“石猫猫”是普遍存在于滇池东岸村落中的“守护神”，几乎在每个村子的南面都能看到它的身影。在过去二十年间的城市改造中，很多村落被抹去，但石猫猫往往成为被留存到最后的事物在艺术家参加此次滇池风土艺术季的作品中，这些神灵被以不同的材料重新塑造，并在水与树林间安家。在被一种新的逻辑与价值祛魅的土地上，至少一些曾经被赋予意义的形态能够以这样的方式保留下来，以艺术之名在这里等待发现，等待捕获新的目光。

“Stone cats” are guardian figures found scattered throughout the villages on the eastern shore of lake Dian. They can be found at the south end of virtually every village in the area. During the urban transformation of the past twenty years, many villages have been wiped out, but the stone cats are often the last vestiges to remain. In this artwork, these gods have been re-crafted using various materials and given a home among the trees. In a land being disenchanted by new forms of logic, certain forms once bestowed with meaning are being preserved in this new way. In the name of art, they now stand here, waiting to be discovered, waiting to capture a new gaze.

程新皓，1985 年出生于云南。2013 年毕业于北京大学化学与分子工程学院，获博士学位。现作为艺术家工作生活于云南昆明。他的作品通常基于长期的田野调查，并均与故乡云南相关。通过身体在场的工作方式，程新皓使用录像、装置、摄影与文字等媒介，体察不同来源的逻辑、话语、知识与其背后自然、社会、历史，及镶嵌于其中的行动者之间的复调链接。

Cheng Xinhao was born in 1985 in Yunnan Province. He received his PhD. from Peking University College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering in 2013. He currently lives and works in Kunming as an artist. His works often take the form of long-term field research, and are all connected to his native Yunnan Province. Through an approach based on physical presence, Cheng Xinhao uses such mediums as video, installation, photography, and writing to explore forms of logic, discourse and knowledge from different sources, their natural, social, and historical roots, and the polyphonic connections between actors embedded within.
