Photography in China, April 24-25, 2009: A free 2-day workshop at Northwestern University

在这个展览中，非常传统的中国文人式的对自然的热情以一种“不自然”的方式被呈现。14位建筑师与艺术家利用富美家所提供的通常在厨房，实验室，或是快餐厅中可常常见到的人造材料创造出了家具，空间，或是未定义用途的物品。
这次展览的主题是“不自然”。我们选择这个主题通过合成材料来重新思考生态和可持续性这样的话题。对环境问题的关注往往将人们错误引导到对天然材料的偏爱却忽略了许多天然材料无法再生的事实。材料的美学或道德价值可以不断被争论，但在当下人工环境中的生存之道，或许不自然，却是紧迫需要的。
更重要的是，“不自然”是一次对象赏石这样的中国人文传统中独特的自然主题的的再发现，尽管拾来之物的石被作品取代，但是诠释自然的激情作为对本次展览最重要的贡献贯穿始终。艺术家丁乙，郑在东，建筑师孟岩，陈旭东，华黎展示他们个人的山石，而祝晓峰，卜冰，徐甜甜的作品分别依次指向云，水，以及珊瑚。马清运的环与张斌/周薇的诱惑球相对抽象且引入与身体的互动。张永和，刘家琨，大舍的作品则将这些人造材料的内在之美展现至极致。
