Flash Art 关于中国艺术家赵赵创作实践的首部英文专著《Provocateur》现已发行，本书内容由艺术专业人士侯瀚如和李振华等亲自执笔，深入剖析了作品中的微妙与精髓。本书将在香港巴塞尔期间于Flash Art展位(22号)进行发售。

　　这部新书细致呈现了赵赵的创作之路，展现了艺术在当今时代剧变的语境下处理社会、政治和审美冲突的能力。赵赵始终希望藉由艺术实践，平衡中国现行社会体系和思想体系对个人生活的倾向性。不仅如此，他的作品还引起了超越国界的共鸣，在国际舞台上声名鹊起。他对媒材的娴熟运用、风趣而不乏讽刺的艺术语言以及毫不妥协的抗争精神，使他在当代文化对话中肩负起举足轻重的角色。

　　We are pleased to announce the release of PROVOCATEUR, the first English monograph on the work of Chinese artist Zhao Zhao, featuring essays by Hou Hanru and Li Zhenhua. It will be presented at Art Basel Hong Kong and available for purchase at the Flash Art booth (no. 22).

　　This new title examines Zhao Zhao’s working practice, emblematic for art’s ability to address conflict — social, political, and aesthetic — in a world undergoing unprecedented upheaval. The artist has consistently positioned his art as a counterweight to systems of control that affect and regulate the lives of individuals in China; while his work’s increasingly global reach testifies to its profound resonance beyond his country’s borders. His deft use of a wide range of materials, combined with a tonal elusiveness that veers between the faintly ludic, the sardonic, and the unambiguously confrontational, justify his position as a crucial agent in contemporary cultural discourse.

　　HouHanru (b. 1963, Guangzhou) is a critic and curator based in Rome and San Francisco. Since 2013 he has been the artistic director of MAXXI. He joined the Guggenheim as a consulting curator in 2015.

　　Li Zhenhua (b. 1975, Beijing) is a writer, curator, and film producer based in Beijing, Berlin, and Zurich. He has curated Art Basel Hong Kong’s film program since its launch in 2014.
