When art breaks through boundaries, perspectives expand alongside it. From June 16 to October 31, 2026, avant-garde artworks from "Wide Angle° – Youth Experimental Project Space" are on view at the art space on the first floor of Waldorf Astoria Beijing. The inaugural exhibition is The Generation Of Uncertainty – Zhang Xiaoxue Solo Exhibition, curated by Professor Zhao Yan from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, launching an artistic dialogue revolving around perception, the body and technology.
Yu Yang, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Delivers Address
In his opening address, Yu Yang, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Vice President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, stated that the "Wide Angle°" initiative serves as a vital platform of the Academy to support young artistic practitioners. Centered on experimentation, the project encourages young faculty to break disciplinary barriers and engage head-on with contemporary thematic issues of our times. More than an incubator nurturing young creators, it acts as a bridge linking the academic art education of the Academy with public aesthetic education for the general public, consistently showcasing the dynamic artistic ecosystem and creative vitality of CAFA to society at large. Zhang Xiaoxue is an outstanding young faculty member of our Academy and a contemporary artist with profound critical thinking. Her creations transcend singular viewpoints. Her works carry monumental visual presence, while conveying delicate perceptions of life through diverse materials, crafting a distinctive tension between light, fluid mediums and profound inner substance. Art knows no inherent boundaries. This cross-domain collaboration, which integrates art into everyday hospitality spaces, marks a wonderful experimental endeavor.
Han Wenchao, Secretary of the Directly Affiliated Party Branch of CAFA Art Museum, Delivers a Speech
Han Wenchao, Secretary of the Directly Affiliated Party Branch of the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, remarked that this exhibition marks the first time the "Wide Angle°" project has stepped out of the museum galleries and settled in a public social venue. First and foremost, the project was established to build a platform where young artists and curators can express themselves freely. Secondly, centered on cutting-edge exploration and interdisciplinary practice, this venue serves as an experimental field for curation and creation free from rigid, fixed aesthetic criteria. Thirdly, the project title not only echoes the irregular spatial layout of its original gallery space, but also symbolizes broadening horizons within a compact area. It showcases the latest artistic achievements of the Academy to the outside world and reflects the ever-expanding intellectual boundaries of young faculty members. He stated that academic art should never be confined within campus walls. Introducing the "Wide Angle" project to public spaces not only connects young creators with a broader audience base, but also uses art as a bond to break down the divide between institutional aesthetic education and ordinary people’s daily lives.
中央美术学院教师工作部部长兼人事处处长杨杰致辞
中央美术学院教师工作部部长兼人事处处长杨杰谈到，作为联合发起方之一，人事处始终携手美术馆、教师发展中心，持续助力 “广角°青年实验项目空间” 稳步发展。该项目已正式运行至第四期，同时也纳入了我校青年教师种子计划，是我们服务青年教师成长、夯实学院人才梯队建设的重要抓手。项目以策展实践为载体，兼顾学科研究与社会美育，一系列优质展览，既展现了美院的学术积淀，也释放出青年创作者的无限潜能。本次展览，不只是对“广角”展览的再现，更是艺术家基于这一不同于学院和美术馆的社会空间进行的再创作和再实践。
参展艺术家、中央美术学院教师张晓雪
张晓雪，青年艺术家，中央美术学院副教授，中国美协会员，北京美术家协会版画艺委会委员，作品曾多次被中国美术馆，浙江美术馆，中央美术学院美术馆等重要艺术机构收藏。张晓雪的创作擅长以女性特有的施力方式及身体介入式的观看方式渗透到每件作品中，力图以身体的在场和触动来探讨身体的诸多属性，并形成新感知和思考。作品探讨在数智时代下持续被重塑的 “人” ，不断聚焦在人这个 “反应体” 上，来探讨周遭语境与时代的变化及反思。
嘉宾合影
本次展览以张晓雪近年来集中创作的系列作品为样本，试图探讨的是艺术创作中艺术家身体的经验和感觉如何被有效地调动和组织起来，以及在这种经验与感觉的视觉化过程中所涉及到的复杂性。《不确定的生成》正是对这种知觉、意识与技术的混杂语境碰撞的一种转译：位于酒店标志性旋转楼梯处的装置艺术作品《低烧NO.9》以有机异形纪念碑式的方式在空间中展开，作品由繁密的织片和机械装置构成，局部却呈现出一种非常低幅度的蠕动状态，在其营造出的沉浸式空间中，将对身体的表达和陈述切入全面的感知体验中；展厅内的《存在NO.1》则是艺术家运用传统雁皮纸、水色等中国传统材料形成当代化表达。这件由无数片极具可塑性的雁皮纸堆叠塑造而成的作品，亦像是将无数神经纤维触角与时间切片叠加出无限的生命瞬间；作品《0》则以0.02mm手撕钢纤维构建的混沌漩涡形态，呈现截然不同的视觉表达——这既是“0”作为起点与虚空的符号化呈现，也是通过钢纤维的无序延展与神经末梢般的通感，将物理熵、数学“0”与精神震颤凝练成一个静止的、循环往复的混沌系统。
本次展览中不同作品所处位置空间的关联性提示，既是对知觉意象在主客体和技术手段的影响之下最终生成图像的一种模拟，同时也是一次在艺术史意义上对于艺术创作历史进程的回溯式的追忆和象征——从装置到架上、从当下到过去、从客体世界到内在心境。
不确定的生成——张晓雪个展
