“第二届北京国际摄影双年展”筹备工作于2015年2月正式启动，该展将于2015年10月15日至11月29日在中央美术学院美术馆、草场地艺术区等地集中展出。8月23日和24日，双年展的策展团队在美术馆召开了为期两天的策展人会议。
会议现场
继七月的会议上敲定了展览主题“陌生的亚洲”后，今天的会议中，策展团队成员王璜生、长谷川佑子（日本）、尼莉·戈伦（以色列）、王春辰、蔡萌、段君和秦伟（香港）首先汇报了各自根据展览主题挑选的作品和艺术家情况，接下来，策展团队从契合主题、创作理念、作品延续性和创新性等多个角度具体地讨论了每一件推荐作品是否要参展。
来自不同国家的策展人带来了不同地区和文化背景下的艺术家作品，以色列、中国、朝鲜、日本、伊朗、马来西亚、印度、中国香港地区和中国台湾地区等亚洲各地区的作品拓宽了大家对亚洲的认识和讨论范围。大家关注和讨论的关键词包括亚洲的位置、多元化、信仰、地缘与边缘、主体、介入、情感、战争、传统、青年摄影家等。这种多国家艺术家的参与、多维度观看亚洲的角度也将成为本届摄影双年展的一大特色。
会议讨论现场
“北京国际摄影双年展”这一大型展览项目意在观察当代国际摄影交流中，作为一种介入、应用和不断自我更新的媒介——摄影——是如何成为一个有效载体，从而不断参与到当代文化的国际交往与叙事和艺术新秩序与新格局的建构之中；旨在探寻、讨论和鼓励摄影的语言探索与观念推进，并以带有未来性的眼光和方式发现并扶持富有天赋和潜质的中国青年摄影师，推广和提升中国当代摄影在国际艺术界的影响力和认知度，引进西方经典和当下前沿的摄影资源，促进中西方摄影间的学术交流，进而推动中国当代摄影发展。
这一届展览主题聚焦“陌生的亚洲”，旨在通过摄影对亚洲的聚变投以关怀和注视。在今天的世界上，一切的一切都在发生着改变和不变。其中，经济的全球化不断变化与相互融合，而国际关系之间也在复杂、曲折地发生变化，如欧盟的一体化已经形成，尽管步履蹒跚，遇到众多困难与问题，但一个新的地缘文化体与民族汇流体在形成，这既是历史的必然，也是未来的期待。
艺术家作品
反观亚洲，似乎它地理辽阔、幅员广大，但是它的复杂程度比欧洲要多得多，其历史的漫长就是这种复杂性的缘由之一。从历史看，亚洲各国各有历史和渊源，其衍变、融合发生在几千年的历史长河里，有的清晰，有的模糊，清晰则形成相对统一而一体的国家、国族；模糊则导致冲突与裂痕。清晰与模糊既在时间的维度里相互统一、又形成新的延展，今日的亚洲的地缘国家又大体都是从历史中走来，但历史的纠结仍没有像欧洲那么清晰化解。文化上，亚洲不像欧洲具有相对的一致性，而相反，具有更多的文明历史源头和文化线索，从文字到语言、从传统到现实，文化的差异性非常巨大，这种文化的差异又因为宗教信仰的不同，更加多种多样。现实的政治格局也使得亚洲的面貌不是一个简洁、清晰的图像，近几十年来，几次大的战争冲突皆发生在亚洲，如朝鲜战争、越南战争、中东战争、两伊战争、伊拉克战争等等，近来发生在叙利亚的极端组织冲突愈加让这一区域的和平建设复杂化。另一方面，亚洲的经济在二战后迄今，经历了几次大的飞跃发展，亚洲经济模式也成为世界发展的重要亮点，快速的经济也对历史的遗存、文化的传统造成新的冲击和压力，一场经济现代化的发展愈加改变着亚洲。
艺术家作品
基于此，本届摄影双年展即是从这样的角度来观看亚洲，进而思考亚洲，对此从新发现亚洲，对未来的亚洲抱以美好的愿景。世界文明的源头曾经在这片广袤的地理大陆上发生和流淌，三大宗教也在这里原发与流变，历经历史与现实的激荡运动，一个“陌生的亚洲”变得扑朔迷离，它的聚变让自身更加不确定。陌生仿佛是一道谜语，又带来无尽的可能性，它的答案在每天发生改变，也让亚洲的未来成为世界焦点。艺术家需要深度切入亚洲的脉动里，揭诸之、呈现之、忧思之、企盼之。陌生的亚洲将是在深深的关怀与交往中进入新时代以及新亚洲。
