In the wake of the lingering fever of the 4th Art Forum between Cross-Straits, Hong Kong and Macao, which was held in Hong Kong, this journal focuses the attention on Hong Kong, this amazing place again and its spontaneous passions of literature and arts. No matter as the preparation for the M+ Space which makes a stir and arouses the curiosity in the related circle, or the “ice-breaking” of the dramatic exchange between Hong Kong and Taiwan, or the prosperous diversity of literary growth in Hong Kong, all of these are just the value of our close examination of Hong Kong.
The democratic spirit of Chinese product designing, the secrets of popularity of Chinese TV programs in the world, the works concerning the theme of “nature” of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and what kind of art charms still remain when the impressionist paintings “lost” the colors in which they used to take pride in? All of these specific details of cultural and art exchange are worthy of our repeated appreciations.
Micro-blog, micro message (viz. We-Chat app), micro novel, micro film and micro life, the concepts entitled with the prefix “micro” come in succession. “Micro revolution” sweeps across the living space of individuals, the power of “micro” individuals shakes the one-way transmission from the up to the bottom and forms the unprecedented “micro life”. To some extent, the trend of art exchange in more and more micro ways comes into being, which is the fresh thing the tentacles of “micro revolution” just reaches.
The contemporary social life and cultural contexts tend to be more and more micro and exquisite individualized expression. To advocate the small-sized, micro narrative, restrained and de-centralized way and take advantage of the tendency of “individual spirit” and “micro perspective” to carry out art exchange, it will provide more possibilities for the development of Chinese arts.
