“应物象形”媒体新闻稿
展览:2011年4月27日至6月15日
策展人:楠楠Nancy Nan
北京艺莱空间非常荣幸地举办年轻艺术家高蓉、李洪波、王雷作品展——“应物象形” 。
三位年轻艺术家分别运用编织,刺绣,剪纸等传统精湛的手工艺,探索日常事物的材质和形式,表达对当代中国百姓生活的深切关注。
高蓉的作品从个人生活体验出发。她运用既出于兴趣与感情,同时又能够掌控的布料为材料、刺绣艺术为语言,将传统手工艺术与观念艺术相结合,为我们“还原”出一个“似家非家,看似破旧却也温暖”(高蓉)的生存空间。尽管它只是一个代表,并不大,但是确是八零后这代人中很多人都会有的体验。
李洪波的作品来源于儿时常玩的“纸葫芦”:一沓薄薄的纸竟能变化出各种迥异不同的形态,这样的视觉冲击让艺术家看到了纸质形式语言的另一种可能,从具象到抽象,从有形到无形,从规范到自由,抑或反之。在新近的纸质雕塑作品里,他将纸质材料折叠并组合成为具有奇异感觉和强大视觉冲击的空间装置。纸张的连续性成了语言表达的重要元素,它的聚散、起伏、转折为我们呈现了一组不可预知的画面。评论家殷双喜写道,对于李洪波这样的艺术家来说,具有挑战性的问题不是对于纸的运用的技术,而是对于纸的运用的文化视野, 即回到纸的原始意义。
王雷也是使用纸质媒介为创作材料的艺术家。早期的装置艺术作品是由卫生纸编织的时尚服装组成,简练而纯粹,有“一种纯洁的诗意般的感觉” (黄安达),而报纸编织成的汉代贵族服装,和由中国大辞典编制的清朝的“龙袍”,也都表明着王雷的对纸质媒介的浓厚兴趣,让人不禁思索:艺术家使用纸媒对于中国传统服装的复制,是对传统服装所代表的古代文明的赞颂,还是在从另外一个角度提醒我们认识生活世界的“非真实”呢。王雷说,其最初的创作灵感源于对物质情感及属性上不可能性的一种探索。
高蓉,李洪波,王雷均毕业于中央美术学院。高蓉和李洪波作品分别被中央美术学院美术馆,白兔基金(White Rabbit Collection) 收藏。
本展览将于2011年4月27日至6月15日在北京艺莱空间举办。敬请出席4月27日下午3点至6点的开幕式。详情请致电画廊+ 86(10) 5807-4927或电邮至zongxi@ekprojects.com 和 info@ekprojects.com




Material → Object
Press Release

EK Projects cordially invites you to attend the reception and private viewing of Material → Object featuring artists Gao Rong, Li Hongbo, and Wang Lei.
The artists experiment with the techniques of weaving, embroidery, and cut paper to explore and comment upon the human condition in China.
Gao Rong shares her personal experience of living conditions in Beijing using cotton and foam to recreate a shabby corner of a building inspired by a housing facility where she once lived. The stains and rust are softly rendered in delicate thread, combining traditional craft and conceptual art. Gao Rong reflects on her work and its correlation to temporary housing as, "a house that is not a home, fatigued but still inviting." The objects she recreates represent the memories of a young generation born in the 1980s in China.
Li Hongbo's work is inspired by the paper gourd, a children's toy; its complex shape opened his mind to the possibilities of paper forms. His paper figures explicitly address the dimensions of the human form. Long, segmented limbs tumble out of their sockets like decorative paper dragons, emphasizing their fantastical appearance. "The challenge for Li Hongbo," says art critic Yin Shuangxi, "is to explore the cultural significance of paper rather than the craft of manipulating paper."
Wang Lei, who also utilizes paper as his medium, threads together toilet paper to create a rack of plain white garments and the pages of authoritative texts to weave rarified imperial robes. Wang Lei strips the garments of their function down to simply their form, using basic textiles to question the relationship between what we perceive versus what is real and challenges the ideas of the authorities of ownership when the objects are no longer what they appear.
This exhibition will be on view at EK Projects from April 27th through June 15th. The artists will be present for the opening reception on Wednesday, April 27th from 3 - 6 PM. For further information, please contact the gallery at +86 (10) 5807-4927 or info@ekprojects.com.
