Rao Weiyi Solo Exhibition: You Are Loved By the World
22 - 30 Jun 2024 世界爱你 “世界爱你”主要展出饶维懿近两年的新作，其主题不仅包含他希望建立的，与所有观者之间的情感交流，也是他对生命的领悟。近年来的世界并不很太平，在各个领域都有可见的冲突与矛盾，人们常常被各种焦虑与不安包围，并萌生对人类世界的怀疑。饶维懿对此有自己的表达。他的作品里常常出现独处的人，或者安静地与动物或伙伴两两相对的人；或许每个人心中都有一个安静的角落，而那里则保留着最自然，最初始的情感。这情感有时并不直白，而是需要在沉思中怀疑，感受和发现。 饶维懿的作品展现出成熟而自然的笔法，以及细腻且毫不张扬的技术。他以深邃而简洁的色彩，营造出内敛安静的氛围。画面时常带有超现实的情景，但这些情景都以平实的，毫无戏剧冲突的方式呈现，就像娓娓道来的独白，没有任何说服性的力量，却让人以共情的方式身临其境，进入冥思的场域。因此，千高原艺术空间邀请观众们来到现场，共同体验饶维懿带来的心灵世界之旅。 学术主持：许晟 You are loved by the world You Are Loved by the World is an exhibition of Rao's latest works in the past two years, the theme of which not only includes the emotional communication he wishes to establish with all the audience, but also his understanding...

Into the Immensity of the Cosmos: Wang Shaoqiang's Solo Exhibition
17 Jul - 31 Aug 2023 仰观与俯察 ——王绍强艺术的观看方法与语言逻辑 王绍强的艺术实验与探索，肇始于上个世纪九十年代以来中国文化艺术界 “文化寻根”热潮的余波。当时的中国当代水墨艺术发展，既要回应自“五四”新文化运动以来文化民族主义的身份诉求；又要面对当代艺术普世化与全球化的所谓“当代性”压迫，进退维谷，处境异常尴尬。标榜传统笔墨的新文人画与急于进入当代的抽象水墨，可以被视为当时艺术思潮和创作的两个典型案例。基于对中国文化传统的热爱和信心，王绍强独具慧眼，逆流而动，观有品无，以一种打通中西古今艺术的胸怀和观今见古的文化立场，借鉴西方现代科学精神的利器，对中国水墨艺术、特别宋以后的文人画传统进行了系统的研究和反思，并在水墨艺术与地理学、地质学、人类学、考古学等学科的跨界互动和交融中，以当代艺术的视野从媒材、物理和制作性等维度，对传统进行了富于创造力和想象力的重构，发展出一套独特的视觉语言逻辑和艺术观看的工作方法。在王绍强的探索中，水墨文化传统的延续和激变在当下现实中构成了富有张力的两极。艺术家对世界的“观看”，也通过“仰观”与“俯察”的宇宙漫游，由神话进入历史，从仙境落入人间。 王绍强的艺术，把 “俯仰”观看模式及其所产生的人生体验理想化为人生之至乐境界，也是其艺术心灵的物性表现。也就是说，王绍强艺术的“俯仰”观看模式、方法与语言逻辑所开创的日常生活方式，本身就就是一种艺术的物性表现。这是由“俯仰”模式所创造或形塑出来的自由心灵的挥洒方式，其作品不过是这种“俯仰”方法、模式的象征形式与物性符号，心手相应，无法而有法，天马行空，心与物游而不滞于物，这是心灵自由的表现，也是宇宙万物的法则与秩序。以心观物，以身观心，王绍强的艺术正在慢慢的通过或接近这样的自然法则和宇宙秩序。 策展人：管郁达 2023.7.1 Into the Immensity of the Cosmos - Artistic Methods of Viewing and Linguistic Logic of Wang Shaoqiang's Art Wang Shaoqiang's art experiments and explorations began in the 1990s with the aftermath of the ‘cultural root-seeking’ craze in the Chinese art world.

（2015-2018）
文本一 左靖
另一种可能：乡镇建设
与乡村建设的对象是农村不同的是，乡镇建设的对象在这里指的是非县治（县城）所在地的乡、镇。它们构成了数量极其庞大的中国传统行政管理架构的末端。按照费孝通的说法，（他称之为小城镇）就是“一种比农村社区高一层次的社会实体的存在”。但费先生的考察对象大概多为江南一带经济比较发达的乡镇，对于地处偏僻的黔东南而言，这里的乡、镇恐怕只是一定区域范围内——大致包括十几个行政村的行政中心，除了数量有限的行政人口，以及少量从事非农经营的人口外，大部分人口仍在从事农业生产。由于经济欠发达，这里的乡镇面貌呈现的更多是一种接近于农村的景观，只是在乡、镇政府所在区域，除了保持乡镇建制所必须拥有的空间布局外，尚有一些缺乏规划的商业空间和其他消费空间混杂其间，同时，由于缺乏竞争力以及新型小经济形态的不断出现，产业或消费空间的转移和消失遗留下一定数量的废旧空间，构成了这一带乡镇特有的粗砺肌理。
在明显缺乏特色和吸引力的乡镇建筑风貌之外，幸运的是，作为中国传统村落最为密集的地区，黔东南一带拥有极为丰富的自然生态资源和乡土文化资源（包括物质和非物质文化遗产），加上多年的生态博物馆实践所打下的坚实基础，这些条件让我们可以跳脱目前国内时髦的乡村建设风潮，思考另一种可能：乡镇建设。
我们前期的工作包括，分批次邀请国内外建筑师、设计师、艺术家逐步改造乡镇闲置的国有资产，分期建设一系列的文化艺术空间和服务设施，包括艺术中心、民艺中心、书店、旅店等等，通过开创一种混杂的文化经济模式，使外来的资源在此集中和生发，同时，当地的资源不再流失或者外溢。把内（在地的资源）与外（艺术设计和商业模式）两个方面勾连起来，使乡镇的文化和商业功能足够强大，以便向周边村寨辐射。村寨有条件地接受适度的观光需求，不承载过度的旅游开发，最终使乡镇成为物质生产和消费、文化生产和消费的目的地。
我们认为，乡镇建设的真正用意在于，通过合理规划和发展村寨集体经济，严格控制不良资本进村，保护好村寨的自然生态和社区文脉，以及乡土文化的承袭与言传。在此基础上，可以考虑发展可持续的艺术形式，比如与在地文化相关的公共艺术等。经过若干年的努力，实现传统村落、生态博物馆、创意乡村（民艺中心）和公共艺术的价值叠加，带动当地的文化和经济发展。
茅贡计划的实施我把它总结为三个生产：
一、空间生产
作为茅贡计划之“空间生产”的开端，由梁井宇领衔的场域建筑设计，几座位于308省道边的闲置资产将经过改造，成为乡镇新的文化载体投入到使用中。粮库和周边旧建筑将通过屋面翻修及室内改造，整理为以公共艺术研讨、地方手工艺和农产品展示为主的文化艺术空间，包括展厅、书店、创客中心、艺术家工作站、导览中心、文创、茶室、餐饮等附属设施。外部采用当地传统做法及材料围合建造一条分隔喧闹的公路与安静的展厅之间的廊道，将现有室外空间划为三个大小、形状、使用目地不同的院落。旧粮库将修护、保留大部分旧墙面。新的搭建工艺和材料就地取材，但在某些屋面做法上对传统做法进行了改良。
二、文化生产
文化生产将首先围绕茅贡镇所辖范围的自然资源和人文资源展开，邀请本地学者、村民与外来的艺术家、设计师和人文学者分工协作，以调研、出版和展览等形式，深入探究和梳理在地文化，利用当代媒介和传播手段，既使本地民众通过大家的工作重新认识自己的社区，又让外来者得以系统了解在地文化从而展开研究，并在此基础上教育和培训当地青年人，吸引他们共同参与建设。目前正在进行的项目，包括米展（对应当地的全球重要农业文化遗产—侗乡稻鱼鸭复合系统）、地扪书院系列出版物（村寨系列丛书、《茅贡》杂志书等）和艺术家为本地定制的艺术作品（本地题材以及利用废旧建筑和户外创作的公共艺术作品）等。
三、产品生产
产品生产是茅贡计划的重要环节，也是使这一项目可持续的基本条件。在长达10年的时间里，在此耕耘的地扪生态博物馆构建了一个让乡村和城市可以共享自然馈赠的系统，恢复并建立了农村家庭与城市家庭互信互惠的生产／消费的关系，扶持并创建当地人的经济体——社区生态产业合作社。村民以生产小组或家庭作坊的形式加盟，生态博物馆提供培训支持和品质监控，社区生态产业合作社负责组织生产和加工，创意乡村联盟负责产品研发及设计推广。整个系统在增强集体经济活力的同时，提高了村民的收入，带动了当地经济的发展。
项目地位于贵州省苗族侗族自治州黎平县茅贡镇。
茅贡计划发起单位：

贵州省黎平县地扪侗族人文生态博物馆
发起人：左靖 任和昕
文本二 陈国栋
茅贡乡创小镇位于中国贵州省黔东南苗族侗族自治州黎平县境内，以“引领传统乡村走向创意乡村”为核心思想，为探索新乡镇建设的另外一种可能性。发启“创意乡村-新上山下乡行动”，由一群80、90后为核心的“城市创意阶层”投身参与，倡导“中国人的新乡居生活方式”，主张“发现乡村价值、重估乡村价值、输出乡村价值、重拾乡村精神”，促进“城市”与“乡村”良性互动和价值联结。
無名营造社自2017年落户茅贡镇，投身参与茅贡镇规划与保护发展的实践工作，并主持了系列新木构建筑营造和历史空间再生工作。秉承以“挖掘在地民俗建筑营造智慧，传承并实践新乡土建筑营造的可能性”的工作理念，与在地默默无闻的乡村营造人士（村民、木匠师傅）共同劳作，尊重在地的营造智慧和营造习惯，重新评估乡土建筑营造的价值，为探索适应茅贡镇的新木构建筑空间形态的可能性而实践。
無名营造社在茅贡乡创小镇发展理念的背景之下，先后建成系列乡土建筑作品：茅贡乡创学院|会场、茅贡接待中心|书屋、茅贡木屋酒店等。关注在地传统木构建筑的构造以及其便捷的组装式搭建营造形式，传承其优良的营造智慧，致力于创造新的空间机能，重构乡土建筑的空间精神。以满足茅贡乡创小镇吸纳众多城市创意青年阶层“返乡”，搭建外来城市“新乡民”和本土乡民共同对话的空间平台，构建适应于当代乡镇发展的新乡土建筑营造。
编后左靖
这是一个急就章的展览。2015-2018年，对从事乡村工作的我来说，有一个很大的转型，无论是地点，还是方法，甚至是心态，都较之2011年落地碧山时有了巨大的变化。其中，茅贡计划对我而言具有特别重要的意义。2016年5月，茅贡计划受邀参展第15届威尼斯建筑双年展中国国家馆，随后粮库艺术中心落成，并举办了两场展览；直到2017年8月，我们收拾完杂乱的镇供销社，做完米展，我不会想到，这可能是我最后一次在茅贡工作。
在米展的前言里，我曾乐观的写道，“经过近两年的工作，一个充满生机的乡创小镇已经渐显雏形。如今穿镇而过的302省道黎榕公路连接着粮库艺术中心、乡创孵化中心、百村百工中心、百村文化中心，以及正在建设中的木构工场等。这些作为茅贡镇新节点的公共空间正在陆续落成，寄寓其中的文化和产品的生产也在逐一发生，这一切看似碎片，但我们依然感受到未来可能具有的巨大能量”。
再随后，一群80、90后的后生来到了茅贡，发起了“创意乡村-新上山下乡行动”。在留下了自己的建筑痕迹后，这个行动的发起人陈国栋也于今年4月离开了茅贡。目前茅贡的运营方是仁民善作，据公号介绍，他们计划在茅贡创建农村可持续生态的经济微型系统和城乡多元对话社群，并组建在地团队SMART VILLAGE来运营管理。
祝福茅贡。

Slow
22 Jul - 22 Sep 2017 “SLOW” Preface
Zhai Liang is an excellent storytelling artist. The object in his stories are special, such as the story of “Text”, the story of “Logic”, the story of “Narrative”, and so on. These stories are then transformed into paintings and 3-D works, pulling the audience into a field of thoughts.
Living in a rapic society, “SLOW”, the diametrically opposite way, acts as a reference for Zhai’s art. In arts and literature, “SLOW” exists in an indistinct way. Throughout history, the spiraling and forward process of times seems to be slow. Or, perhaps “SLOW” is only a yearning for idyllic family life against this rapidly changing society? His solo exhibiton is based on this clue.
In his new works, Zhai made some important shifts in his methodology of painting, where he strove to make direct association between “SLOW”and visual perception. Each detailed process of his creation acts as the reflection of his exploration in “SLOW”, is indeed a kind of practice in action. Perhaps, the edge of his works and the border of artist’s inner world are the same thing but in different dimensions? Read more -
Xing’an West Art Group
22 Jul - 22 Sep 2017 In 1938, four young people Jin Yusong, Sakai Kaori, Mu yishao and Shangguan Yanqiu, from China and Japan formed an art group beyond the war boundaries, named Xing’an West Art Group. Among them, Jin and Shangguan were in fact intelligence agencies from the communist party. The complexities of their identities added a sense of legendary.
This exhibition exposes their art works, rules of group, photos and even tools for secret communications of intelligence. Why can they be revealed? The truth is, the group, and all the stories and documents as well as their works, are all made up by the contemporary artist Liu Chuanhong.
Although we know the truth, we still expect to see the group. This exhibition is a story that does not exist anymore in the strong and real time, in which the artist attempts to fight against histories with personal imaginations.

Fiction Landspace: Bi Rongrong solo exhibition
17 Dec 2016 - 28 Feb 2017 毕蓉蓉的 “小说景观”是一组由不同媒介的作品及其相互关系组成的整体，主要由编织，绘画，以及装置三部分构成。她以自己在世界不同城市的经历为基础，从视觉感受出发，在无数的景观中选择了一些抽象化的符号，例如一幅风景的细节，一个建筑的形状，或者大街上转瞬即逝的残像所留下的色块……她将这些符号当作中国古典山水画中的笔触：首先，和笔触一样，它们也能暗示出作者的内心感受，视觉节奏，以及最为重要的，生命体验的整体记忆在下笔的一瞬间所流露的痕迹。其次，在编织，绘画，和装置作品中，这些“笔触”并不像古典山水那样的直接描绘，而是经过了手工制作的转换。于是，由内在到形式的传递通道也发生了改变，才反映出在当下的生活和内心体验。最后，她也将城市景观当作自然风景去处理，这不是一种直接描绘山水的逃避，而是来自于对当下时代身份的接受——这种接受是真正理解古代山水画所代表的，自然智慧的基础和关键。最终，毕蓉蓉的作品所构成的整体，既是她个体经验的一次升华，也为这个时代提供了一种年轻的，却又与过去相连接的感知方式。 Read more -

17 Jan - 28 Mar 2015 熊宇的绘画一直以略带卡通风格的大眼睛形象为代表，表现了如孩童般纯净而充满想像的内心世界，以及画家作为成年人所面对的各种喜悦，忧伤，和困惑。在新作品里，这一形象被不断弱化，直至消失。最大的变化不仅是题材，还来自背景和肌理的处理。在新的场景中，熊宇引入了类似版画的作画技术，以及平面化的装饰纹理，让画面具备了特殊的斑驳感，凸显出视觉或思绪的凝结瞬间。 “蓝树林”这个题目，不但描绘了一个充满想像和思绪的内心世界，也来自画笔与视觉之间纠缠而迷人的互动关系。 在大约两年前于千高原举办的个展中，熊宇呈现出对欧洲古典绘画形式，尤其是构图的借用，寻求在新的框架中表露某些更具深度和共通性的情感。那些作品显然受到了古典戏剧的抒情结构的影响。在这批新作品里，他进行了不同的尝试，跳出了古典的框架，开始在更直接的视觉结构中寻求突破。在最近创作的作品中，一些直接的笔触和这些效果相融合，让画面具备了更丰富的层次。这样的效果让观者的视觉不断与情感相连接，并产生共鸣，让熊宇的作品和蕴藏其中的情绪变得空前可信。 这种效果被在名为 “No.3”的小幅作品里得到了更大限度的表达。一个形象模糊的人站在前景处，他的阴影制造出自身的实体感，并将画面的主体部分变成了一幅斑驳的壁画。这幅画的主体部分除了肌理的变化之外，也使用了比以往更多的直接画法。它不仅显现出熊宇对新的绘画模式的尝试，那个站在壁画前的形象，也像是画家本人在审视自己过去的作品。这也许预示着画家在未来的作品中会展现更多的可能性。在“记忆指南”和“菲特的小说”两幅画里，画家同样展示了与自己的画作之间的抽离感。我们也许可以认为，在他的这些新作品里呈现出的印刷质感，是画家对自己过去的情绪一种封存和告别。这样的猜测来自一些个人既有风格被进一步削弱的作品：例如在“No.1”和“No.2”两幅实际上也没有被命名的作品里，标志性的形象消失了，情绪透过笔触，肌理，色彩，和新的人物外貌被表现出来。对于以上这些尝试，最富有成果的作品就是名为“新世界”的三联画，这张作品打开了一个极富构思的空间，三部分均由近境的树枝，中景的水面和远景的树林构成，但通过色彩的对比，近处的景物显得非常疏远，而远景似乎更具真实感；三幅画面的构图有意错开，咋看之下空间不统一，却正好与远近错落的视觉相统一，它们构成了非写实的画面，实际上描绘的并非景物本身，而是画家的内心感受在视觉上的再现。 这也许只是他一系列更为大胆的，抛弃图像化风格的尝试的开始。对一个已经拥有成熟面貌的画家来说，这样的尝试是建立在深厚创作经验之上的，而且是更需要勇气并且值得不断期待的。 Read more -

Tao Hua Gu Xian Meng
24 Dec 2012 - 21 Jan 2013 小时候，刘传宏是一名数学 0分，作文满分的学生。后来，他迷上了画画，并受到严格的油画训练，这让他最终没有成为一名作家，却展现了用绘画编造故事的天赋。2003年，他前往河南林县的桃花洞村，变成了当地的一位山民，每天砍柴耕作，闲时画画，一住就是九年。这次展览的作品和日记，就来自他在那里的创作和生活。 “当代艺术”教会了艺术家如何使用理论，也给了艺术家无限的创作自由，但只剥夺了他们一样权利，就是创作那些难以引发理论的作品的权利。幸好，刘传宏还算保住了这个权利。关于理论，他的作品大概会引出如下关键词：山野生活，自然，人文，乡愁，桃花源，隐居，存在……虽然它们常常是空洞的，但仍然很“正确”，很有说服力。而且，如果稍微注意语调，悠扬的学术之音，就会彻底淹没那象征着强大的物质崇拜和异化的宗教信仰的圣诞夜的铃声，让那位具有国际主义精神的老人在好不容易到达中国之后，都根本没勇气降落在今夜千高原的屋顶。但刘传宏不担心这些，他不在乎那些词汇，他只在乎自己的故事，坏故事。他大概会请圣诞老人也过来听听，再带着忧郁和坏笑，指给他看西游记里的名媛和知识份子都是什么人，长什么样。说不定，许文强也混在展览的人群里，刘传宏能一眼就认出哪一个是他。 When Liu Chuanhong was young, he was a student with a zero in math, and a full mark in composition. Later, he was hooked on painting, and was trained strictly in oil painting, which displayed his talent in spinning yarns with painting, instead of making him an... Read more -
Form without time: He Gong
15 Dec 2012 - 20 Jan 2013 2012年12月15日下午4点，“无限的身体——何工近作”展在位于成都高新区的成都当代美术馆开幕。此次展览由成都当代美术馆馆长、艺术史学家吕澎策展，展出艺术家何工近年来创作的29组新作品，参展的作品包括25件架上绘画作品、2件装置作品、50块牛粪绘画作品和22件调色板绘画作品。艺术家何工的创作以宏大叙事和充满人文关怀为特色，作品中往往流露出一种知识分子的悲怆。本次展览所展出的新作品延续何工一贯的创作风格外，更增加了幽默与调侃的意味，将带给成都观众耳目一新的艺术体验。展览将从2012年12月15日持续到2013年1月20日，观众可凭有效证件免费领票观展。 何工， 1955年出生于中国重庆，1978年考入西南师范大学美术系，1985年获四川美术学院硕士学位，现为四川大学艺术学院教授、博士生导师。自1980年代初中国当代艺术肇始时期开始，何工即开始个人艺术实践活动，作品表现出对历史文化的反思和对人的当下生存状态的关注。1986年后，何工赴美国和加拿大学习，并在多所大学作访问艺术家和客座教授，其间广泛参加国际学术研讨和创作活动。在研究西方后现代艺术思潮的过程中，进行绘画、装置与观念艺术实践，表现了跨文化的感受与思考。本世纪初回国定居之后，何工的作品更趋于文化与哲理思辨的具象呈现，在恣意涂抹的画面中散发出强大的张力，而透过这种张力我们能够窥知到何工作为一个“有机知识分子”艺术家的质疑和对理想的追逐。 展览中的 20件架上绘画作品，延续了何工一贯的文化关怀与哲学思辨，流淌、跳跃的笔触显示出极大的视觉张力与震撼。“书与牛粪”系列是在50块压制成方块的牛粪上作画而成。画面多为何工随手拈来的日常阅读内容，以极富耐心的具象手法描绘手边的杂志或书籍。牛粪作为何工的创作媒材最早可追溯到1996年。当时何工到四川甘孜州支教，对当地牧民原生态的生活方式产生了兴趣。牛粪在当地作为一种燃料，牧民将其收集起来用于生火。何工在当地购买了一批牛粪运回工作室，并请高地的村民帮忙压制成方块，用这种牛粪方砖堆砌成一只巨大的路易威登包，将其中的一半牛粪表面涂抹奶酪，整个包的颜色便与路易威登的经典方格图案相一致。牛粪这种材料本身的隐喻性增强了作品的隐喻性和张力。此后，何工又以牛粪以媒材做了一系列的作品。此次展览中，何工希望在呈现那些强有力的表现性作品外，能够通过增加一些具有幽默感和亲和力的作品，在这种有些出人意表的质地中让观众感受到艺术所具有的魅力。 Read more -
Paitings 2012
24 Nov - 12 Dec 2012 极简主义的拥护者曾经断言：绘画已经死亡。文艺复兴时期的鉴赏家看到提香的绘画后也说：绘画已经死亡。古罗马时代的学者小普林尼 (Pliny the Younger)则略显涵蓄，他只说绘画已经堕落了。为何绘画会一再被宣布它的终结？因为它一直在延续。 在今天的艺术世界里，媒介代表立场的时代已经过去了，任何媒介都需要经受同样的考验。但仍然有许多人受着欧美八十年代艺术观的影响，将绘画看作是 “过时”的。实际上，这种说法也没有错，因为绘画从来就不是赶时髦的艺术；或者说，本身就没有赶时髦的艺术，只有赶时髦的观念。 在艺术的世界里，一直有好的作品和不那么好的作品；而在绘画的世界里，同样有好的绘画和不那么好的绘画。标准一直存在，却很难说清。历史似乎是可靠的标准，但历史本身就是含混不清的；理论似乎是可靠的标准，那只是对理论本身而言；人的感受似乎是可靠的标准，但要将感受传达给更多人，本身又变成了另一门艺术。在今天看来，价格也许是更可靠的标准，如果艺术变成了金钱游戏的话。 只有一点可以确定，好的作品从来不是为了迎合某种标准而生的，因为好的作品一定是骄傲的。好的艺术家也从来不理会任何标准，他们只会在成为标准之后，让迟来的赞美假装早有准备，然后再变得人尽皆知。所以艺术是一个危险的赌局，输掉的人会失去证明自己审美能力的机会，赢了的人会被迫让自己的私人享受社会主义化。 “绘画2012”,展示了一部分我们在2012年看到的新的绘画作品。这也许是我们能看到的，世界毁灭前的最后几批绘画之一了。其实，绘画的核心也与此有关，它无关未来的许诺，无关存在与得失，它只是用纯粹视觉的形式留存的精神。而受邀的艺术家，也正是在为这一点而努力探索着。另外，本次展览还强调了“年轻”，年轻是一种状态，年轻艺术家仍然对艺术抱有原初的好奇心。（许晟/文） The advocates of Minimalist have asserted: Paintings have died. After seeing Titian’s paintings, the Renaissance connoisseurs have also said: Paintings have died. The more subtle opinion was put forward by Pliny the Younger, the scholar in ancient Roman, who only said:... Read more -
Patagonia Wind—He Gong Solo Exhibition
17 Jun - 31 Jul 2012 何工，著名当代艺术家，1955年出生于中国重庆，1978年考入西南师范大学美术系，1985年获四川美术学院硕士学位，现为四川大学艺术学院教授、博士生导师。自1980年代初中国当代艺术肇始时期开始，何工即开始个人艺术实践活动，在硕士研究生期间即以油画《旧事依稀》、《巴赫的寓言》等作品表现出对历史文化的反思和对人的当下生存状态的关注。1986年后，何工赴美国和加拿大学习，并在多所大学作访问艺术家和客座教授，其间广泛参加国际学术研讨和创作活动。在研究西方后现代艺术思潮的过程中，进行绘画、装置与观念艺术实践，有装置作品《梦见方舟》、《这不是五月花号》、《后扬子豚方案》，油画《欧洲车站》系列、《通往布鲁克林的地下铁》等作品，表现了跨文化的感受与思考。本世纪初回国定居之后，何工的作品更趋于文化与哲理思辨的具象呈现，在恣意涂抹的画面中散发出强大的张力，而透过这种张力我们能够窥知到何工作为一个知识分子艺术家的质疑和对理想的追逐。正是这种对理想的追逐，在切-格瓦拉踏上摩托车之旅60周年之际，何工----又一个怀抱理想的逐梦者，重新踏上了巴塔哥尼亚高原的追风之旅。 He Gong, the famous contemporary artist, was born in 1955 in Chongqing, China.

The Flying Delusion——Xiong Yu Experimental Space
15 Apr - 5 Jun 2012 熊宇作为 70后备受关注的标志性艺术家,他有着学院古典绘画的背景,又深受当前流行文化的影响,作为70年代出生的人,他的文化经历充满了碰撞,这促成他打破社会现实的禁锢,通过超现实,虚幻的世界来构建属于自己的艺术语言。 在这次展览中熊宇扩展了绘画的形式和意义 , 他尝试将视觉的空间从二维空间延伸至三维空间, 每一个面都如此丰富且有可读性, 对于熊宇来讲艺术的魅力源于创造,将虚无飘渺的想法落实为真实的作品的过程就像是一场奇妙的探险.整个实验空间俨然是熊宇的一件完整的作品。 熊宇的作品图像并不存在于现实 ,而是源于现实的一种创造. 在熊宇的作品中关注社会现实与理想一直是一个重要的主题，作品中的人物背后的翅膀，弥漫的气流般的云彩，成群的飞鸟这些元素强调与突出了人类的信念，那双始终没有收起来的翅膀，则意味着人对于自由渴望的宿命心理。每个人都会有梦想，而梦想往往像隐形的翅膀一样存在于我们的心灵当中。而云、飞鸟，更是像人类的图腾一样被人们赋予不同的意义，同时也像人们愿望的影子一样，存在于我们的心中。 熊宇把整个实验空间转化成一道梦幻空间，以精湛绘画见著的他，经常在作品中表达这样的虚构空间，勾画出能让城市人暂时远离世俗的风景线。强烈的空间效果仿佛把人带进一个属于熊宇的独特的空间，而人形的雕塑则仿佛是来自不同内心世界的人物，艺术家试图通过绘画来赋予这些人物以现实的经历和生命。 Human thought is always changing. Everyday such-and-such things happens, life events always touch us. Things surround around me, let's call it inspiration. Facing them, I always want to lend a hand to seize them, let them into my works.... Read more -
The Garden of Forking Paths: Zhai Liang Solo Exhibition
24 Dec 2011 - 21 Jan 2012 创作说明 ——翟倞 魔幻与现实相结合，如同柯勒律治之花，尤为奇妙。 博尔赫斯的这篇小说《小径分岔的花园》就是以这样的现实的，历史的故事开始的。体裁上是一篇犯人的书面供词，主体情节发生在 1916年“一战”时期，主人公是个叫余准的中国人，他在英国的战区，却是个德国的间谍。他掌握了一个绝密信息：一个准备攻击德军的英国炮队的位置---法国小城艾伯特，显然这个信息对敌对的英国和德国都极为重要，要紧的是，他和上司正常的联络渠道已经中 断，而一个英国特工正在追杀他。他终于从电话簿上获得灵感，可以杀掉一个也叫艾伯特的人，这样被害人和余准的名字就会同时出现在报纸上，他爱看报的上司就会联想并得到信息。决意已定，他就出发去找这个艾伯特。当他找到这个人的花园时，惊奇地发现这个花园似曾相识，像是在中国儿时家里的花园，并且艾伯特是一位著名的汉学家，尤以研究他曾祖父彭冣两项伟业为重：一项是 比《红楼梦》还要复杂的小说，另一项是任何人进去都要迷路的花园。而那部《小径分岔的花园》小说手稿到了艾伯特的手中，经过反复的研究分析，他终于破解了小说的秘密。原来彭冣并没有建造一座真实的迷宫般的 “花园”，困扰几代人的所谓“花园”并不存在。而彭冣写的那部杂乱不堪的小说才是那个“花园”，它既是一个象征性的花园，也是一个巨大的寓言，揭示着时间的分岔性和相对性。同时整部小说像是一个谜语，谜底就是“时间”。这座小说迷宫都在探究着时间的可能性，而“时间”这个词从未出现，这正像谜语的谜底从不出现在谜面上一样 …他们越谈越投入，余准几乎忘了此行的目的了，这时他看到了那个英国特工已经进了花园，便拔出了手枪打死了无辜而可怜的艾伯特。最后，如他所愿，上司猜出了他的计谋，轰炸了英军的驻地—艾伯特。 小说遵循了侦探小说的方法，但是中间大部分的故事却是幻想虚构的小说模式，说它是幻想小说，故事的开端却是真实的史实（哈特的《欧洲战争史》等），这一点，又具有了历史小说的意味。每个类型的故事都可以套在其他故事的上面，如， “时间分岔，产生不同的可能性”，余准是间谍，艾伯特是汉学家，在共同的纽带“彭冣”的关系下，他们可以是朋友；在余准要报信的现实情况下，他们就变成了敌人 …..。 博尔赫斯小说另外的有趣之处也是很吸引我的地方是 “作品总是包含着某种宇宙模式或宇宙的某种属性（无限性，不可计数性，永恒的或现在的或周期性的时间）——卡尔维诺语”，他把幻想以及自己的宇宙模式化为了小说形式。 我的目的是在做关于这部小说的一系列视觉作品时，博尔赫斯的小说框架结构赋予了绘画作品一种魔幻式的，宇宙模式般的感觉，也意在塑造在一个表面严谨的视觉叙事结构里面有一个柔软的玄学内核。同时也自我实验视觉的确定性，和直接性能不能把里面的 “真实和幻想”概念，“时间”概念推得更远。 Read more -
FLOWER
28 Sep - 13 Nov 2011 千高原艺术空间荣幸的向您介绍 9月28日至11月13日举办的当代艺术展览《Flower 花儿》，展览包括陈秋林、何多苓、何工、计文于、蒋志、黎朗、罗发辉、漆澜、秦思源、申亮、沈小彤、施勇、石青、唐茂宏、熊宇、余极、肖克刚等30位艺术家的绘画、图片、装置、录像等形式作品近100件。 一直以来，花儿都是艺术家创作中常常触及的主题或者元素，尤其在当代艺术中，作为作品中的主题或者元素，花儿的所指空前的宽泛，正如在这个展览中我们看到的一样。在陈秋林的重要作品《花园》中，花儿也许代表一种中国高速而迅猛的城市化进程中人们的憧憬，当然这种憧憬常常被证明是有些虚幻的梦想；在诗意写实主义艺术家何多苓的作品《杂花写生》系列里，除了优雅的色彩和高超的技艺，我们可以感受到一丝忧郁；黎朗最为代表性的堪称经典的摄影作品《彝人的肖像》里，那些到城里去留下美好影像记忆的彝人们，总是会选择有美丽的鲜花的背景，甚至手上还要捧满花儿 ----虽然它们并不是真正的鲜花儿；玫瑰是艺术家罗发辉一直在绘画的对象，它们艳若桃李甚至有些溃烂腐败，但总是那么充满欲望；蒋志呈现给大家的新作其实是一组“情书”，美、痛、短暂和永恒、开放和萎缩、炽热和优雅、奉献、馈赠和牺牲，这一切都是关于爱，也是关于他的生活；申亮用纯正而富有张力的油画语言，为我们创造出富有中国特色的喜庆；施勇----生活在上海的新媒体艺术家，观念摄影《憧憬》完成于世纪之交的2000年，那个时候，我们确实对新世纪充满向往，几乎就像儿时向往共产主义一样----背景的东方明珠、金茂大厦、奢华的猩红色帷幔、漫天飘落的玫瑰，还有那些信心满满的心灵鸡汤似的励志语言……还有众多艺术家的作品，恕不一一赘述。 取名为 “Flower 花儿”，并无特别的所指和用意，只是因为这些艺术家的一些作品都涉及到花儿。明眼者并不难觉得这更接近“再现论”的思维。坦白说，我们策展的初衷也的确这么简单，就是打算选择一组与花有关的作品来呈现，至于是不是“再现”并未虑及，唯一想到的是如此反而或许会生成或开启一个进入问题的角度和视野。在这个意义上，是不是“再现”已经不重要的，即便承认“再现”，也不在于“再现”了什么，而是如何“再现”的。而此时，花儿也许是花，也许非花。“再现”也不是“再现”了。不是吗？！ We name the exhibition “Flower” with no specific representation or intention, but for the subjects of these artists’ paintings are all involved with “flowers”. Some may easily feel the curating is approaching to the conception of “reappearance theory”. Frankly speaking, our original... Read more -
Uninhibitied Scenery: Tu Hongtao and Qi Lan painting works exhibition
30 Jul - 20 Sep 2011 2011年7月30日下午，“任性的风景”当代绘画展在成都千高原艺术空间开幕。展览展示了两位中国著名当代艺术家漆澜和屠宏涛的绘画作品共20余幅。“风景”一词暗示着两位画家对绘画的视觉本质的回归；而“任性”则表明他们各自创作的独特性，以及对独立的文化人格的追求。漆澜原本是一名艺术批评家，对艺术理论进行了多年研究，对古今中外的绘画的发展与本质都有着深刻而独到的认识，如今“弃笔从画”，开始把理论认知和自己的创作体验结合在一起。屠宏涛近两年的绘画风格有了巨大的转变，在压力和挑战中，他用一种开放的生命态度，和一种严谨的研究精神，不断梳理绘画与自身的关系。对观众来说，一方面，他们二人的作品与艺术的发展和历史有着错综复杂的关系；但另一方面，欣赏他们的作品却并不需要艺术的专业知识，因为他们已经把所有的信息转换成了视觉，也就说，观众即便只用眼睛看，去经历一种难得的视觉体验，也已经足够了。 Read more -
