獨(dú)立 互動行為 自由站立的人物、彈簧的木質(zhì)底座、軟的硬的球 2010

In China the piece Free Standing has been created in order for the audience to interact with the work throughout the duration of the exhibition. Free Standing raises issues such as rage, punishment, physical action, independence and the boundaries of audiences’ behaviour in art spaces.

“獨(dú)立”這件作品的展出就是為了讓觀眾能在持續(xù)的展覽中與表演有互動。“自由站立”要提出的問題就是憤怒、懲罰、人的生理活動和這些行為發(fā)生在藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域里的分界線。

Angry Drum， found drum with felt pen drawing， 2007

生氣的鼓 氈筆畫的鼓 2007

This drum is angry because it is constantly beaten. In the context of Ashery’s general art-practice, the scuffed sticker on the drum saying ‘Made in Syria', is a hint indicating her feelings regarding western attitudes towards the Arab world. Somewhere between the hand-made and the mass- produced. The drum is a low-fi object celebrating a reduced economy of production, evoking a nostalgic yearning for a sense of community and ritual.

這面鼓之所以憤怒是因?yàn)樗潜徊粩鄵舸虻膶ο螅v觀阿瑟瑞的整個藝術(shù)實(shí)踐，那個磨損了的標(biāo)簽上寫著的“敘利亞制造”暗示了她所感覺到的西方對于阿拉伯世界的態(tài)度。在手工制造與機(jī)械化生產(chǎn)之間，這面鼓是個低檔品，但它頌揚(yáng)了一種落后的經(jīng)濟(jì)生產(chǎn)，從而喚起了一種懷舊的情調(diào)，渴望著街坊鄰里與宗教儀式帶來的親近感。

The performance Raging Balls has been shown at Tate Modern, London, The Brooklyn Museum, NYC, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin, Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne, amongst other places.

“憤怒之球”這個互動行為表演在倫敦的泰特現(xiàn)代美術(shù)館、紐約的布魯克林博物館、柏林的Haus der Kulturen der Welt、洛桑的Musée cantonal des BeauxArts這些中展出。
