— 档案 · 艺术家的日常,慢记录 后墙回声档案 The Backwall Echoes — An Art Dialogue Archive
「后墙」不在北京,不在上海,在成都。我们不追流量,也不做爆款。后墙做的事很慢 — 走进艺术家的工作室,坐下来,聊一聊他们的日常。这些对话不润色、不总结、不喊口号。它们只是一些回声 — 来自那些还在画、还在做、还在认真活着的人。 BACKWALL is not in Beijing, not in Shanghai — it is in Chengdu. We do not chase traffic, nor build viral moments. What we do is slow: we walk into an artist’s studio, sit down, and talk about their everyday. These conversations are not polished, not summarised, not made into slogans. They are simply echoes — from people who are still painting, still making, still living with intention.
这份档案收录了 20 位艺术家的访谈,跨度 2 年。从 2024 年 7 月到 2026 年 5 月。他们是当代中国艺术真正的肌理 — 不在双年展的中心,在工作室的日常里。 This archive gathers 20 artist conversations, spanning two years — from July 2024 to May 2026. They are the actual texture of contemporary Chinese art — not at the centre of biennales, but in the everyday of the studio.
我们做这件事的初衷很简单: 每一个认真做事的人,都值得被认真对待。 — 谭小正 Our motive is simple: every person who takes their work seriously deserves to be taken seriously in return. — Tan Xiaozheng

All 20 conversations published on tanxiaozheng.com/category/news/ under the Backwall series (Jul 2024 – May 2026). This index page is a redesigned entry point — each card links to the full long-read on the original site. Originally gathered from backwall.cn (the legacy Backwall archive) and re-published on the Tan Xiaozheng platform.
Twenty artists across 22 months: Chengdu locals, returnees, late starters, veterans, and student voices. The series “The Backwall Echoes” is curated by Tan Xiaozheng; the interviews recorded by the BACKWALL editorial team in Chengdu. The legacy archive lives at backwall.cn (2023–); all new work and re-publications continue on tanxiaozheng.com.
