前言

ZERO零艺术中心长期关注青年艺术家的创作现状与发展趋势，致力于为当代艺术界挖掘新生力量。十几年以来，ZERO零艺术中心每年从不同视角、主题出发，持续推出青年艺术展览。2017年“未来×现场”年度展览项目创立，标志着ZERO零艺术中心形成了系统的、成熟的青年艺术年度扶持制度。

“未来×现场”年度展聚焦于中国最具潜力的年轻艺术家群体，以跨界性、互动性、实验性为特征，呈现青年艺术在观念、语言、媒介、方法等领域的新面貌、新状态。“未来”是一个时间概念，“现场”是一个空间概念，“×”代表一种交互模式，“未来×现场”面向的是未来与新生。 

本届“未来×现场2021”推出14位青年艺术家，以95后为主体，是极具探索力与前卫性的新一代。展览展出TA们的最新创作，艺术形式以装置、影像、新媒体、综合材料为主，探索方向触及语言边界、媒体跨界、交互模式、光电科技等新范畴。TA们年轻的、有活力的声音，表明当代生活理念、传播媒介、体验方式又迎来了新一轮的更新。

 这是不一样的新世界，走进这里的每一个人，都在与未来相遇。

Preface

Having been paying close attention to the creative status and development trend of young artists for a long time, ZERO Art Center is committed to tapping new forces for the contemporary art world. For more than ten years, ZERO Art Center has continuously launched youth art exhibitions from different perspectives and based on themes on a yearly basis. The establishment of the “Future × Scene” annual exhibition project in 2017 symbolizes that ZERO Art Center has developed a systematic and mature annual support system for youth art.

The “Future × Scene” annual exhibition project, focusing on the most potential young artists in China, is cross-industry, interactive and experimental, which strives to present a new look and state of the art created by young people in terms of concept, language, media and methods. “Future” is a concept of time, “scene” is a concept of space and “×” stands for an interactive mode, so “Future × Scene” implies future and rebirth.

The 2021 “Future × Scene” exhibition  presents the art works created by 14 post-95s young artists who represent a new generation of avant-garde artists with great exploration. The exhibits are the latest creations by these young artists. With installations, images, new media and comprehensive materials as the art forms, these artists explore new categories such as language boundary, media cross-industry integration, interactive mode and photoelectric technology. The youthful and energetic voices of the young artists indicate that the contemporary life philosophy, media and experience have been renewed once again.

This is a different new world. Everyone who walks into this world is encountering the future.
