Power

艺术家:葛雅静

2020.11.7 - 2020.12.6

当代政治社会构建在例外领域这个隐秘且“神圣”的地基上,在这个游离在俗世之外的特权空间里,至高权力规定着一切,却又不受其所制定的规则制约。

权的双重形式,在疫情/后疫情时代被格外清晰地展现出来。在权的压迫性和否定性向民众示弱之时,其生产性和肯定性“鼓舞”了大众。而在艺术家葛雅静的作品中,这种双重性被隐喻在画作中的“拳头”里。“听说大拇指向外或内收的区别就像狗在冲你呲牙或摇尾巴一样。” 她通过此种独特的艺术语言,感受着在当下不安的环境中,人们面对生命之脆弱的无力感。

突发的疫情所带来的危机感与焦虑感,任何人都无法逃避。对于至高权力而言,当代人作为潜在的,结构性上的“神圣人”,其神圣性在“生命对于一个掌控死亡的权力的臣服”中得到体现。 因而在葛雅静此次展出的作品中,一种原始的、慢性的且难以挣脱开的刺痛感隐藏在那些反复出现的被解构的拳、脚、牙齿、肉体等元素里。尤其是在「初见」和「2020」中,关于此次疫情的感官记忆通过对扭曲的身体与被解剖的肉体之描绘,以极具压迫感和包裹感的方式呈现出来。骨头(尤其是拳头)与肉在每件作品中不断地重现堆砌,人作为有机体被一一分解,这也正是阿甘本所说的“赤裸生命”在视觉上的当代诠释。

面对权/拳,艺术家的抗争不再“私密”,而是通过美学的播散进入大众视野。葛雅静的创作长期保持着质朴的气息,不论这个真实世界如何变化,艺术家选择保持原初。

“2020是灰黑色的一年,世界的荒诞恐怖片持续上演,人们也都被迫紧缩内收,全世界不同时间都按下暂停键以保卫生命,拳头有人理解为示威,反抗……而我只是想在工作中留住时间,留住生命的痕迹。”

已经无所谓反抗还是顺从,沉浸在葛雅静的作品中,随着生命体的被解构与再凝固,“权”也逐渐被消解。

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.

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 | 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 采访 | 郑江

“边界惊险但精彩,像绘制一个形象生动的轮廓线时一样充满诱惑力。我觉得创作过程本身就包含对艺术形式的思考,两者应该是一体、贴切的。”

ARCH 采访 | 周轶伦

周轶伦的作品本质上只指向物本身,观众如何去理解其作品取决于一个时代所赋予大众的经验与记忆。“我喜欢试验失败,每次失败的剩余痕迹都是完美的新作品局部。”

ARCH 采访 | 薛若哲

“绘画没有办法不诚恳,这是一种无法伪装的媒介。我对绘画的诚恳和机械的、拾得的图像产生的化学反应感兴趣,尤其是当网络图像和铜板线腐蚀这种必须要经过转化才能成型的绘制方式相遇,就形成了有意思的关系。”
