南朝时代的《世说新语》，志人记事笔记的名著，内容收罗三十六门，一千一百多则。所记录的对象，三百年间的人与事，成为一个时期历史的重要资料。
北京新语，做为组织一次展览的藉口，受“世说”的启发，试图以近似日常笔记的方式，记录和反馈当下生活与工作在北京的艺术家们最鲜活的状态与面目。这记录注定不可能是全面的，更似一个采样，一些碎片，林林总总，吉光片羽，闪烁着灵光。
北京，是中国当代艺术策源的中心，四十年来，这里一向聚集着最多的艺术家，最旺盛的创造力，最前沿的探索与实验。当然，这里也是新思潮与旧窠臼碰撞最激烈的中心，其中不乏新与旧的交织、驳杂，甚至转换，曾经新的蜕变为了旧的，有时旧的却又重焕新生。
“新语”，是此时此地的日常笔记，是主观的，有限的，也是局部性的；是片刻的，刹那间的，却也会留下笔迹。

“New Account of the Tales of the World”, published in the Southern Song Dynasty, is a book that contains 36 chapters and more than 1100 historical anecdotes and character sketches of literati, musicians, and painters who lived from the Second through Fourth Centuries. This famous volume constitutes an important source for that historical period.

“New Expression of Beijing”, used as an excuse to organize an exhibition, is inspired by the “tales of the world”, attempts to record and present feedbacks from the most recent and vivid expressions of the artists who live and work here, by means of their everyday notes and sketches.This kind of record is certainly incomplete, but rather similar to a collection of samples and pieces in all shapes, forms and fragments that dazzle and radiate with their aura.
Beijing, the source center for Chinese contemporary art over the last four decades, has always had the largest number of artists, the most vibrant creativity, where the most cutting-edge exploration and experimentation took place. Of course, it is also where new ideas clashed with the old ones, the new integrated, assimilated, or even replaced the old, or where the new transformed the old, or at times, the old is reborn into the new.

“New Expression”, presents the notes and sketches of here and now, the works on view embody the subjective, limited, yet detailed practices of these artists, at the same time, they are momentary, ephemeral, yet leaving their marks behind.
