展览介绍
香格纳上海荣幸呈献施勇个展《向内,直至消失》,本次展览为艺术家施勇在画廊举行的第三次个展。施勇一直追求艺术创作本身的实验性,突出表现在他对于文字、语词、文本和观念的思辨使用。以此为灵感,他创作了大量在国内外艺术界具有影响力的作品。该展览将呈现施勇一系列新创作的观念雕塑和装置作品,彰显他在文本和材料创作上取得的新的突破。
施勇被称为简洁大师。他的作品是一种简洁写作的诗学,具有鲜明的风格,极具辨识力。多年来,他坚持把极其丰富的观念和造型魅力浓缩在作品之中:施勇推崇简明的形式,而非繁冗;推崇内容的可触摸性,而非不及物的无病呻吟。
2020年Covid-19疫情暴发以来,整个世界陷入封闭和区隔。在施勇看来,封闭的内部不再能被看清,如同迷宫一般,并且在每一个封闭的内部都充斥着个体被系统中各种力拉扯和形塑的事实。本次展览因此可以看作是他受到外界环境变化和刺激之后产生的某种“应激反应”,以及个人对于这种“应激反应”的再消化和再处理。迷宫这个意象不只是作为一种叙事法——如同侦探小说——存在,更是施勇刻意模糊化处理自己的思考和表述的结果。展览标题“向内,直至消失”既是对于作品形式的总结,又是其对于现实状况的提炼和隐喻。
ShanghART Shanghai is delighted to present Shi Yong’s solo exhibition, "Turning Inward, Until Disappearing". This exhibition is the 3rd solo exhibition of the artist in ShanghART gallery. Shi Yong has always been pursuing the experimentation in artistic creation, which is prominently manifested in his speculative use of Chinese characters, words, texts, and concepts. With this inspiration, he created a large number of works that have been influential both in the national and global art world. The exhibition will present his new series of conceptual sculptures and installations, highlighting his breakthroughs in text and material.
Shi Yong is known as the master of simplicity. His work is a poetics of concise writing, with a distinctive style and inimitable recognition. Over the years, he has insisted on condensing the extremely rich concept and plastic appeal into his works: Shi Yong values concise form rather than tediousness, and prizes touchability of the content rather than meaningless correct words.
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic in 2020, the entire world has become closed and compartmentalised. In Shi Yong's view, the enclosed interior can no longer be seen clearly, like a labyrinth, and each closed interior is filled with the fact that individuals are pulled and shaped by various forces in the system. This exhibition can thus be seen as a certain kind of "stress response" to the changes and stimuli of the external environment, as well as a personal redigestion and reprocessing of this "stress response". The imagery of the labyrinth not only exists as a narrative method – just like a detective novel – but also the result of Shi Yong's deliberately obfuscating his thinking and expression. The title of the exhibition "Turning Inward, Until Disappearing" is both a summary of the form of the work and a refinement and metaphor for the reality. ... 展开
