立场-Art Must Take Side

10. December 2018

此装置探索公众如何介入艺术 ,如何通过艺术表达明确艺术“立场”。 不同的政治语境缔造出截然不同的艺术表达方式。两位来自中国的艺术家,刚刚来到伦敦,经历完全不同的社会经济政治环境,在有感于东西方完全不同的艺术表达方式的同时,反思自身原有的艺术表达方式。 作品《立场》放置在展览馆的户外空间花园上,思考如何将艺术作品与这个已存在的公共空间产生联系,并赋予它一定的社会功能。作品中的文字暗示了对于既定规则的打破,蓝白颜色及相关的连接点也都有着文化隐喻。作品带有明显的个人文化背景与当地文化政治语境的冲突,对于艺术家如何介入社会的功能与作用,艺术家身份进行再思考。 这是一件合作作品,在观念主题的形成和制作过程中,艺术家始终思考各自在这个群体中的身份属性,并如何与集体联系。所有的讨论及创作都基于“立场”的表达,基于与公众的介入联系而发展。 观众可以在观看作品的同时,坐在装置椅上讨论背后的“文字墙”中的社会现象,在思考作品表达的同时,引发对于政治文化环境差异的反思。   Art must take side This installation explores how the public intervenes in art, and how to express artistic “position” through artistic expression. Different political contexts create very different art expressions. Two artists from China, who just arrived in London, experienced a completely different socio-economic and political environment compared to their home country. They self-reflect on their original way of artistic expression, while comparing…

莫依偎我, 我习于冷, 志于成冰, 莫依偎我 别走近我, 我正升焰, 万木俱焚, 别走近我 来拥抱我, 我自温馨, 自全清凉, 来拥抱我 你等待我, 我逝避临, 彼一如我, 彼一如我 Don’t cling on me, I get used to be cold, Coming from ice, Don’t cling on me.   Don’t get close to me, I am rising, Burning all wood, Don’t get close to me.   Come to hug me, I am warm, Cool all the way Come to hug me.   You wait for me, I am passing away, You just like me, I just like…

《遮蔽你的不只是双眼》 此件作品将《笙歌韶乐在其中》中的一件作品《笙歌韶乐在其中·菊》进行抽离与演变,将其进行倒置与并置与镜子之上,其作品自身在呈现出倒影幻觉的同时,镜子中的倒影更是让观众进一步理解“遮蔽你的不只是双眼”,而是作为日程经验的“意识”,正如法国艺术家让·迪比费所讲“人类将自己放在了经验积累的监狱里”,此件作品既是对于日常经验与意识的反思与解构。 Your Vision isn’t impeded Only By Eyes   2014  Mixed materials 100x100x80cm This series is derived from one piece of the series work: Beauty Inside – Chrysanthemum. It further develop the question that how our understanding and awareness shape our perception. I put two pieces of Beauty Inside – Chrysanthemum upside down in two boxes of glass, and separate them from a mirror. Audiences usually think the lower…

“人类对混乱感到恐怖至极, 通过搭建雨伞来区别自己与这愈发混乱的世界。他画雨伞的底部就像天上的苍穹,乱转,生活,并死于这把保护伞之下。死后留给他的子孙,这把伞成了一个圆顶,拱顶,直到人们最终开始觉得有什么东西不太对劲。” D.H. 劳伦斯 “In his terror of chaos, (man) begins by putting up an umbrella between himself and the everlasting chaos. Then he paints the underside of his umbrella like a firmament. Then he parades around, lives, and dies under his umbrella. Bequeathed to his descendants, the umbrella becomes a dome, a vault, and men at last begin to feel that something is wrong.” D.H. Lawrence   《秘密的表面》系列作品 意义总是与厚度相联系,这有意地将表面去意义化。人与事物如果缺乏复杂性与强度就会被认为是肤浅。《秘密的表面》系列作品颠覆这个逻辑,在这个并不尽如人意的世界,不将任何精神性的表征当作理所当然,而是将“表面”构想为认知和感受主体与对外部世界的位置。…

固定思维与成长型思维,你是哪一个? Fixed mindset vs growth mindset which one are you? 《秘密的表面》系列作品 意义总是与厚度相联系,这有意地将表面去意义化。人与事物如果缺乏复杂性与强度就会被认为是肤浅。《秘密的表面》系列作品颠覆这个逻辑,在这个并不尽如人意的世界,不将任何精神性的表征当作理所当然,而是将“表面”构想为认知和感受主体与对外部世界的位置。 《Secret Surface》 Meaning is associated with depth, which implicitly tends to devalue the surface; people and things lacking complexity and intensity are seen as superficial. SECRET SURFACE reverses this logic, and presents works that do not take any kind of spiritual afterworld for granted alongside unsatisfactory reality, but conceive of flatness as the location of experience itself, both…

   《Secret Surface-New Born》 Meaning is associated with depth, which implicitly tends to devalue the surface; people and things lacking complexity and intensity are seen as superficial. SECRET SURFACE reverses this logic, and presents works that do not take any kind of spiritual afterworld for granted alongside unsatisfactory reality, but conceive of flatness as the location of experience itself, both in terms of subjectivity and towards the outer world. “In…

This series of works tries to express the basic emotions that human all share, and explore the relationship between emotions, individual experience, collective unconscious and the form of materials. It comes up with a question that whether the audiences’ empathy can actually be provoked by the specific forms of materials with using “supernormal stimuli” (which psychiatrist Deirdre Barrett from Harvard University coined the term) or not, regardless of individual difference…

系列木雕作品以等比例女式内衣胸罩为创作题材,以木为材料进行创作。胸罩,是西方女权运动的象征,同样是当下男权社会女性处于被观赏位置的典型体现元素。“梅兰竹菊”被称为“傲、幽、坚、淡”的“花中四君子”品质。作品将当下日常生活用品与传统材料、传统文化相结合,呈现一种对日常经验的置换与反思。“笙歌韶乐在其中”一句选自诗经,意味美好的事物在里面,借以表达商品社会下女性被观赏的地位的内在隐喻与反讽。 Five types of flowers: the blossom of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum and lotus, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum symbolizing respectively pride,  dignity, serenity, strength and mildness as the five central types of gentleman’s characteristics in Chinese traditional culture. The combination of five kinds of “gentleman’s patterns” with lady’s bra and underwear represents woman’s position as being watched under the consumerism culture, and the ironic meaning of “Beauty Inside”.…
