中国是漆文化大国，福州是中国漆艺重镇。从沈绍安家族开创的近现代福州漆艺高潮，到沈福文建构的中国最早的漆学科，从改革开放中国漆画创作的勃兴，到新世纪漆艺走到今天，福州与中国漆艺的现当代发展进程都有着千丝万缕的关系。

当代美术思潮与漆文化资源的碰撞、交融开启了中国的漆语时代。

今天的福州漆艺，正在国际视野的展开中寻求其新的高度。本次双年展旨在严谨地从现当代美术史角度梳理中国现代漆艺的学术脉络，从器型、架上、空间三个层面精选数十位具有代表性的漆艺家进行深入的个案研究，同时与应邀的国际漆艺家进行比较研究，从而展示不同文化背景下漆语时代的视觉生态，建构中国漆艺界自身的价值链和术语库，为中国漆文化的发展提供充满学术活力的双年展平台。

China is a great country of lacquer culture, and Fuzhou has played animportant role in Chinese lacquer art. From the climax of modem lacquer artinitiated by the family of Shen Shao'an, to China's earliest lacquer disciplinepioneered by Shen Fuwen, from the creation prosperity of Chinese lacquerpainting during the times of Reform and Opening-Up, to the contemporarydevelopment of lacquer ware since the new century, Fujian has always beenclosely related to the modern and contemporary development course ofChinese lacquer art.

The collision and blending between the contemporary ideological trend ofart and the resources of lacquer culture has opened China's Era of LacquerLinguistics. Today the lacquer ware of Fuzhou is further developed at theinternational stage. Aiming to comb critically the academic context ofChinese modern lacquer art from the modern and contemporary art history,dozens of lacquer artists who are representative in the three dimensionsof shape, plane and space will be convened to carry out the deep casestudies.

Meanwhile, they will conduct the comparative studies with theirinternational counterparts to show the visual ecology of the Era of LacquerLinguistics under different cultural backgrounds, thus constructing theunique value chains and terminology database of Chinese community oflacquer art, and providing a platform of biennial exhibition which is full ofacademic vigor for the development of Chinese lacquer culture.
