This is the first issue of a series of 'documents' published by a group of Chinese artists. The contents include interviews; artist statements/views of contemporary art; translations of excerpts of writings by Western artists/academics/critics; and finally, news about art exhibitions/events happening in China at the time of the publication.
「這是一本由藝術家獨立編輯，自籌資金出版的關於中國現代藝術的學術性內部交流資料。
本刊選編的內容注重海內外中國現代藝術家思想、觀念及活動的最新狀態；創作的原始性資料和檔案的記錄、整理、研究；注重藝術家的自我分析、批判、總結的過程；注重國際當下文化焦點問題的討論，以及與中國文化進程、現代藝術發展的多樣性和特殊性關係；介紹有價值的國際現代藝術運動經典文獻。
以此媒介為中國現代藝術家的試驗性藝術提供發表、解釋、交流的機會。通過這種相互參與、交流和探討，為中國現代藝術創造生存環境，並促進其發展。」（摘自’編者的話’）
