At the press conference, international senior curator Zheng Shengtian talked about the planning of the exhibition. He said: "At the beginning of the curatorial, I first thought of Xu Bing's work "Ghost Wall", just at the time. Also in Canada, and Xu Bing made a dialogue with the University of Wisconsin. Recalling that Chinese contemporary art entered the world at the time, there were opportunities and difficulties. When considering this piece of work, it was considered a 'landmark' because it was the earliest And the relatively large-scale works. Fidelanna and I often use the word 'landmark' to discuss the art of our choice. Is this work a bit of a landmark, just at this time, I saw the interview with the general public on the Internet. I hope that the Guardian Art Center can become a new cultural landmark in Beijing. Our idea coincides with the use of 'landmarks' as the theme of this exhibition. This is a 'mix and match' exhibition, which is very interesting. I also hope to trigger more resonance." 
Qi Jin, Chairman and CEO of Guardian Investment, and Chairman of Guardian Art Center, said: “The Guardian Art Center has to be a concept of cultural architectural landmarks at the beginning of its design and construction. The current art center combines contemporary design with Chinese tradition. The brick-shaped brick "Pixel" casts the world-famous Chinese landscape painting "Fuchun Mountain Residence". After the completion of the building, there are really curators planning, theme, and specially invited artists to participate in this, "landmark - mapping China The exhibition of Contemporary Art is the first one."

Artist Xu Bing said in the opening ceremony of the exhibition: "The complexity of Chinese contemporary artists' ideological landmarks is unprecedented in the world, because our generation has experienced too many social, political and historical changes, we carry The traditional gene, the experience of the cruelty of the Cultural Revolution, the experience of learning the West after the reform and opening up, and later went abroad to meet with the contemporary culture of the West, colliding with each other, and then returning to China to form a special new relationship between China and the world. In my thinking, the ideological landmarks are extremely complicated. This is a reminder and a reflection of the artist's thoughts in this exhibition."
The artist Yu Hong said: "The work "She - Baotashan Girl" was created by me more than ten years ago. When I was young, I was very impressed with Baotashan. In my opinion, it is a historical landmark and revolution. Landmarks. Later, red tourism prevailed, and great changes have taken place in northern Shaanxi. This work is my memory of northern Shaanxi and my reflection on reality."

The 15 works selected in the exhibition "Landmarks - Mapping Chinese Contemporary Art" are themselves iconic masterpieces in the development of contemporary Chinese art since 1985. Most of their themes are related to a geographical location. Whether focusing on a location on the vast expanse of China from the Great Wall to the Pearl River Delta, or by choosing ancient and modern Chinese and foreign or even virtual space, it directly or indirectly expresses the artist's social and natural changes in China and around the world. Observation and understanding. 
After the 85th wave, Chinese contemporary artists have turned their eyes to social thinking and criticism, aiming to find their own expressions in the gap between the vast Chinese traditional art and the avant-garde Western contemporary art. Xu Bing's "Ghost Wall" uses the traditional rubbing method to keep the world-famous Chinese image of the Great Wall on paper, highlighting the contradiction between the lofty sense of historical monuments and the "uselessness" of repeated work. 
Lu Shanchuan's "Large Parade" uses his unique "social landscape" method to build a well-known review scene on a huge canvas. The strong visual effect hides the narrative under the surface. 
Yu Hong played down the historical image of Yan'an Baota Mountain in "She - Baotashan Girl", and integrated this revolutionary landmark into the ordinary daily picture in a personal way. 
Yang Fudong started from the Chinese auspicious image "Kirin", and recorded the living conditions of the Jiaxiang stone carving workers in Shandong, and reflected the social responsibility of contemporary artists. 
At the other end of China, Cao Fei "Who is Utopia?" The virtual and real-life images created by her unique imagery describe the life and dreams of the workers in the light bulb factory in the Pearl River Delta. 
Liu Jianhua judges China's role as a "world factory" in the form of ready-made art. The "Yiwu Survey" is a mountain-made Chinese manufacturing, which is an artist's question about China's status and relationship in the process of globalization. 
If the above artists are looking for inspiration from the real "landmarks", then Huang Min's "Landscape, Landscape - Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and "Shanshui. Landscape - Qingming Shanghe Map" in the panoramic composition, the ancient literati in a contrasting way The meaning and the contemporary beings are like a scroll painting. 
From the long-lasting Great Wall to the factory in Japan, the artists have integrated their observations of China into the thinking of China's modernization process and finally presented it in their own works. Chinese contemporary art emerged internationally in the 1990s and early 2000s. Many Chinese artists, while going to the world, reflect on the status of themselves as "cultural nomads" from their own culture, and also reflect their perspectives into the process of Chinese contemporary art. Huang Yongzhen’s large-scale installation, “Why is it?â€, magnified the Tibetan Buddhist scriptures of Chinese Tibetan Buddhism to the size of the monument, and deconstructed his thoughts on the relationship between religion and politics in the world. 
Cai Guoqiang's "Spider Web - A Plan for the British Museum" vividly shows the intricate relationship between all the great civilizations contained in this cultural landmark. 
Qiu Zhijie's "Fictional Geography" has produced a wonderful map between ancient and contemporary, virtual and reality with skilled ink painting and writing skills. 
In the "Big Dog", Liu Wei made a model of world-famous buildings with pet dog chews, smashing human power and ideology. 
Xu Zhen’s "Decoration" moved the "space capsule" to the exhibition hall. The spacecraft, the astronauts and the earth are intertwined in the true and false associations, which can not help but make the viewers have doubts about what they see. 
In his investigation of location, time, and history, Zhang Jianjun's "Human and Their Clock #2" ponders the relationship between history and culture, and the relationship between continuity and instant. 
Wang Jianwei's "The Spine" is a sculpture made of multiple materials, which combines time, space and movement to create an unexpected visual experience for the audience. 
Sun Xun's "The Man Who Stole Time" built an image theater full of real and fantasy for the audience to explore human perceptions and memories of historical events. The exhibition explores the "landmarks" from figurative to abstract, from the past to the future from different aspects, and deeply analyzes the rich connotation of this term.
The striking new Guardian Art Center is a new landmark on the cultural map of Beijing. In this building, 15 works of artists of different ages and different creative ideas and techniques can trigger further reflection and discussion on landmarks. . As the curator said: “These places have shaped our past and created our future.†Landmarks - Mapping Chinese Contemporary Art will be open to the public from December 17, 2017 and will continue until 2018. January 31st.
