【部分参展作品:
A feather flying to Venice/飞往威尼斯的一支羽毛
2009/行为,装置/6.7×40.5×26厘米
2009 performance, installation,6.7×40.5×26cm
2009年我获邀参加第53届威尼斯双年展澳门主题展,开幕前夕,我因实施作品《窄门》违反北京市治安条例被监禁半年。
"一根飞往威尼斯的一根羽毛"是在北京某拘留所我口述给提前出狱的狱友,让他们找到我的朋友转达我对作品的构想,再由朋友们制作完成后送到威尼斯现场的作品。
送到威尼斯展览现场后,主办方没有展示这件作品。之后又辗转几个地方,被幸鑫带回成都。一年后,于2010年4月15日快递到我的手中。邮包自此从未打开,制作和展览前打开时也没有任何人为此作品留下影像资料。
About"A Feather Flying to Venice"
In 2009, I was invited to the exhibition"Divergence: Exhibition From Macao, China"at the 53rd Venice Biennale. Right before the opening ceremony, I was imprisoned for half a year because of the implementation of my artwork "Narrow Door".
So I explained my plan of the work "A Feather Flying to Venice" to my inmates. They were released from the prison earlier than me and found my artwork and sent it to Venice.
However, for some reason, this artwork didn't get a chance to be exhibited in Venice. It was brought back to Chang Du by Xing Xin after it went around a few other places. A few later, it was sent back to me. The package has never been opened since then and no video information was left.
还有羽毛/Feather!
2009/行为,图片,60×80cm×18
2009, performance,photograph,60×80cm×18
在监狱很少能见到灰色之外的东西,2009年7月9号在河北邯郸监狱操场放风时捡到了第一根羽毛,羽翼的美感在特殊的气场中打开了我内心所有的壁垒,后来我几乎把放风、出操、打饭、放烟茅等号外的活动都当做一个可以捡到羽毛的机会。
我带出了18支羽毛,第18支是最大的一支,是隔壁号的兄弟送给我的礼物。
I could only saw greyin prison. I picked the first feather on July 9th, 2009 in the sport ground in HebePrison. Feather was really linked with discourage and love in that circumstances. After that, whenever I could go outside and got chances to pick up feathers.
I brought out eighteen feathers. The last feather which was the largest one was a gift from a friend who was from the next cell.
