唐狄鑫在新加坡的首次个展将展出他最新系列中的10张作品。
唐狄鑫的绘画关注并评论社会现象，总是充斥着紧张和不安感。这个系列的绘画更是带有个人色彩，本身就是源自艺术家在年初被狗咬伤的经历，激起他内心癫狂的情绪，卷入无法言说的死亡幻象。展览标题“狗吠”可以说是对这世上过于平静或是纷乱的现状的狂暴回应，是对死亡的嚎叫，甚至是歇斯底里的狂笑。作品中充斥着唐狄鑫典型的煽动性手法，通过所展作品中的超现实意象，传达一种紧张和荒诞的情绪。事实和虚构之间的界限不再清晰，让观者根据画面自行遐想。
Tang's debut solo presentation in Singapore will feature 10 paintings from his most recent series.Tang's paintings are often concerned with social commentary, alongside a sense of anxiety and restlessness. This series also has an added sense of the personal, following an incident in the beginning of the year where the artist was bitten by a dog, which stirred within him manic emotions and an unexplainable delusion of death.
The exhibition title "Dog Bark" refers to a berserk reaction to the world's overly tranquil or chaotic atmosphere; a howl at death, or even a hysterical laughter.Tang's provocative trait runs through his works, bringing about a sense of tension and absurdity through his surreal imagery in the works displayed in this exhibition. The line between fact and fiction is blurred, leaving the viewer to conjure their perceptions of what is presented.

FIELD MEETING Take 3: Thinking Performanceis one of the two signature programs organized by ACAW 2015, an exclusive art forum, staging lecture-performances, talks and discussions with over 30 keynote figures to foreground the multiplicity and critical role of performance work coming out of the context of Asia.
唐狄鑫的创作通常横跨多种媒介，都着重强调了艺术的场地特殊性和事件性。他这次在纽约的表演延续挪用了去年在艾可画廊的个展 “饥饿先生” 的思路。他将在在社会空间中 “行走”与“攀爬”,两者本质上的区别创造性地体现了以退为进的手段,由此暗藏了某种隐性的对立。
Tang Dixin’s practices involve a spectrum of media, all of which contribute to emphasizing the site-specificity and eventuality of art. Tang Dixin’s performance, “Mr. Hungry” is an adaptation from his on-site performance at AIKE-DELLARCO last year, and uses the physical divergence between the act of ‘walking’ and ‘climbing’ in a social environment as an imaginative interval to defy social norms. The artist’s actions suggest his retreat to a subdued expression of disobedience.
