“中国现代艺术档案”
北京大学“中国现代艺术档案”是北京大学视觉与图像研究中心的一个学术项目,其渊源是1986年在中央美术学院,后迁至北京大学的现代艺术资料汇集工作。“档案”自成立之初,即把20世纪70年代末以来中国现代艺术文献的收集、整理、编辑工作纳入其学术范围,保存积累了大量文献。“档案”的目的是搜集和记录与中国现代艺术相关的信息和资料,编制《中国当代艺术年鉴》,研究和发表艺术调查报告,介绍和总结中国当代艺术的状况,向国内外学者和机构提供中国当代艺术活动、艺术作品和艺术家的详尽资料。“档案”已初步建成网络数据库,以达到资源共享;同时计划将所有资料存放于北京大学图书馆的专门阅览室,供研究者使用。
Center for Visual Studies, Peking University and Chinese Modern Art Archive
Center for Visual Studies Peking University is a national base of Chinese traditional art, Chinese contemporary art and world art history. It has a group of scholars who, though of different disciplines, all specialize in the cultural and visual studies. The center is under the supervision of Prof. Dr. LaoZhu of Peking University.
Chinese Modern Art Archive (CMAA), one of the research projects of the Center, was founded in 1986 at Central Academy of Fine Arts (then moved to Peking University) and has been devoted to collecting and archiving documents on contemporary Chinese art work created after the mid-1970s. With the mission of documenting the contemporary Chinese artistic events, CMAA does its research through conducting surveys and publishing the Annual of Contemporary Art of China. The Annual provides information on art events, art works and artists in China for the researchers and institutions both domestic and abroad. CMAA also has an online database, which has been developed into an open resource for researchers. A special room will also be created for the archives at Peking University's library for public research.
