第二届中国美术批评家年会在北京运河人家度假酒店举行，这是距城市30多公里的郊区，像个孤岛。
各个时代的美术批评家围坐在一起讨论的题目是：艺术批评的精神品格与学术形象
1、批评家身份的自我言说
2、当代艺术批评的思想资源与运用方法
3、艺术批评的学术规范与写作方法
4、艺术批评的价值判断与多元论思考
5、艺术批评与艺术市场的关系问题大家一番又一番讨论，各自从自身的经历来回应上述种种问题。从金融危机谈到批评何为，如此等等。
时至今日，真不知道何日再遇健康的批评？
双年展开幕么人山人海，怕招待不周，没请同学们来，同学们都很理解我。开幕一个多月来，同学们不断来电，要集中看双年展，再不看，快闹翻天了。约同学真难，个个都是大拿、忙爷。出国出差的五六位，去援疆的一位，还有由于工作忙迟到的就不点名啦！大家开心就0K啦——–
今天，我班同学终于——纷纷从天而降了，作为双年展的快客来到展厅，我们一起来分享早已被我反复唱熟了“快城快客”的快乐！我当然当讲解员啦
金石的《1/2生活》以等比例缩小一倍的手法，复原了城市中流动人口的居住之所。他以简陋家具和日常用品的混杂来见证人口流动和都市花样年华的对比，让鲜艳的色彩来体现流动人对生活的热情和乐观，以空间的狭小和拥堵来说明他们生活的压力和无奈。这些临时居住的房间同时也是整个城市化进程中的另一面。
1/2 Life by Jin Shi reconstructs the average room of an urban migrant at a ratio of 50%. It shows a messy room with cheap furniture, reflecting the sharp contrast between the meager life of a migrant with the stereotypically colorful life of an urban resident. Bright colors in the room represent the passion and optimism of migrants, while the small and messy space symbolizes the pressure they face and their powerlessness . The temporary rooms in his works epitomize life in rapidly urbanizing spaces.
周滔的作品《1,2,3,4》拍摄了人民广场四十余家店铺等单位的员工晨会，并将这些记录影像依据其口令节奏进行整体剪辑和编排。在现代企业管理最具效率模式的表象下，透露出的是人口的快速聚合与流动、社会结构的剧烈转型。来自市场和效益内核的刺激，集体方式的表象与动机也在随之演化。作品探讨一种群体集结所促成的视觉形态的“风格化”。影像中新移民响亮的口号，就是每天早晨快城快客拉响的汽笛声。
1,2,3,4 by Zhou Tao recorded morning staff meetings in over forty shops and companies in the area around the People’s Square. The video materials were edited based on the rhythms of the corporate songs (or chants) of these companies. Beneath the surface of efficiency-driven management strategies of modern companies, the video shows a rapid movement of population and drastic changes in the social structure. Aiming at larger market shares and higher profitability, these companies are witnessing constant changes in their collective outlook and motivations. This work which records regular morning gatherings, offers viewers ’stylized’ visual experiences. It is therefore, more than appropriate to compare the loud chanting and singing of new migrants in the video to the sound of the steam whistle of ‘translocalmotion’ each morning.
看到这些翠绿色的气球了吗？它是我今天想呈现给你的玩具，创意天下的名目繁多，气球也成了发财的宝贝，能带来出其不意的惊奇与喜悦，还有不可预计的财富．它愉悦了我的晚会，如此美丽的颜色，如此多的形象，绝对是在梦中遇见。
岳敏君的《五彩龙腾》将神话传说中龙的形象向前追溯到神话诞生之前的阶段。文化从远古的文明迁移到了快速发展的城市，它支撑着我们努力发现和创造新的文化。作品采用了拟人化的手法，将人类的特点加给自然界，强化笑的意味，增添快乐。作品在空间中的摆设也是为了拉近龙和当代人的关系，使观众和作品双方都具有一种双向的感受，启发我们在城市日常生活中获得与自然界的视觉经验的方式。作品的表面运用汽车喷漆的方式上色，这种色彩处理方法具有现代工业的媒介特质，从一个侧面来看，是在反思、讽刺浪费能源的人类最终也会像恐龙消亡一样，失去今天的交通工具。岳敏君的《五彩龙腾》无疑将快城快客放置在一个让人们联想到远古迁移的背景之下，让人们对当今能源反思的同时，体验到人世间的沧桑巨变。
Colorful Running Dinosaurs by Yue Mingjun, presents to viewers the image of a “Chinese Dragon” older than even the age of mythology. Culture continues to develop from the time of ancient civilizations to the current era featuring its rapidly developing cities, which provide us with a solid foundation to discover and create new cultures. This work applies a personifying approach that adds a human element to the natural world. The effect of a “smile” is also highlighted, creating a strong sense of happiness. The installation of the work in the museum space narrows the distance between it and modern people. Viewers and the work are forced to be in proximity of each other so that viewers have to look at the work closely, inspiring us to find our own way of looking at the natural world in our daily urban life. The work was spray-painted, a method frequently used in modern industries, in particular the automotive industry. This is, in a way ironic given our excessive use of energy. If we don’t stop the trend, our most important means of transportation will also suffer the same fate as the dinosaurs and vanish from the surface of the planet. Reflecting dramatic changes over millions of years, the work stimulates the imagination of Translocalmotion on ancient times and encourages contemporary leaders to take second thoughts with respect to current energy policies.
