成立于2002年，起初名为“阳江组”，从2017年开始，更名为“阳江组合”。成员包括：郑国谷（1970年生于阳江）、陈再炎（1971年生于阳春）、孙庆麟（1974年生于阳江）。他们以阳江为基地,以中国书法作为自身当代艺术实践的独特媒介。
阳江组合和他们众多的当地合作者总是以其创作实践力图挣脱任何既定规则和可控范围。他们的书法，更确切地说，是行动，可以无所不在地和各种异质的社会行为结合起来，新闻、搏彩、足球、大甩卖…… 在日常、酒、茶和话语的共同发酵中，时间和材料转化成整体的书法情境。当代现实在他们看来，就是一张活生生的书法。进而，汉字书写作为反映世界的力量，混合了人生旅程中不可知的动力，自然锤炼成为独特的当代艺术实践：我书故我在。
An artistic group founded in 2002 by Zheng Guogu (b. 1970, Yangjiang, China), Chen Zaiyan (b.1971, Yangchun, China) and Sun Qinglin (b.1974, Yangjiang, China). Yangjiang Group takes its name from their hometown where the artists are based. They use the unique medium of Chinese calligraphy to develop a diverse contemporary practice.
Rather than rebelling against the tradition of Chinese calligraphy, Yangjiang Group gets its inspiration from the origin of the “long river” of Chinese calligraphy – the ancient days when painting and writing forms were not divided. For Yangjiang Group, the momentum of modern society is calligraphy coming to life and the process of creating calligraphy becomes a way for the artists to reflect the world. Combining calligraphy with the unknowable dynamics of life force, the art of Yangjiang Group forges a unique style – I make calligraphy therefore I am. Known for their playful attacks on traditional calligraphy and attempts to subvert socio-cultural conventions and values, their works explore many different formats such as painting, multimedia installation, and performance and use materials such as wax, food and foam. Audience participation is a significant component of their work, ordinary events such as eating, tea drinking are vital to their convivial working process and cultivation of community-based exhibition experiences. Elements from everyday life - news talks, gambling, soccer games, discount sales etc.- give birth to a new approach of making calligraphy. Time and materials are transformed into a comprehensive situation by the fermentation of interaction with wine, tea, discourses and daily situations.
