遊動している間に
“游动的之间”,是我的第一次个展。
这个题目源于玻璃本身的物质状态。玻璃分子的排列在空间中近似于液体,而同时玻璃像固体一样保持特定的外形,不会像液体随重力作用而流动,是一种介乎于固态与液态之间的物质。
生活中使我感受到“游动的存在”的瞬间同样使我着迷。返潮时地板、墙壁沁出的水珠;久静产生的耳鸣;大街上鼎沸的人声;过去的日记本;房梁垂下的蜘蛛丝......
我想,所谓“游动的存在”——存在与不存在之间的实质其实是存在而不易察觉,而艺术的价值之一可能是扩张日常中的习以为常,使人从无意识到意识到。
展览由两个部分构成,从《戴玻璃头罩的人》(2018)到《人间洗衣房》(2019-2020)再到研究科时期的《未果》(2020-2021),有人对我的印象是一直在做“批判艺术”。新作品《先挣钱了再做艺术》,就是延续了这部分的创造思路。
另一部分,和我从日本到景德镇之后生活、心态上发生的转变有关,扩展了以前在作品中比较少出现的更情绪化、更材料表现的作品。包括早先在2020年制作的《情书》,2019年的《给建筑物出一点汗》、以及最新的《融化》、《黑镜》、《碎片》。
"Between Fluidity," is my first solo exhibition.
The title derives from the material state of glass itself. The arrangement of glass molecules in space is similar to that of a liquid, yet glass maintains a specific shape like a solid and does not flow under the influence of gravity. It is a substance that exists between the solid and liquid states.
Moments in life that make me feel the "existence of fluidity" also fascinate me. Water droplets seeping from floors and walls during humid weather; the tinnitus that arises from prolonged silence; the bustling sounds on a busy street; old diaries; spider silk hanging from the beams...
I think that the essence of the so-called "existence of fluidity"—the substance between existence and non-existence—is actually existing but not easily noticeable. One of the values of art might be to expand the ordinary, making people aware of what they previously overlooked, transitioning from unconsciousness to consciousness.
The exhibition consists of two parts. From "Someone with glass helmet" (2018) to "Human Laundry" (2019-2020) and to "Mika" during my graduate studies (2020-2021), some people have the impression that I have been consistently creating "critical art." The new work "Earn Money First, Then Make Art" continues this creative approach.
The other part relates to the changes in my life and mindset since moving from Japan to Jingdezhen, expanding on the more emotional and material expressive works that were less present in my previous creations. This includes "Love Letter" made earlier in 2020, "Make the Building Sweat a Little" from 2019, and the latest works "Melt," "Black Mirror," and "Fragments."
