继2008年中国当代艺术家纸上作品群展“画纸藏龙”的成功举办之后，F2画廊又再度推出“染纸倾怀”纸上作品展，本次展览英文名字“In the Mood for Paper”的灵感来自于电影《花样年华》的英文名“In the Mood for Love”。 而较之当下的经济环境，在大多数人都受到全球经济危机压抑的时候，此次展览的标题也给这个氛围增添了些许轻松的意味。
尽管展览的标题略微戏剧化，展览本身同其他许多展览一样具有自己的深度、激情和坚定性。这是一次对话的展览，它不仅通过汉语、印度语和波斯语，更通过艺术家的笔触，将艺术家们的灵魂融入其中，将我的梦想融入其中，这其中也可能融入了你的梦想。画纸很薄，但却已经足够承载作品所要表达的意义，作品以相同的方式在阐述不同的语言。展览将向观众陈述时代所担负的苦难，描述克服这些困难所感受到的喜悦，展现心声有可能被听到的兴奋之情，害怕被发现的忐忑不安，渴望去触碰的心情和对于未知的困惑。人不得不去听那批判的声音、希望的声音和鼓励的声音，这声音如此之大以至于人们只有一个选择那就是逾越偏见。
纸张是一种媒介，它是最简单最初始的媒介，也与艺术家有着更亲密的关系，它能将观众和艺术家拉得更近，观众几乎能感受到艺术家在纸张这脆弱的表面所做的每一个动作。
在这次展览中，我们有机会可以同时欣赏到来自中国、印度、伊朗的三十多位当代艺术家特别激励人心的创作。作品来自世界上污染较为严重的几个地区，但是展览中的作品将让观众感受到新鲜空气，鉴赏大量优秀作品的不同品位、风格和绘画技巧。
中国、印度和伊朗都是世界历史上主要的古文明国家，都有着悠久而丰富的艺术传统，除此之外还有一点重要的共通点就是他们都已经开始重新崛起。他们将多年以来遭受的偏见抛诸脑后，他们需要得到认可需要被聆听，他们渴望不再被先入为主的成见所挑剔，因为那都是媒体和政治所灌输给这个社会的。最好的方法就是通过艺术来描述这种转变。
“In the Mood for Paper”的参展艺术家将向观众展示他们现实中的某些状态和他们与生俱来的丰富的人文精神。展览将阐述世界同一的主题：爱和梦想，对于艺术的热爱，包括中国、印度和伊朗在内。

'IN THE MOOD FOR PAPER"
Inspired by the title of the movie "In The Mood For Love", "In The Mood For Paper" is a follow-up of the acclaimed "Crouching Paper, Hidden Dragon" works on paper show held at F2 Gallery in 2008 - a group show of solely Chinese contemporary artists. Here's an opportunity for the first time to experience three influential regional and international powers, China, India and Iran, simultaneously through the eyes and fingertips of over thirty established and emerging contemporary artists, all creating exceptional inspiring works of art. The "lighter" title reflects the very different economical situation in which this show finds place; a severe global crisis that has put a damper on everyone's mood for quite sometime now. Now that the word 'investment" has shifted to the back seat, art is again back for the art lovers and art itself.
Despite of its playful title, the show is one of depth, passion and determination. It's a talking show. It talks to you not in Mandarin, Hindi or Farsi but through the strokes of the brushes dipped in the colors of the artist's dreams, mine and perhaps yours. Through the thin layers of paper strong enough to hold all that it bears to say, every single one speaking the same language of oneness yet so unique. It talks about the pain carried through decades, the joy of making it through, the excitement of the possibilities of being heard, the fear of exposure, the lust of a touch, the uncertainty of the unknown. One can not help but to hear the voices of criticism, hope and encouragement so loud and is left with the choice of crossing the sheer line of prejudice.
The works have been made in some of the most polluted parts of the world, but walking through this exhibition, one will not fail feeling the breathe of fresh air, witnessing a vast amount of diversity in taste, style and technique.
"In The Mood For Paper" is bringing the contemporary Chinese, Indian and Iranian artists together to present some aspects of their reality and the rich civilization and culture that's embedded in their DNA and genes. Its a show that talks to you in the universal language of love and also tells you about a dream. A love for art and a dream that includes China, India and Iran.
