艺术家简介 & 部分作品
阿丽佳·柯维德
Alicja Kwade
1979年生于波兰的卡托维兹，现工作生活于柏林。
阿丽佳·柯维德是德国年轻一代艺术家群体中最具创造力的一位，曾在柏林的美术学院师从迪特尔·哈克和克里斯蒂亚娜·莫布斯。阿丽佳·柯维德的创作自成体系，反复考量现实、价值、时间和空间，以及对相关概念的感知和建构。在我们生活的现实之外，另有其他的现实存在，这种观念带给以她创作的核心灵感。为了让思想变得可以感知，艺术家运用多样化的媒介和技巧，在摄影、电影、雕塑和大型装置等各个领域进行创作。她常常将日常物品和批量生产的商品转变为引人入胜的艺术组合，机智且戏谑地反映出思想与概念之间的内在联系。
Born in 1979 in Katowice, Poland. Lives and works in Berlin.
Alicja Kwade, one of the most creative artists of the younger generation in Germany, studied under Dieter Hacker and Christiane Möbus at the University of the Arts in Berlin. Her oeuvre is a universe of its own, which revolves around questions relating to reality, values, time, and space, as well as the perception and construction of these. She is inspired by the idea that there are other realities beyond one’s own lived reality. To make her ideas tangible, the artist employs a wide variety of media and techniques, from photography and film to sculptures and large-scale installations. She often transforms everyday objects and standardized commercial items into intriguing compositions and thus intelligently and playfully reflects the interrelationships between ideas and concepts.

大卫·施奈尔
David Schnell
1971年生于贝吉施一格拉德巴赫，现工作生活于莱比锡。
大卫·施奈尔作为“新莱比锡学派”的代表广为人知，他致力于使传统的绘画焕发新生。在主题和方法上，他似乎完全属于古典绘画：用油画颜料、以透视法的原则来描绘风景。然而，我们的所见又清楚地表明他的作品属于此时此地——如果不属于未来的话。施奈尔风景画中的一部分元素属于赛博空间：计算机图形、像素、数据加密和类似动画片与电子游戏中的深度透视。数码媒介对于他作品的影响无法被忽略，整个作品的创作过程更是无法与数码时代脱离。施奈尔的绘画将观众植入了一个似乎遵循着自我内在逻辑运行的视觉世界。
Born in 1971 in Bergisch-Gladbach. Lives and works in Leipzig.
David Schnell became widely known as a representative of the “New Leipzig School” and has set himself the goal of bringing traditional panel painting “up to date.” His themes and means could not be more classical: oil paintings dedicated to landscapes depicted in perspective. And yet what we see is clearly of the here and now—if not of tomorrow. Schnell’s landscapes have one foot in cyberspace: computer graphics, pixels, encryptions, and deep perspectives such as those found in animated films and games. The influence of the digital media on his work cannot be overlooked, while the creative process could not be further removed from the digital age. Schnell’s paintings transport the viewer into a virtual world of images that appears to follow its own inner logic.

迈克尔·塞尔斯托夫
Michael Sailstorfer
1979年生于韦尔登，现工作生活于柏林。
迈克尔·塞尔斯托夫是现今德国年轻一代艺术家中最活跃和最具创造力的一位。他曾就读于慕尼黑美术学院，随后在伦敦金史密斯学院获得硕士学位。
塞尔斯托夫的艺术创作以多媒介为主，涉及雕塑、空间装置、建筑艺术以及影像作品。他艺术方法的基础则是转化，这种转化同时为他提供了灵感来源和创作意图，也决定了他的创作过程。塞尔斯托夫常常选取一些自己偏爱的日常物品和材料，将它们解构之后重新排序，借用它们惯有的功能和内容完成新作品的创作。这些作品对经典的雕塑与空间概念进行重新思考，并通过这样的思考为艺术在不断改变的环境中如何拓展提供一些新的可能。
Born in Velden in 1979. Lives and works in Berlin.
Michael Sailstorfer, born in Velden, Germany in 1979, is one of the most active and creative artists of the younger generation in Germany today. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and completed his master’s degree at Goldsmith College in London.
The artistic practice of Michael Sailstorfer encompasses various media, including sculpture, site-specific installation, art in public places, and video. The essence of his art is based on transformation, which is simultaneously a source of inspiration, a creative process, and an intention. He prefers to work with everyday objects and materials, deconstructing and rearranging these, robbing them of their original function and context, and at the same time creating works that question classical concepts of sculpture and space, thus providing new possibilities for interpretation in an altered environment.

马蒂亚斯·维斯切尔
Matthias Weischer
1973年生于威斯特伐利亚的埃尔特，现工作生活于莱比锡。
空无一人的房间——室内或是一处风景——是马蒂亚斯·维斯切尔作品的首要主题。维斯切尔在他职业生涯的初期便已获得国际声誉。他于2003年毕业于莱比锡的视觉艺术学院，获硕士学位，师从斯格哈德·格勒。在他还没有毕业的时候，他的作品已经在德国及其以外地方的众多展览中展出。随后，他又获得了多个艺术奖项以及奖学金，其中包括在罗马著名的马西莫宫中实施作品。
Born in 1973 in Elte, Westphalia. Lives and works in Leipzig.
Rooms devoid of people—inside a house or embedded in a landscape—are the primary theme in the works of Matthias Weischer, who gained an international reputation at a very early stage in his career. Even before he completed his studies at the Academy of Visual Arts (HGB) in Leipzig, from which he graduated as a master student of Sighard Gille in 2003, his works were being presented in numerous exhibitions in Germany and abroad. This was followed by various prizes, awards, and scholarships, including a work grant at the renowned Villa Massimo in Rome (2007).

朱莉德·福格特
Jorinde Voigt
1977年生于法兰克福，现工作生活于在柏林。
朱莉德·福格特是一位十分具有跨界研究精神的艺术家。在她的图绘、版画、油画作品中，她从文学和音乐中汲取灵感，深入研究术语、现象和（事件的、知识产生的）过程，并将她的观察转化为具有高度审美性特征的、迷人的正式语汇。起初，朱莉德·福格特将摄影作为一种艺术和纪实的媒介来运用，不久后便开始转向用线条、色彩和手写体进行绘画创作，藉此，她发现了在单一的时空框架下，通过重复、集合以及同时创作的方式来进行表达的新的可能性。这种创作方式有对乐符和乐谱（关系）的借鉴，它也赋予了福格特作品独有的特色，让人联想到组织严密的图表或科学（假设）模型；与此同时，她的作品也具有严谨的系统和内在逻辑，以及如曲线般灵活的自由度——由不同的元素组成的一系列开放的、流动性的连贯动作。
Born in 1977 in Frankfurt am Main. Lives and works in Berlin.
Jorinde Voigt is a researching artist. In her drawings, prints, and paintings, she delves deeply into terminologies, processes, and phenomena, is inspired by literature and music, and transforms her observations into a highly aesthetic and fascinating formal vocabulary. After initial experiments with photography as an artistic and documentary medium, she soon turned to drawing with lines, colors, and her own handwriting, with which she discovered possibilities of expression for repetitions, condensations, and simultaneities within a spatiotemporal framework. The structures derived from musical notations and scores, which characterize Voigt’s works on paper and are also reminiscent of diagrams or scientific (hypothetical) models, are marked by strict regimentation, an inner logic, and a meandering freedom, an open, flowing motion of the different elements.

赛巴斯蒂安·里默
Sebastian Riemer
1982年生于奥伯豪森，现工作生活于杜塞尔多夫。
赛巴斯蒂安·里默是德国年轻一代最富创造性的摄影艺术家之一。他曾在杜塞尔多夫艺术学院托马斯·鲁夫和克里斯托弗·威廉姆斯门下学习。他的艺术作品已为他赢得了无数奖项与荣誉，其中包括北莱茵威斯特伐利亚州奖和奥迪艺术奖。
Born in 1982 in Oberhausen. Lives and works in Düsseldorf.
Sebastian Riemer is one of the most creative photo-artists of the younger generation in Germany. He studied under Thomas Ruff and Christopher Williams at the Academy of Art in Düsseldorf and has already received numerous awards and distinctions for his artistic work, including .

此次在白盒子艺术馆的“未来一代——德国当代青年艺术”展，集中展示了战后德国艺术全面而深入的学术成果所影响的新一代艺术家的创作面貌，以及正在实验和发展中的当代艺术。新一代的德国青年艺术家此次携作品来到中国是一次非常难得的交流契机，也为国内青年艺术家的艺术创作创作建立参照系，本次展览将持续至10月31日。
“Next Generation: Young German Art” presented at Whitebox Art Centre, encompasses the artistic practices that have been influenced by the academic fruitions in post-war Germany, as well as those undergoing experimentation and development. It is a rare opportunity for this young generation of German artists to exhibit their works in China, which provides a system of reference for the Chinese artists in their own art practices.
