The artists participating in this exhibition each has their unique artistic language. Just as Duchamp mentioned that ‘the artist’s thoughts, actions and sensibility are infinite movements in different fields through time and variety ways’. As individuals, the spiritual characteristics of these artists are connected to  series of documents of artistic expression and creative practices, which related to the artist’s state of mind are directly related to social life and the external world.

The transformation of the concepts produce “determined creativity” which is opposed to “representational norm” – the object of art is the object of thought, the confirmation and consolidation of non-form and boundaries, “the work has its own clear proof” (The Aesthetic Unconscious). , Jacques Rancière, cp.03). When watching the works in IT’S A JOKE, it’s like being submerged in a resonance-like energy field.

The exhibition space becomes the field of thoughts, what separates the viewer and the artist is not art theory – the conflicts and contradictions conveyed by the artist’s every action and brushstroke – there isn any “non-thinking” details are unimportant and irrelevant. Every expression carries a meaning of the whole work.

Where the eye falls, all the “visible” things we see is the same present moment as the artist, rather than the memory and recollection of past patterns. 

The unique structure and secret operation in the human mind, the tension between the pictures and the words between the actions bring the feeling of being in it, far beyond the sense of subordination to the usual form.

ARCH REVIEW | Guo Yujian :Dangerous Complicitiy

When looking at Guo Yujian’s works, what have been depicted is always in a state of flow, and the secret words that are related to each other become images that avoid us and approach us. The work that takes shape on the canvas in our sight is yet to come, in transition, about to embrace change, and it will not push us away until the feeling is fulfil.

ARCH REVIEW | Making Complicity

When the painting is really close to us, the first thing that appears to our eyes is this Le cimetière marin[1] written by Valéry in 1922. The curators Hu Yihang and Zhang Tingzhi, together with artist Guo Yujian, divided the exhibition “Dangerous Complicity” in the gallery into three chapters with words and symbols: imagination, a plateau, and a theatre.

ARCH REVIEW | Gaze in the Dim Glow

“The Task of Alchemy”, Pocono Zhao Yu’s solo exhibition at Arch Gallery, presents a subtle sense of time traveling. As the title of the exhibition alludes to, it is as if the smelting and mysterious deeds of some spiritual objects. Within the whisper that fluttering outside of time, this enormous task is under the invisible dome of time.

豆豆也是拳拳

1985年在北京中国美术馆举办的《劳申伯格艺术展》让中国人近距离地看到了“后现代艺术”的形态,这些展品让中国观众目瞪口呆:山羊的标本,汽车的轮胎,废弃的地毯组成了前所未见的图腾。在展览期间,保洁员差一点把作品误作是垃圾清理。

ARCH 采访 | 梁浩

「IT’S A JOKE别太当回事,儿」是ARCH GALLERY拱形画廊策划的首个群展。展览从时间和空间两个维度探寻了艺术家在各自创作过程中所使用的不同方法观念。为了让大家更进一步地了解艺术家的创作理念,ARCH CHANNEL此番专访梁浩。

ARCH REVIEW | 制造共犯

当画作真切地逼近我们双眼,首先出现的是这首瓦雷里1922年所写的《海滨墓园》。机构策展人胡奕航、张汀芷与艺术家郭宇剑一起,将这次拱形画廊名为《危险同谋》的展览,用文字或符号分成了几大篇章:臆想、一座高原、剧场。许是有意为之,又或是无心之举,开篇选取的这段文字,饱含着诗人瓦雷里对家乡赛特港的深沉眷念。
