中央美术学院国际学院艺术中心于2022年11月6日至12月11日呈现群展“觅径者之歌”，共邀请11位艺术家，涵盖绘画、装置、影像、行为等多种形式的30余件作品，围绕成长在多元文化大融合的一代艺术家的创作实践展开讨论，由作品为起点，一窥当下正活跃于表达的新兴艺术家们如何通过艺术创作与世界建立联系。

本次参展的11位艺术家，多数拥有海外留学经验，自2019年末爆发的全球性新冠疫情，众多国家一时间陷入大规模社会性瘫痪，虽然疫情对全球社会的各个层面造成了重大打击，但这阵青年艺术家的“归国潮”为国内的艺术生态切实注入了一股新生力量。对新鲜且未知事物有着高度敏感性的他们，在如此前所未有的复杂环境下，不断被提醒着应当对问题做出及时的、理性的反应和判断，从而让他们对全球化、生态危机、信息科技开始进一步的观察与反思；另一方面，极端且不可预测的外部环境，让本身由感性驱使创作的他们更加渴望生活的安定与美好。

在这些拥有极高创作动力的青年艺术家作品中，可以看到他们对于艺术本身的思考往往带有某种“祛魅”式的审视，将自我解读和创作目的转化为更加带有真实性的阐述和更为直接的表达。不再过分强调艺术创作的崇高与价值，而是将自我认知中的世俗社会与精神世界进行个性化的结合。在不同于他人的“自我秩序”中，以更为多元且包容的视角，探索如今人性、科技、自然、社会交织于一处的共生时代。

From November 6 to December 11, 2022, the International College Art Center of Central Academy of Fine Art presents Song of the Seekers, a group exhibition including paintings, installations, videos, and performance art from 11 artists. With more than 30 artworks, it discusses the art practice of a generation of artists who grew up in the multi-culture. From the artwork as a starting point, we can see how emerging artists who are active in establish contact with the world through creation.

The exhibition invites 11 artists, most of them have studied abroad experience. Since the novel coronavirus pandemic outbreak at the end of 2019, many countries have been plunged into large-scale social shutdowns. Although the epidemic has dealt a significant blow to global society, emerging artists’ “homeward-bound tide” has injected a new force into the domestic art ecosystem. Highly sensitive to the new and unknown, they are constantly reminded to make timely and rational responses and judgments in such an unprecedentedly complex environment, thus enabling them to further observe and think about globalization, ecological crisis, and technology. On the other hand, the extreme and unpredictable external environment makes them look for the stability and beauty of life.

With “disenchantment” review of the art itself enables these artists with dynamic creative momentum to transform their self-interpretation and creative motivation into a straightforward . Many pop-cultural, bantered, childlike, and close-to-life contents appear in the works, instead of over-emphasizing the nobility and value of creation, the pieces combine the secular society in self-cognition with the spiritual world in a personalized way. In the “self-order” built by themselves, they explore the symbiotic era in which humanity, technology, nature, and society are intertwined with each other from a more diversified and inclusive perspective.
