Features: In this issue of "Exhibition Frontiers," the editors selected a group of interdisciplinary research articles centered around photography, visual culture, and urban issues, aiming to attract scholars' attention and interest, and to advance the study of visual image issues in China's urbanization process. In the "Open Disciplines" column, two lengthy essays discuss the construction of modernity from the perspectives of the origins of capitalism and proletarian revolutionary literature, respectively, offering a knowledge-based discourse and value analysis of the accumulation and fragmentation of modernity issues within two major ideological domains. In "Collection Research," Mr. Li Jun's essay traces the conceptual history of collecting through ancient and modern collecting histories, leading the exploration of the concept of "collection" to an anthropological examination of the depth of human nature. Each article in the book is profound in thought and unique in insight, and it is believed that it will provide rich and diverse inspirations for understanding the role of art museums in contemporary cultural construction. The book features columns such as "Art Museums in Contemporary Culture," "Open Disciplines," "Exhibition Frontiers," "Collection Research," and "Diverse Perspectives in the Forest of Books," collecting 22 articles exploring the world of art.
