NO WASTE FORM

In today's world of information explosion and material flooding, the works of art created by artists are constantly being submerged in this material world. Although the works created by the artists have spiritual connotations, these works are ultimately expressed in terms of matter. On the surface, the current society pays more attention to art than before, but our audience is still more attracted to "WeChat" or "Taobao" because they bring more information and faster time updates. It can better meet the psychological needs of the people nowadays. As a result, the status of art in the public mind will face increasingly low embarrassment, the audience of art works is less and less, and the market prospects are not very optimistic, especially the artistic creation of self-expression is more difficult for people to accept. .

In the face of such a reality, is there any future for art? Is there still a need for artists to continue their creation? At present, many artists have begun to reduce their expenses by reducing the size of the studio and away from the city center in order to continue to maintain their creation. Although the cost of rent and the like has been reduced a little, the artist's creation costs have increased due to the general increase in prices, and the artist's energy has been consumed more. Moreover, although the processing methods in China are relatively convenient, due to the rise in artificial prices, artists who have completed their work through external processing have to pay more.

Is there a better path for artists to continue to do some handmade works in a small space, and use free materials, even waste, to freely express their own thoughts, feelings and life. Cognition? I believe that some artists at home and abroad are already practicing this concept, so this exhibition is not new, but it can make people see that there are still many artists who insist on manual creation, and the cost is not very high.

The environment we are in and the various problems we face always remind us that we must return to the originality of art. I personally think that one of the manifestations of originality is to rely on the hands and life that God gives us to experience and use the materials that are made by us to create. So, to some extent, we will get out of the material predicament and also create and survive art. The state brings a better solution.

I hope this exhibition can give some inspiration to the artists.

"不浪费型"展览前言
李刚

在当今世界信息爆炸和物质泛滥的境况下，艺术家所创造的艺术作品也不断被淹没在这个物质世界里。尽管艺术家创造的作品具有精神内涵，但这些作品最终要用物质来表现。表面上看，当下社会比以前更关注艺术了，但是我们的观众还是更容易被"微信"或"淘宝"等所吸引，因为它们所带来的信息量更大，时间上的更新也更快，更能满足当下人们的"快消"心理需求。由此，艺术在大众心目中的地位将面临越来越低的尴尬境地，艺术作品的观众越来越少，市场前景也不太乐观，尤其是表现自我的艺术创作也更难让人们接受了。

面对这样的现实，艺术还有没有前途？艺术家们的创作还有没有必要继续下去？目前，很多艺术家已经开始通过缩小工作室面积、远离城市中心来缩减开销以期继续维持创作。虽然房租等的花费减少了些许，然而艺术家的创作费用却因物价的普遍上涨而增加了，艺术家的精力也消耗更大。而且，在中国加工手段虽然比较便利，但由于人工价格的上扬，那些通过外加工来完成作品的艺术家不得不付出更多的成本。

是不是能有一条更好的路径能使艺术家在很小的空间继续做一些纯手工的创作作品，并且利用很便宜的材料，甚至是废弃物就可以自由地表达自我的想法、感受和对生活的认知？相信国内外的一些艺术家已经在践行这个理念了，所以这个展览其实并不新，但它能够让人们看到还有很多艺术家在坚持手工创作，并且成本也不是很高。

我们所处的大环境以及所面临的各种各样的问题，时刻提示我们必须回到艺术的原创性。我个人认为，原创性的体现之一就是依靠上帝给予我们的双手和生命去体验，利用身边现成的材料来创作，这样，某种程度上我们会走出物质的困境，也会给艺术创作和生存状态带来一个比较好的解决方案。

希望这个展览能给艺术家们一些启示。
