“改造未來——第八屆上海多倫青年美術大展”7月31日在上海多倫現代美術館展出。展覽由上海多倫現代美術館向社會公開征稿以及提名推薦的方式征集作品，最終由專家評委評選出了在立意、表達和價值取向上都與本次主題相符的共計18位/組藝術家的作品參展，作品形式涵蓋繪畫、裝置、影像、行為表演等。

展覽以“改造未來”為主題，關注當下人類所面臨的共同處境，一面是虛擬現實、人工智能、生物基因科學的進步等一系列技術發展，讓移居月球、人機接口、人類意識永生成為似乎可預見的未來——技術發展似乎永無止境，并不斷破除人類局限；而另一面卻是世界環境污染與氣候變化、核輻射危機的繼續擴散、全球許多局部地區沖突和危機的加劇……期待、未知、不安原本就緊緊伴隨著我們；而一場新冠疫情的到來急劇深刻的改變了整個世界，讓我們重新面對生命，面對生存，面對生活，并且思考這一切的意義。在后疫情的時代，我們將迎來怎樣的未來？

藝術家、獨立策展人、社區樞紐站創建人王南溟向歐洲藝術協會介紹：作為當代藝術的實驗空間，多倫現代美術館關注中國當代藝術的發展動向和最新思潮，是為當代藝術服務的專業化現代美術館。這次青年展覽的感覺很學術，青年藝術家介入不少社會問題，不單單是把藝術作品“放置”在美術館空間，而是將藝術的種子“種植”在社會話題中，呈現關于生態、記憶、想象空間，通過藝術作品的思考和表達，重拾生命、生存的意義，重建對自我、對世界的認知。

多倫美術館曾玉蘭館長認為，作為公共文化的重要平臺，美術館在當代社會文明的演進中扮演著重要的角色，而作為中國第一家關注現當代藝術的公立美術館，上海多倫現代美術館自 2004年就創立了“上海多倫青年美術大展”項目，至今已經連續舉辦了七屆展覽。歷屆上海多倫青年美術大展所展出的作品均展現了當代中國青年的文化思考深度，凸顯了中國當代藝術的活力，推動中國當代藝術與國際文化藝術的交流。

曾玉蘭介紹說，本次展覽18 位\組入選藝術家的精彩創作，聚焦于藝術與科技、虛擬與現實、當下環境危機、全球化時代下個體的“身份”等具體問題，面對這些人類共有的處境，以當代藝術獨有的方式展開了思考和討論。入選作品既體現了館方“原創性、學術性、國際性”的辦館理念，也展現了當代青年藝術家的獨特創作視角，我們期待在本次展覽中這些藝術家的視角所展現的對世界的觀察、感知、理解、思考甚至想象，能觸動每一個人的內心、情感，帶來新的體驗，超越現實，超越當下，引發我們每一個人對未來的思考和想象。

本次展覽將展出至2022年8月31日。
