中國當代藝術獎(CCAA)2012
最佳藝術家獎：白雙全先生
評委評語：
白雙全的作品是對藝術與生活邊界的挑戰，其藝術創作強調與自己日常生活的密切關係，所表現的均為日常生活中的凡人瑣事與狀態。他的藝術近乎無形並無法記錄，但卻以出眾的準確性探索了人類境遇的複雜層面。
白雙全1977年生於福建，在香港接受教育並留港工作至今。無論是裝置、照片、繪畫還是行動，他在不同媒介的創作中都繼承並發揚了植根于西方與亞洲的概念藝術傳統。作為一名在創作方法與藝術語言上都已發展成熟的藝術家，白雙全立足于現實生活的具體性，通過對其中隱性潛能的揭示達成了日常生活的再發現這一轉化，從而在現代性宏偉敍事中被忽略和壓抑的日常生活趣味變成了藝術表現的中心，被賦予了不同尋常的價值和意義。所以，白雙全的創作更多源於一種中間的，模棱兩可、似是而非的狀態，不留行跡地打破各種界限，找到平衡關係。通過作品中豐富的多義和歧義，白雙全的作品既不為市場服務，也不能被媒體利用，他的觀眾永遠是那些對發現充滿熱忱的人們。基於上述理由，本屆CCAA評委會將最佳藝術家獎頒給白雙全先生。
Contemporary Chinese Art Awards (CCAA) 2012
Best Artist: Mr. Pak Sheung Chuen
Jury Statement:
Pak Sheung Chuen manages to produce works that, against all odds, are recognizable as art. Emphasizing its intimate relationship with daily life by engaging with everyday situations and common people, his art is almost invisible, almost impossible to document, but manages to explore the human condition in all its complexities and with loving precision.
Born in 1977, Fujian, educated and living in Hong Kong, Pak works with installations, photo, painting, video and perhaps fore mostly actions—continuing and expanding a conceptual tradition with both Western and Asian roots. As an artist who has matured in terms of methodology, he focuses on the realities of everyday life, revealing the uniqueness that enables the exploration of its uncharted potentialities. Consequently, these potentialities of everyday life, suppressed by the grand narratives of modernity, become the center of artistic expression and assume new meanings. Viewed under this light, Pak works from a state of suspension and ambiguity that subtly subverts the balance of power between different systems. Rich in the articulation of ambiguities, Pak's work is not for the market, not for the media, but for everyone who cares about discovery. I hereby congratulate Mr. Pak for winning the 2012 CCAA Best Artist Award.
