前 言： 前言 中国版画有着非常悠久的历史。在古代，它是文化传播的重要载体；在近现代，它又被当作非常重要的宣传与战斗的武器，并因为特殊的社会和艺术境域而铸就了极具本土特色的品质。及至当代，版画的种类变得极为丰富，技术语言和思想取向亦显得非常多元，而就在近些年，版画又重新受到人们的广泛关注，学术探讨和民间收藏都日趋活跃。故而，在此时刻，举办“广州国际藏书票暨小版画双年展”是极具前瞻性和重要意义的。 众所周知，藏书票是一门形式独特的艺术，是版画的一个分支，画幅精微，却包罗万象。在追求大制作以及强烈的视觉冲击力的当代美术圈，提倡精致、典雅的艺术趣味尤为难得。藏书票和小版画让艺术家们将精力倾注于方寸之间，更加集中、明确地展现自身的思想、才能和技艺，同时也让人们感受一种在喧嚣的尘世中难觅其踪的可读、可赏、可品的艺术格调，对作者和观者双方均能够起到涤荡心灵、提升境界之良效。 再则，藏书票和书籍有着紧密的联系，这使得其信息含量和文化外延得以极大扩展。可以说，藏书票是引导我们进入到五彩缤纷的图书世界的视觉窗口，而其本身的特殊形式也让我们得以体察不同时代、不同区域、不同学科的文化轨迹和独特魅力。 正因为藏书票和书籍的这种联系，它连通了美术学院里的版画、插画、书籍装帧等多个专业，更为重要的是，它与众多自然与人文科学的阅读产生了广泛的关联。在学院日益重视多学科发展以及跨学科建设的今天，我们设置藏书票的创作门类以及举办相关的展示、交流活动对于学院的学科发展无疑是一种有效的推动。 近年来，藏书票与小版画的国际交流和研究活动日渐活跃，并有往东方迁移的趋势。今年11月，“第三届广州国际藏书票暨小版画双年展”将如期在广州美术学院举办，这是建立在以往各届展览基础上，努力打造该领域高端国际品牌的又一次行动。此项展览计划学术定位明确，展览模式独特，赢得了世界各国艺术家的大力支持和广泛参与。本届展览组委会吸取了以往两届展览的成功经验，改进了办事程序，力图提高效率。从组织和评选工作来看，本届展览在以往形成的国际化态势上进一步提高要求，评选程序更加严格、合理，使得入选作品具有更高艺术水准和代表性。同时，作为主办方之一的广州美术学院在制度上给予了更大的支持，将此届双年展列入“创新强校工程”2014-2016年规划项目，适时启动项目经费，让筹备工作得到有力的保障。我们有理由相信，在项目机制与学术要求的良性互动下，双年展将取得更大的成功。 在机构合作方面，我们一如既往地和中国美协藏书票研究会并肩协作，并荣幸地邀请到广东省文化厅作为本届双年展的指导单位。本项目还得到了莞城美术馆、观澜版画原创产业基地、本院国际交流处、科研处、版画系以及全国各大美术院校、相关版画群体和诸多国内外研究专家的大力支持，在此表示衷心的感谢！正因为有这么多机构和同仁的齐心协力，这样一项具有国际视野的学术盛事才能圆满呈现，以此累积下去，它必将对中国艺术格局和学院教育结构发展形成深远的影响力。那么，就让我们携手一道，以饱满的热情继续推进这项有意义的工作吧！ 黎明 二○一四年九月二十五日 Preface Li Ming President of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Professor Director of Sculpture Art Commission of the Chinese Artists Association, Vice Chairman of Guangdong Artists Association Printmakinghas a long history in China.
