Child Palace,是由中文直译而来的词组,意为“womb/子宫”。让我产生共鸣的,不单是这个单词的书面含义,更重要的是她从概念上反映了这个被日益强化的全球化商业强权所误导的世界。政府和大型集团从未掩饰其新殖民主义的意图——通过强大的经济及政治来制约发展中国家。他们从来不曾解决独立的人类天性,环境问题,独裁政治或社会健康等问题。他们无视其“新自由主义经济”意识形态对大多数群众在文化、交流、环境以及民主层面的破坏,其对于稳定性的正面讴歌和对自由的承诺默许了毫无节制的建设,削弱了广大群众对于独立经济以及民主权利的掌控,逐渐分化出一个被保护的且拥有特权的精英阶层。他们正在试图建造一个貌似舒适的由强制性格子,工业化材料,塑料环境组成的“精英社会”的“子宫”。
Child Palace 是对这些人工的塑料环境以及随之而来的污染所进行的探索。

Monika Lin的作品以聚合树脂碎片拼接并使用特殊技法描绘而成,其特有的光泽在灯光下如贝母般变幻莫测;蓝图,路径,生物,巨型花朵,绚丽的色彩塑造出一个物质充足却四面楚歌的丛林,而人们又不得不生存于其中。

作为ART LABOR画廊为数不多的主题严肃的展览之一,Child Palace 同样拥有ART LABOR的个性标签:独树一帜,这种与众不同是饱受金融风暴影响的艺术市场大环境下最不容错过的重要特质。

如果你也有同样的感受,请选择一个明媚的午后来到ART LABOR画廊。我们期待着与你一起在Monika Lin的作品中体验艺术的无声力量。

Child Palace, or “Zigong” comes from the Mandarin characters which make up the word "womb." The characters resonated with me not only for their lyric quality, but as being conceptually aligned with the ever growing global corporatocracy as creating a sort of misguided playland. This international community headed by large corporations and powerful governments has thinly veiled neocolonialist intentions, imposing its economic and political policies on developing countires. It has, as yet, been unable to reconcile individual human needs, environmental issues, autocracy and societal health with its practices. It has ignored the effects of its “neoliberal economics” ideology on the majority of populations resulting in the destruction of cultures, communities, environments, and democracies. Facades of stability and promises of independence have allowed for unrestrained construction, loss of individual economic and political power, and the creation of an elite, protected class. This elite class exists in a construct separate from the vast majority, increasingly comfortable in an imposed landscape of grids, manufactured substances, and plastic environments. Child Palace is an exploration of these plastic environments and subsequent pollution.

With Layers of Epoxy resin with Polymer paint on board, Blueprints, pathways, biomorphic forms, giant flowers, and intense colors create a jungle surrounding, supporting and threatening to oppress the human forms working and playing within.
