不期而遇

策展人：黃篤

這個(gè)展覽以“不期而遇”命名是指藝術(shù)家的作品在沒有約定的情況下意外相遇。那么，藝術(shù)家“不期而遇”的結(jié)果又是什么呢？顯然，這種“不期而遇”特指藝術(shù)家隋建國、王國鋒、史金淞、梁碩和邵康從各自的方法和觀念出發(fā)不約而同地聚集一堂的藝術(shù)狀態(tài)——有的藝術(shù)家的作品針對(duì)的是藝術(shù)本體問題，有的藝術(shù)家的作品則強(qiáng)調(diào)的是對(duì)社會(huì)學(xué)問題的解析，有的藝術(shù)家的作品是對(duì)日常生活的轉(zhuǎn)譯和放大，有的藝術(shù)家的作品則突出的是與現(xiàn)場的有機(jī)聯(lián)系。這里，藝術(shù)家的“不期而遇”突出和強(qiáng)調(diào)的是各自的主體意識(shí)——獨(dú)立性、創(chuàng)造性、個(gè)性化、顛覆性、非語境化。因此，對(duì)策展人而言，他在方法上盡可能減少或降低對(duì)藝術(shù)家的作品和現(xiàn)場的干預(yù)——既尊重藝術(shù)家個(gè)人的主觀性和自由發(fā)揮，又推崇他們的藝術(shù)價(jià)值和觀念意義。

在這一特定背景下，策展工作只不過是以“不期而遇”的觀念整合了藝術(shù)家的動(dòng)機(jī)和想法，最為重要的是“不期而遇”的藝術(shù)現(xiàn)象留給觀眾的是更多的思考和詰問……

UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER

Curator: Huang Du

“Unexpected Encounter”, refers to a group of artists and their works coming together by chance without prior arrangement. Obviously, it represents in particular the aesthetic states of the ways and concepts of such artists as Sui Jianguo, Wang Guofeng, Shi Jinsong, Liang Shuo and Shao Kang. The exhibited works concentrates on various aspects, such as the noumenon of art itself, the analysis of sociology, the translation and amplification of everyday life and emphasis on the organic connection between the work and the specific site. Here, the unexpected get-together of the artists stresses on their respective subjective consciousness -- independency, creativity, individuality, subversiveness and non-contextulization. Therefore, as a curator, I would refrain from interfering with the art works and the exhibition site as much as possible. This is a show to pay respect to the artists’ individual subjectivity and creativity whilst at the same time a show to commend their artistic values and the significance of their concepts.

Thus, with this special background, the task of curating only makes use of the concept of the “Unexpected Encounter” and integrates the motives and ideas of the artists. Most importantly, the artistic phenomenon of “Unexpected Encounter” leaves with the audience more reflection and cross-examination…...
