展览前言 / Curatorial Statement
Arts Letters & Numbers 呈现群展《共餐·第2届未来艺术节游牧展》（Communal Dinner – Nomadic）。展览于 2026 年 8 月 16 日在 ALN 主画廊开幕，10 月 16 日闭幕，为期两个月。展览以"共餐"为意象，汇集 18 位（组）来自中国、欧洲与美国的当代艺术家，涵盖绘画、雕塑、陶瓷、数字艺术、纸艺装置与互动影像等多种媒介，邀请观众围坐同一张"餐桌"，品尝来自不同时区与文化的艺术表达。
展览的概念海报被设计为一张填字游戏——正如策展团队所言，"它不是一张可以玩的填字游戏，而是一张真实的展览海报"。在两个月的展期内，这一隐喻被不断验证：来自不同背景的艺术家如同纵横交错的词条，在共享的空间中彼此联结、彼此成就。"共享晚宴"由此既是一种观展方式，也是一种共处方式——艺术在这里不是被观看的对象，而是被分享的日常。
Arts Letters & Numbers presented Communal Dinner – Nomadic, a group exhibition on view at ALN's Main Gallery from August 16 to October 16, 2026. Taking the communal dinner as its central image, the exhibition brought together 18 artists and collectives from China, Europe, and the United States, working across painting, sculpture, ceramics, digital art, paper installation, and interactive media — inviting audiences to gather around one table and sample artistic expressions from across time zones and cultures.
The exhibition's concept poster took the form of a crossword puzzle — "not a playable crossword puzzle, but a real-life exhibition poster," as the team noted. Over two months, the metaphor proved itself: artists from different backgrounds interlocked like entries in a grid, connecting and completing one another within a shared space. The "communal dinner" thus became both a way of seeing and a way of being together — here, art is not an object to be observed, but a daily practice to be shared.

参展艺术家与作品 / Artists & Works
Paria Shahverdi《新的一天》（نوروز – A New Day）2026
一件互动式雕塑书，由十二页木制书页组成。观众翻动书页时，圆形结构牵动水中石块，激起层层涟漪——阅读由此成为一种身体体验，将时间的流逝与记忆、地域和重新开始的可能连接在一起。
An interactive sculptural book of twelve wooden pages. As viewers turn the pages, the circular structure shifts stones in water, sending ripples outward — reading becomes a physical experience, linking the passage of time with memory, place, and the possibility of beginning anew.
Paria Shahverdi《新的一天》
Nils Folke Anderson《Umbra》2022
美国抽象雕塑家以"互惠链接"概念驱动的钢结构作品，光、材料、形式与空间在持续对话中"从无安宁"。
A steel-structure work by the American abstract sculptor, driven by his concept of "reciprocal links" — light, material, form, and space in ceaseless dialogue, "never at rest."
Nils Folke Anderson《Umbra》
Billy Chen 陈瀚琮《鱼知道》（The Fish Prophet）2026
一件长约 1.8 米的纸制金枪鱼雕塑，悬于展厅上空。艺术家借"鱼跃龙门"的中国寓言发问：人类是否也能跃出数字影像的洪流，升华为更高层次的存在？
A paper tuna sculpture, about 1.8 meters long, suspended above the gallery. Drawing on the Chinese fable of the fish that leaps the dragon gate, the artist asks: can we, too, leap out of the flood of digital imagery and ascend to a higher form of being?
Billy Chen《鱼知道》
Hanna Greenfield《静物：苹果一、二、三》2026
由 AI 工具从三维扫描档案中构建的数字静物，探索"怪诞感"与语境重构，来自一项将三维扫描引入艺术课堂的研究项目。
Digital still lifes built by AI tools from three-dimensional scanning archives, exploring the uncanny and the reconstitution of context — part of a research project bringing 3D scanning into the art classroom.
Hanna Greenfield《静物：苹果一、二、三》
Adrian Lee《The Ecclesiocracy》2026
布面油画、丙烯与拼贴作品。艺术家将古典绘画方法论与当代创作实践交织于二维媒介：从数字拼贴起稿，经反复描绘与渲染，在节奏、图案与构图的平衡中，构建出层层叠印的寓言式图像。
Oil, acrylic, and collage on panel. Interweaving classical painting methodologies with contemporary practices across two-dimensional media, the artist drafts digital collages, then draws and re-renders them, building allegorical imagery layer by layer through rhythm, pattern, and compositional balance.
Adrian Lee《The Ecclesiocracy》
Ketong Xing《几何织物》（The Fabric of Geometry）2025
参数化数字装置，以东方茶道与侘寂美学为根，在光影与材料张力之间展开关于柔软几何与未来制造的冥想。
A parametric digital installation rooted in the aesthetics of the Eastern tea ceremony and wabi-sabi, meditating on soft geometry and future fabrication within the tension of light, shadow, and material.
陈阳、孙瑞菁、李超《重生的彩虹》（The Rainbow of Renewal）2025
一件荣获 2026 红点设计概念奖的生态纪念性数字作品，设想以直径 200 米的环形喷雾装置在受核试验影响的土地上折射彩虹、修复土壤。
An ecological memorial digital work and winner of the 2026 Red Dot Award: Design Concept, envisioning a circular mist installation, 200 meters in diameter, that would refract rainbows and restore soil on land affected by nuclear testing.
陈阳、孙瑞菁、李超《重生的彩虹》
Qiuchi Chen《重生》（Rebirth）2026
以布达拉宫记忆与青藏高原天葬仪式为灵感的陶瓷作品，呼唤人与自然的和谐共生。
A ceramic work inspired by memories of the Potala Palace and the sky-burial rituals of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, calling for harmony between humans and nature.
Qiuchi Chen《重生》
Lynette Liang《迷宫之一 & 之二》2025
从法律转向艺术创作的双联画，以缠绕回环的线条呈现生命转型背后不为人知的努力。
A diptych by an artist who moved from law to art, its entangled, looping lines rendering the unseen effort behind a life's transformation.
Du Haha《雨 · 一》（Rainfall · 1）2026
以斑驳色块描绘飘雨与雾气，记录日常重复中悄然积累的情感与感知。
Mottled patches of color depict drifting rain and mist, recording the feelings and perceptions that quietly accumulate in daily repetition.
Du Haha《雨 · 一》
Allie Phillips
纸本人物速写两幅。以快速而精准的笔触捕捉人体的动态与重心，来自艺术家长期的生命绘画（life drawing）实践——身体在瞬间姿态中的张力与松弛被并置呈现。
Two figure sketches on paper. With swift, precise strokes they capture the body's dynamics and center of gravity, drawn from the artist's long life-drawing practice — the tension and release of the body in momentary poses set side by side.
Allie Phillips 纸本速写
Isabelle Bergmann
打字机文本作品。以机械敲击的字符构建文字的视觉秩序，字母的排列、错位与密度本身即构成画面——书写在此回归为一种物质性的行动。
Typewriter text works. Characters struck by machine build a visual order of language — the arrangement, dislocation, and density of the letters themselves compose the image, returning writing to a material act.
Isabelle Bergmann 打字机文本作品

跨时区艺术论坛 / Art Across Time Zones Forum
开幕当日上午，展览举办了"跨时区艺术论坛"（Art Across Time Zones Forum），以线上连线方式跨越纽约与北京时区（纽约时间 8 月 16 日 10:00–11:30／北京时间 22:00–23:30）。论坛嘉宾包括：北京画廊总监 Cynthia（朱安琪）、深圳大学艺术学院前教师刁毅飞、《南方人物周刊》资深记者孙凌宇，以及策展人、文创企业管理者陈嘉欣。中美两地的艺术从业者就跨文化策展与当代艺术生态展开对话，将"共享晚宴"的理念从展厅延伸至公共讨论。
On the morning of the opening, the exhibition hosted the "Art Across Time Zones Forum," bridging New York and Beijing online (10:00–11:30 a.m. EDT on August 16 / 10:00–11:30 p.m. Beijing time). Panelists included Cynthia (Zhu Anqi), gallery director, Beijing; Diao Yifei, former faculty at the College of Arts, Shenzhen University; Sun Lingyu, senior journalist at Southern People Weekly; and Chen Jiaxin, curator and creative-enterprise manager. Practitioners from China and the United States discussed cross-cultural curation and the contemporary art ecosystem, extending the idea of the "communal dinner" from the gallery into public discourse.
