OV画廊新闻稿
在本次展览中，史晶延续着他数十年前就开始的对光和时间的试验，在那时，他是巡演剧团的一名舞台灯光师。
在这样的角色下，他开始对光是如何在物体表面发挥作用，使它在我们眼前看起来不一样发生兴趣。他的标志性风格包括涂抹大量的颜料在画布上, 由此，留下的笔触和不同的材质在没有颜色的情况下在画布上创造了一个图像。
在本次展览中，他开始对光、监控器、电视和反光表面进行了概念性探索。其中他最新的装置作品是以一个24小时播放的新闻频道投射在舞台的玻璃球上为特色，绽放出彩虹般的色彩，进而反射到画廊的墙面上，在这个过程中广播内容消失了。
在史晶展览的第二部分，他将监控器拍摄到的画廊外的景色投射在画廊投影室里。这个作品毫无疑问参考了监视的概念，但与此同时在他作品中对于物体和人物的刻画却十分微弱，以至于它们几乎无法被用作对现实的真实刻画，或作为一种可以在法庭使用的合法的证据形式。
事实上史晶设法捕捉的是生命的无常——这些个体在一个特定的时间（展览进行时）通过一个空间(OV画廊)。
本次展览的第三个元素是一系列小行星的绘画作品，它们飘浮在一个漆黑的空间，在内置灯光的框架下发亮。引发史晶兴趣的是这些图像(取自一个占星术爱好者站)只能描述几千光年的小行星的状态，在展览开幕的时候，它们很可能在外观上发生巨大的改变,甚至在大气层焚毁。
展览的标题 “The remains of the day” (英文) 或“24小时”（中文）不仅仅指代24个新闻频道，并且意指当下事件稍纵即逝的特性，佛教教义中的世事无常。佛教教义中相信时间是基于心灵之上，从而使宇宙无穷无尽。

The Remains of the Day: Shi Jing Solo Show
December 1, 2012-January 20,2013
Opening Saturday December 1,2012
OV Gallery Press Release
In this show ShiJing continues his career-long experimentation with time and light which begandecades ago when found a job doing stage lighting for a travelling theatertroupe.
While in this rolehe became interested in how the play of light on the surfaces of objects causedthem to appear differently before our eyes. His recognizable style involvesherding quantities of paint around the canvas so that the brushstrokes and thedifferences in paint texture construct an image on the canvas without thebenefit of color.
In this show, hepursues a conceptual exploration of light, of security cameras, TVs andreflective surfaces. His latest installation piece features a 24-hour newschannel projected on to a mirror ball, which disperses it into a rainbow ofhues reflecting off the walls of the gallery. It is through this process thatShi Jing completely negates the content of the broadcast.
In the second partof the show Shi Jing turns this process around. Instead of projecting, hecaptures footage with the use of a CCTV camera which captures footage which isthen projected into the gallery. The work makes obvious reference to the ideaof surveillance, but at the same time his renderings of the objects andcharacters in his paintings are so faint that they barely could serve as a formof court documentation.
In fact what ShiJing manages to capture is the transience of life — the brief passage of theseindividuals through a space (OV Gallery) at a specific time (sometime duringthe opening of the show).
The third elementof the show is a series of paintings of asteroids floating in an inky blackspace framed with built-in lighting. What intrigued Shi Jing was the idea thatthese images (taken from an astrology fan site) could only depict the appearanceof asteroids thousands of light years away, and that they had likely greatlychanged in appearance, or even burned out of the atmosphere by the time of theopening of the show.
The exhibitiontitles “The Remains of the Day” (English) or “24 Hours” (Chinese) refer notonly to the 24-hour news channel, but also the fleeting nature of currentevents and also our lives, which, like asteroids, have a finite lifespan.
Here Shi Jingconjures up Buddhist doctrines of impermanence and the belief that time is aconstruct of the mind. The universe, unlike the human mind has no bounds, butstretches out into infinity.
