展览名称：水源地

艺术家：厉槟源

开幕时间：2015年8月22日　下午4时

展览时间：2015年8月22日—10月4日

2015年8月22日是厉槟源在杨画廊的第二个个展《水源地》的开幕日，展览持续到10月4日。两年前，艺术家的首个展《我有病》，以装置、影像、图片三种呈现形式，比较多面、平铺式地呈现了早期的部分作品。这次展览《水源地》，杨画廊将近五年的作品重新做了系统地分类和梳理，从中只选取了7件行为纪录视频和2件行为纪录图片，更深入和细腻地去呈现厉槟源的艺术创作。

我们试图和艺术家一起从“反作用力”“身体雕塑”“空间再造/ 物质重构”“偶然遭遇”“自然共生”几大方向去整理创作线索，但描述和分类本身并不是为了强调这些概念，而是尝试提供几个角度对艺术创作进行解读和开展讨论。大自然中的江河湖泊有自己特定的源头。借用空间语言，通过作品之间的关联，我们设置一种观看路线，沿路跟随找寻厉槟源的创作原点。在出生的家乡地，在工作的居住地，在海外的过往地，在不同的自然和社会环境中生成的行为，它们隐隐地指向一个根据处。身体是厉槟源常使用的一种更环保更自然的元素，他安静地、癫狂地、冒险地、真诚地、竭尽体能地，反复地在与自己及所处的周遭交流。在展览中，《自由耕种》作品是厉槟源对多年不敢触碰的关于父亲和家园的第一次面对，我们为观众安设了他发生行为的类似场域，走入者或走出者会在空间的其他路径中留下往来的足迹。《测试》中，艺术家经历了一次与危险的对话。同时，杨画廊将首次将办公室作为整个展览的一个展示空间，并对公众开放。

Title:Headwaters

Artist:Li Binyuan

Opening: 2015.08.22 4:00pm

Duration: 2015.08.22-10.04

Headwaters, Li Binyuan’s second solo exhibition in GalleryYang, is set to open on August 22nd, 2015. It will last until October 4th. Hisfirst one, I Have Issues, came to Gallery Yang two years ago, whichmultifacetedly and enumeratively represented part of his early works in threeforms, that is, installation, video, and image. Now in Headwaters, Gallery Yangsystematically hackled and classified his works over the time of almost 5 yearsto demonstrate his compositions in a deeper and subtler way, ending up with aselection of only 7 documentary videos and 2 sets of documentary images, bothof performance art.

We try to cooperate with the artist to organize thethreads of his work onto such directions as “counter-action”, “body sculpture”,“recasting of space/ reconstruction of matter”, “accidental encounter”, and“natural symbiosis”. The description and classification, however, were notintended to put emphasis on these conceptions, but to bring out some anglesfrom which his artistic composition could be interpreted and discussed. Thewaters in the nature all have their specific origins. By way of searching forthe origin of Li Binyuan’s work, we set up a sightseeing route in spaciallanguage, making use of the connections between his works. The hometown he wasborn to, the places he lived and worked, the places oversea he visited, and thebehaviors generated in varying natural and social environments, all these seemto point to a original base. “Body” is an element Li Binyuan frequentlyemployed, which is environmentally friendly and natural. Quietly, fanatically,riskily, earnestly, physically exhaustedly, and repetitively, he communicatedwith himself and his surroundings. Plant as You Wish, a work in thisexhibition, presents an attempt to face his father and home for the first timeafter years of lacking courage to touch. The setting we devised for this workis similar to that of his visit in reality, and when viewers walked in or out,their footsteps will be left on the paths between works in the exhibition. InTesting, the artist experienced a dialogue with danger. In the meantime, theoffice area of Gallery Yang will make its debut as a part of an exhibition,open-armed, greeting the public.
