撒把盐

展出的作品算是苏老师近些年甚至早年的作品，算是半个回顾展。最近那些坐在藤椅上打发时间所勾描的钢笔画并没有展出。

前言写得朴实而感伤。虚无，50年代出生的中国艺术家的精神筹码吗？大毛宣称自己是虚无主义者，而这位经历病魔困扰多年的才子也仍旧被虚无缠绕。没有出路或许本就是一种胜利，从空中往下跌就是一种存在主义。

苏老师画中的马、蚊子、昆虫的眼睛都极富神经质，孤单，尖锐，却瞄向虚无。与八大山人鸟儿悲愤的眼神稍有区别。

关于花鸟虫鱼的传统学院派审美里的文人画在苏老师手里变得有些现代意味，连荧光色也敢用。对造型和色彩的极度敏锐及大胆创造真是造物者给他的天大恩赐。

还有一系列是综合材料，带有观念性图式。主要是对材料的实验。 

云南真是诞生伟大风景画家的地方，但优秀的风景画家屈指可数，不在风景里重生，就在风景里永死。苏老师的风景里有一种唯美、伤感、还有朦胧诗的气息。看他处理一潭水、一片云，若不是对梦境或完满世界（仙境？）的向往，神来之笔从何而来？

留意到这样一幅画，竟然靠近展厅入口处，和苏老师的总体风格、精神诉求迥异，温情、甜蜜而自在。

2004年夏天瑞典女艺术家奥萨·赫葛德作为进驻艺术家来到昆明，在这期间他开始在附近的公园练习太极。
通过镜头和胶卷她捕捉到了太极和练习者之间的能量和互动。
她尝试看到自然的形态，书法中的动态和太极的运动中所蕴含的奇妙思维。
她研究了自然，人类，和公园生活之间的关联。
中国书法家林散之( 1898 ) 的枯笔在书法创作中运笔飞快 , 夹杂着丝丝点点的白痕 , 称之为 ” 飞白 ”.
空白的区域和墨迹轻跳过纸面，优美流畅的笔触表达着生命的律动。

帕刻·拉尔松 的画面包涵文字 / 句子 , 在画面上的出现像一张大图解 ， 讨论不同的议题 , 如儿时记忆或是个体和社会，精神，想象力的关系，如羞耻和犯罪行为。
其它的作品是抽象绘画，有着简单的元素，如由各式各样的线条或点组合成的画面。 帕刻 在展览中将展出有文句和抽象的绘画。

2003 年夏天，安娜·卡尔松作为进驻艺术家到访昆明 TCG诺地卡 ，她的创作方式多样，如素描，行为表演，绘画，装置作品 。创作的主题如人道和失误，现实和幻想。
她展出的作品将是画有沼泽地里的杂草和棍子的画作。
