中国摩登社会。同时是纪绿了都市化与边远地带的现实面，捕捉中国多元种族文化象征和中国持续发展以及无法定义的都市中心面。
当讨论介于摄影与绘画的基石 "肖像" 的居中角色,对艺术家们来说总不只是单纯的描绘一个人的表态,而是试图去捕捉一个人更无法言喻的本质,精神,亦或感情与灵魂. 而当把图片视为“纪录”，令人尝试着去解读一张脸孔，一块地域，或者一件社会事件。参与的艺术家每位都在中国各地，将他们特有的摄影风格与见解,对焦在快速发展中与传统中国的多样元素上。从成都到贵州，广州到上海，再至北京，“实／像” 探索众多的“中国面貌”. 若以真人实地记录的观赏点出发，不可否认这些照片不只单单是摄影师们本身试图描述的影像，同时也表达他们个人的社会观点以及如何与之发生关联。

New Exhibition: “DOCUMENT / PORTRAIT“ | “实／像“
Group Exhibition by 12 Photographers
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 8, 5 - 8 pm
Exhibition Dates: September 4 - October 11, 2007
m97 Gallery is pleased to present “Document / Portrait”, a group exhibition with works by 12 established as well as emerging photographers living or working in China. “Document / Portrait” will open on September 4, 2007, and there will be an opening reception for the artists on Saturday, September 8, 2007 at 5pm. Photographers included in the exhibition are Chen Chunlin, Li Jun, Li Lang, Lu Ning, Song Chao, Yan Cheng, Zeng Han, Peng & Chen, James Whitlow Delano (USA/Japan), Robert van der Hilst (Netherlands/Shanghai), Daniel Traub (USA/Shanghai), and Olaf Blecker (Germany).
“Document / Portrait” is a broad look at a diverse range of photographic styles and subject matter depicting the many faces and facets of China each illustrating various aspects of modern Chinese society all through the genre of portraiture. Both urban and rural realities are explored, and traditional Chinese ethnic and cultural symbols are seen alongside documents of China’s ever-expanding and often anonymous urban centers.
As a cornerstone of photography and painting, the “portrait” has always been approached by artists not only to illustrate a person’s appearance, but more often to capture the intangibles of a person’s spirit, sentiment, or soul. As a fundamental element of photography, the role of the photograph as a “document” allows the viewer to explore a particular person, place or issue. Working in different regions of China, each participating photographer brings a unique style and point of view focusing on various elements of China’s fast-changing society. From Chengdu, Guizhou and Guangzhou to Shanghai and Beijing, “Document / Portrait” explores the many sides and many faces of modern China, at times acting as a true document of a people and a place, but more often than not also illustrating how the individual photographer views and relates to the social and cultural world that their work addresses.
