See you sketches 再见吧速写

"See you sketches" contains more than 2,000 sketches and texts of Chen Danqing, recording the artist's life experience spanning more than half a century since he was a teenager. These experiences are used as clues to divide the book into six volumes, each volume has no cover, only the binding and paper corresponding to the era as a distinction, the sketches on the pages have the function of painting on the one hand, and on the other hand have the function of recording. These images belong to Chen Danqing personally, and at the same time inevitably carry the imprint of the great changes of the times, and are associated with the collective memory of Chinese intellectuals. The sketches and texts are spliced through the design, and then echo the shape of the book to form a new discourse space. Because of the lack of material, the Chinese people of that generation often have the consciousness of storage, and there are often countless large and small storage objects in the home, which seems to be an instinct. Therefore, the six books were also packed into a gray-blue box, like a box of sundries stored in the corner, important but not so important.

《再见吧速写》收录了陈丹青2000余件速写作品及文字，记录了艺术家从青少年以来横跨半个多世纪的生活经历。这些经历被作为线索，将全书分为了六册，每册没有封面，只有与时代相对应的装帧和纸张作为区分，页面中的速写一方面具备绘画性的功能，另一方面又带有记录的属性，这些图像既属于陈丹青个人，同时也不可避免地携带着大时代变迁的印记，与中国知识分子的集体记忆相关联。速写、文字通过设计进行了版面的拼接，再与书籍的形态相呼应形成了新的话语空间。 因为物质的匮乏，那代中国人常有收纳的自觉，家中常有无数大大小小的收纳物，这好像成了一种本能。因此，六册书也被装进一个灰蓝色的盒子中，像是角落里存放的某箱杂物，重要又不那么重要。
