春雷过后，是万物初长的时节，当太阳到达黄经345°时，“东风解冻，蛰虫始振”，恰如大家今天在上海多伦现代美术馆所看到的，这次参展的50余位艺术家，他们不是初出茅庐的后生，基本上都是出生于1980年前后的一代具有相当实力的新锐艺术家，他们在艺术创作语言和图式上都独具个性，而整个策展团队，也是由这样一群年轻人组成，在这些虎虎有生气的年轻面孔前，呈现给观众更多的是一股无可抵挡的锐气。
2000年的3月5日，一些上海及周边地区的青年艺术家自发组建上海惊蛰艺术沙龙，也就是本次展览主办方之一上海惊蛰艺术联盟的前身，通过连续举办一系列的新锐艺术群展，吸纳了大量具有学院派背景的年轻艺术家；而最早提出“独生一代“艺术观念的两位北京策展人赵树林和黄岩，也是中国最早几个长时间关注70后和80后艺术群体的有心人，这次他们两位作为展览的学术支持力量，给予了我们很大的帮助；2003年12月，上海多伦现代美术馆开馆以来，一直致力于挖掘和推进本土化的当代艺术力量，先后举办了两届上海多伦青年美术大展和一系列的新锐艺术家个展，成为中国当代艺术发展史中不可回避的一家专业服务于当代艺术的公共美术馆，今年，我们又成立了上海多伦当代艺术中心来实施本次“345°上海新锐艺术大展”的具体操作，这次展览的整体架构和后续演进，都将以上述三个关注并乐意推广“新锐艺术家”的学术群体为策源地，为中国当代艺术的良性健康发展不断注入新的血液和能量。
适时国际艺术（present international multiform art）是意大利国际文化艺术交流机构，上海惠生艺术中心是隶属于惠生控股集团的公益性艺术机构，在此我代表上海多伦现代美术馆，对他们两家机构为促成本次展览的成功举办而作出的贡献表示由衷的感谢。
我们看到，就在今天，中国当代艺术的鲜活力量正被“加持”，上海多伦现代美术馆将一如既往地成为年轻艺术家的“福地”，我们期望更多的新锐艺术家能够在多伦这个小小的舞台亮相，多伦愿意成为艺术创新的实验地和助推器，让我们用这个精彩纷呈的展览对世界发出我们自己的呼喊：年轻人已经来了，你们准备好了吗？

345°—Shanghai New Fresh Art Exhibition
Foreword
Following the spring thunder is the time for all living things on the earth to start to grow. When the sun reaches the celestial longitude, “the east wind will defrost the earth; the insects will have their first quivering”. As everyone shall see in Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art today, the more than 50 participating artists are no new-fledged young men, but new fresh artists born in around the 80’s with artistic strength, whose language of artistic creation and schemata bears unique characteristics. In addition, the whole organizing team of this exhibition is composed of a group of young people as well. All these vigorous young faces bring to the show an irresistible freshness.
Back to March 5th, 2000, some young artists in Shanghai and surrounding areas initiated the establishment of Shanghai Jingzhe Art Salon, which, being the precursor of Shanghai Jingzhe Art Association, had organized a series of new fresh art group exhibitions and attracted vast young artists with academic background. And the two curators in Beijing, Zhao Shulin and Huang Yan, who have kindly given us academic support and great help this time, firstly proposed the art concept “single child generation” and also were the earliest ones showing keen interest in the art group born in-between the 70’s and the 80’s. Since its opening in Dec. 2003, Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art has been always dedicating to the cultivation and propelling of the localized contemporary art force, and has hosted two Shanghai Duolun Art Exhibitions of Young Artists and a series of solo-exhibitions for new fresh artists, shaping itself into a public museum specifically serving contemporary art in the Art history of China. This year, we’ve established Shanghai Duolun Contemporary Art Center to carry out the actual operation of “345°Shanghai New Fresh Art Exhibition”. The overall structure and the afterward evolvement of this exhibition will find its resources in the above-mentioned three academic groups, which are ready to promote “New Fresh Artists” and will give them long-term attention, so as to infuse fresh blood and energy into China contemporary art.
Present International Multiform Art is an international culture and art exchange institution in Italy, while Shanghai Wison Art Center is an art institution of public welfare under owned by Wison Group Holding Limited. On behalf of Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art, I’d like to take this opportunity to express our heart-felt gratitude to the two institutions for their immense contribution made for this exhibition.
We can see that, right now, in China the fresh strength of contemporary art is receiving “the blessing of Buddha”. As always, Shanghai Duolun museum of Modern Art will remain as the “promised land” and experimental field for artistic creation and a booster for young artists, with the hope that more and more new fresh artists can be brought onto the stage in Duolun. Let this unusually brilliant exhibition yell out at the world：The young have already arrived. Are you ready for this now?
