A batch of Chinese contemporary oil paintings appeared in Rome, an Argentine accordion player coming to China to introduce the charm of the instrument, or the historical scenery preserved at a small town along the ancient tea-horse road----some small activities or events with not large scale, however, the exchange of "Artistic Ideas" may lead to a broader horizon.

       Like XU Bing, who has won STAR of THE YEAR, the image award of Varda Award by his Eyes of Dragonfly, his personal exhibition at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing may not be particularly ambitious in the world's overwhelming art exhibitions, however, the theme of the exhibition "Thoughts and Methods" is more thought-provoking – "the depth of art actually comes from the artist's own artistic language to deal with the relationship between you and the reality and society in which you live. The level of technique reflects that of his art, and definitely not between style genres", perhaps XU Bing's "thought" is capable of providing more inspiration to people involved in art communication - the scale of artistic communication can be large or small with diverse forms and the exchanges and collision of ideas inside is most crucial --- "I want to say something that has never been spoken, there is no need to say anything that has been mentioned before"--- What XU Bing said exactly reflects our mind.
