Features: The term "" () was once one of the most fashionable words in the field of art. As an important branch of elite culture, avant-garde art was popular in the 1980s and early 1990s, always embodying a stance of "modern," "avant-garde," "experimental," and "anti-traditional," playing the role of art or art criticism. "Elite" and "avant-garde" became some of the most profound words in the memory of art. "Today's Avant-Garde" focuses on "today," reflecting the latest state in the field of art. This is Issue 9. In the group of articles titled "Today's Perspectives," the articles explore the current state of experimental (avant-garde) cinema and experimental filmmakers in the world today. "Avant-Garde Focus" highlights one of the most acclaimed artists in the international art field, Cai Guo-Qiang. "Dialogues and Interviews" is a subtle dialogue about "Galleries and Artists," featuring the well-known painter and critic Chen Danqing and Wu Liang. In "Coffeehouse Chats," "Hair in Our Time" by Wang Min'an, "Other Fakes," "On the Spot Records" with "Artist on the Spot: Interview with Zhang Dali," and Deleuze's "Nomadic Thought" in "Across the River" all showcase art avant-garde and art ideas worth reading—readers are encouraged to "Read Excerpts" and "Read the Table of Contents" to savor them in detail.
