一起画廊欣然宣布将于3月9日推出群展「假日」,本次展览将呈现王奇奇、王喆坤、卫俊、张蕾四位艺术家近两年以来的十余件作品。
Together Gallery is pleased to announce the launch of the group exhibition “Holiday” On March 9th, which will present more than ten works by four artists from the past two years.
作为日常生活以外的“例外状态”,假期往往带有特殊意义,在这里,个体得以从社会角色中短暂抽离,转而回归私人领域:与亲密关系、记忆,自我展开联结。
Holiday often carry a special significance as a “state of exception” from everyday life, where the individual is able to withdraw briefly from social roles and return to the private sphere: to connect with intimacy, memory, and the self.
假期如同记忆的星丛,让感官与体验得以释放,这些非连续、碎片化的瞬间,因脱离了日常的功利而获得持久的重量。亲密关系也在此刻亦被重新赋形,个体回归到生活中,真实的关系得以显现。
Holiday are like starry clusters of memories, releasing sensations and experiences, discontinuous, fragmented moments that gain lasting weight because they are removed from the utilitarian aspects of everyday life. Intimacy is also re-embodied at this moment, as individuals return to their lives and real relationships are revealed.
假期作为日常生活的休止符,它中断了“沉沦于日常”的状态,为人提供了直面存在本质的契机。
As a break from daily life, the vacation interrupts the state of “sinking into the everyday” and provides an opportunity to face the essence of existence.
本次展览将通过4位艺术家的作品,来展开“假日”这一意指:王喆坤的作品以“俄狄浦斯情结”为出发点,通过个人的视角呈现了中国式家庭关系的复杂性,这些图像包含了隐藏、追逐、窥探、拉扯等主题, 王喆坤通过叙事的方法描述了家庭关系中的紧张感。This exhibition will unfold the meaning of “Holiday” through the works of four artists: Wang Zhekun's works take “Oedipus Complex” as a starting point, presenting the complexity of Chinese family relationships through his personal perspective. These images contain themes of hiding, chasing, snooping, pulling, etc. Wang Chekun describes the tension in family relationships through a narrative approach.王奇奇的创作常常以单纯肉身体验与现实问题作为入口,并尝试寻找现实世界与纯粹绘画语言之间的平衡。王奇奇对于绘画语言本身的思考也是他创作的基础:通过最基本的线条、色块与符号来呈现绘画与生活之间的相互作用力。Wang Qiqi's creations often use purely physical experiences and real problems as an entry point, and he tries to find a balance between the real world and the pure language of painting. Wang Qiqi's thinking about the language of painting itself is also the basis of his creations: through the most basic lines, color blocks and symbols, he presents the interaction between painting and life.卫俊和张蕾的作品则取材于日常,卫俊的作品以图像来生成新的图像,展开阐述一个新的美学世界,他擅长以特写的方式来尝试变造生活中来源复杂的图像。Wei Jun and Zhang Lei's works are based on daily life. Wei Jun's works use images to generate new images and elaborate a new aesthetic world, and he specializes in close-ups to try to create complex images of life's sources.张蕾的作品则取材于真实生活,捕捉生活中真实片段,摸索非日常的罅隙,以期寻求生活延续的锚点。Zhang Lei's works, on the other hand, are based on real life, capturing real moments of life and exploring the gaps of the non-everyday, in order to seek an anchor point for the continuation of life.
