　　策划人Demetrio Paparoni 认为：王广义在《通俗人类学研究》系列作品中，参照种族的概念，讨论了基于形态和生理特征的个体和群落分类学的相关课题。艺术家集中讨论了社会人类学和犯罪人类学的科学和伪科学理论之间的关系、当下的生物遗传学和生物技术的研究，以及这些理论应用于实际和政治目的的后果。王广义通过《种族、暴力与美学》（2017）、《无知之幕》（2018）、《种族分析》（2018）三个不同系列的作品展开了他的研究。

　　策展人Arman Tsaturyan认为：《通俗人类学研究》突出了每一种基于身体特征的解释和归类的任意性，归类已导致并继续导致种族迫害和种族清洗这样的反常行为。再次说明，王广义在这里并非以艺术家的身份去为社会的扭曲提供解决方案，而是以观察者的身份，向我们提出与人的本质相关的问题，他在向自己追问,同时也在迫使让我们向自己追问，这些现象背后隐藏着什么。通过这些作品，他让观察者有可能展开自己的研究并给予他们自身以答案。

Wang Guangyi. Exhibition Popular Study on Anthropology

　　The National Gallery of Armenia is pleased to present Wang Guangyi's exhibition Popular Study on Anthropology, a highly important cultural event that, while paying homage to one of the greatest contemporary artists in China, testifies our museum will to propose itself as a forge of contemporary research. The show is curated by Demetrio Paparoni who was assigned a Gold Medal from Ministry of Culture of Armenia in 2018 and Arman Tsaturyan the director of National Gallery of Armenia.

　　Following the spirit of time, the unpublished cycle of works Popular Study on Anthropology, which Wang Guangyi has realized for this exhibition at the National Gallery of Armenia, deals with a highly topical issue: the categorization of human physical features inevitably leading to easy and instrumental simplifications based on true falsehoods which exclude, lead to exalt or stigmatize entire communities of individuals, ignoring the essence of the human being. Demetrio Paparoni, a critic who has been following the developments of Wang Guangyi's work for many years, focuses here on this new cycle of works.

　　Popular Study on Anthropology highlights the arbitrariness of every interpretation and cataloguing based on physical characteristics, cataloguing that led and continues to lead to the aberration of racial persecution and ethnic cleansing. Once again, Wang Guangyi does not present himself as an artist who offers solutions to the distortions of society, rather as an observer proposing us questions related to the essence of the human being, to ask himself and make us ask ourselves what lies behind the phenomena. In doing so, he puts the observers in the condition to start their own research and give their own answers.
