冬眠 日至
挑戰(zhàn)結(jié)果使然的瘋癲藝術(shù)界，真實(shí)呈現(xiàn)一位年輕藝術(shù)家的心路歷程，回歸藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作的原始目的與初衷，享受創(chuàng)作過程帶來的夢想，壓力，挑戰(zhàn)與激情。
北京都亞特畫廊即將舉辦的賈藹力個展“冬眠”，從2008年冬天延續(xù)到2009年春天，在畫廊空間向觀眾完整展示一件大型繪畫作品《世紀(jì)兒》（We are from the Century）的創(chuàng)作過程。
賈藹力的作品反映了他對生活直接的感知力，如同一部部圖繪的黑暗小說——美化或者詆毀著現(xiàn)實(shí)，沒有絲毫委婉或理想化的折中。將現(xiàn)實(shí)激進(jìn)化也是賈藹力常用的表現(xiàn)方式之一：污穢的場景中總有一個孤獨(dú)的個體，既與外界隔絕，也不表露心跡，他的臉永遠(yuǎn)在防毒面具的后面。
逐漸地，賈藹力在繪畫和其他形式的視覺藝術(shù)之間探索一種全新的路徑， 2008年9月“微妙”群展的作品就清晰地表明了這一趨勢。展廳的主墻面上是木炭繪制的他以往作品的局部元素，成為“畫中之畫”。右側(cè)墻面上是他在歐洲無意拍攝的一部Video，當(dāng)觀者進(jìn)入空間，他們變化的剪影超現(xiàn)實(shí)的重疊在熒幕的影像之上，成為作品最重要的一部分。之所以采用這種一次性、互動式的繪畫方式，賈藹力認(rèn)為，展覽結(jié)束后藝術(shù)品隨之銷毀，觀眾面臨著藝術(shù)品價(jià)值評估和藝術(shù)觀念的基本問題。
2008年的廣州三年展中，賈藹力的兩件作品再次展示了他的新藝術(shù)實(shí)驗(yàn)。他在一幅畫作前面散放著破碎的鏡子、鏡框和一只石膏腳，這些物體一方面?zhèn)鬟f出畫布上的圖景和其所描繪的現(xiàn)實(shí)之間的語義內(nèi)涵；另一方面，這種戲劇性的布置，將畫面錯亂的心理空間延伸到真實(shí)的展覽三維空間之中。線條的溢出，呈現(xiàn)出賈藹力所認(rèn)知的藝術(shù)世界里巨大的未知能量。
此次展覽項(xiàng)目“冬眠”， 可以被理解為賈藹力的跨界藝術(shù)的一種擴(kuò)展形式：這一次，他將超越裝置、表演或發(fā)生和繪畫之間的邊界，向人們展示一件藝術(shù)品完成的整個始末，這是一次破解藝術(shù)神秘性的沉悶旅程，一條創(chuàng)造力、快樂、痛苦與危險(xiǎn)并存的道路。沒有人知道四個月后那張巨大的畫布上將會出現(xiàn)什么。
展覽期間，賈藹力將展廳變?yōu)樗墓ぷ魇遥刻爝M(jìn)行創(chuàng)作。6×12米的畫布掩放在幕簾之后，《世紀(jì)兒》每一天的進(jìn)展與變化將被全程拍攝記錄。同時(shí)，作為另一種形式的藝術(shù)日志，展廳前有一個獨(dú)立的房間放置與這件大型作品相關(guān)的資料。在創(chuàng)作、生命進(jìn)程的平行關(guān)系中，觀眾得以看到畫布上的景象如何緩慢的真實(shí)呈現(xiàn)。

JIA AILI’S HIBERNATION
Project Title: JIA AILI’S HIBERNATION
Project Artwork: We Are From The Century
Project Website: www.20081114.net
Project Launching: 3:00 pm, Friday, Nov.14, 2008
Ongoing Throughout The Winter
Challenge the crazy art field which is dominated by the results. Truly display the young artist’s psychological growth.Return to the primitive purpose of art creation. The dream, pressure, challenge and passion in the creation process are more enjoyable than reaching the final destination..
“The Hibernation” in doART Beijing. What’s displayed in the gallery space is the creative process itself from winter 2008 to spring 2009. You’ll get to see the gradual birth of the artwork which he names “We Are from the Century.”
JIA AILI's works reflect the artist’s sensibility towards life, like painted novels – dark novels that poetically beautify or vilify reality without ever euphemizing or idealizing it. They rather radicalize reality: JIA AILI’s works show a dirty landscape with a solitary individual. He does neither communicate nor reveal his feelings, because his face is always hidden behind the gas mask. AILI is in a process of searching for a new means of depiction, which allows him to cross the border between painting and other forms of visual art. The group exhibition Subtlety in September 2008, in which the artist participated, clearly demonstrates this tendency. He drew with carbon pencil onto the wall in the exhibition hall. These drawings were pictures of his paintings: They became a picture within a picture. A video shot by himself randomly during his train trip to Europe last year was projected to the adjacent right wall. When visitors enter the projected space, their changing silhouettes will overlap on the screen in a super-realistic way, which constitutes the most important part of his work. The idea to adopt this kind of one-time and interactive painting derives from his thought that the exhibited piece of art would be destroyed after the exhibition. The visitors are confronted with such basic questions as the evaluation of artworks and art concept.
AILI’s new art experiment was also shown this year at the Guangzhou Triennial, in which he participated with two large-sized exhibits. He scattered objects like shattered mirrors, mirror frames and a plaster foot, in front of one painting. On the one hand these were semantic connotations between the reality painted on the canvas and the depicted reality. On the other hand it was a dramatic staging that expanded the painted disordered psychology into the real three-dimensional exhibition space. The lines exceeding the picture into the real space took on the immense energy of the forms and colors of JIA AILI’s painted world. The exhibition project HIBERNATION can be understood as an expanded form of his trans-border art: this time he will cross the border between installation, performance or happening and the painting, showcasing the complete creating process of an artwork, which represents a tedious journey to interpret the mystery of art, as well as a road tangled with creativity, joviality, agony and jeopardy. Nobody can hazard a guess what will be shown on the gigantic canvas in four months.
AILI will be working during the project period in the exhibition hall which is installed as his studio. The 6×12m canvas will be hidden behind a velvet curtain during the project, but the daily evolvement of “We Are from the Century” will be filmed and presented during the entire creating process. Meanwhile, in front of the exhibition hall, there is a separate room with information relating to the large-size painting placed as another form of AILI’s art log, so that the visitors may see how the painting gradually appear on the canvas though the parallel relations between the process of art creation and life.
