昊美术馆荣幸地宣布,作为《www和中国新媒体艺术三十年》三年计划之第一年项目,冯梦波、汪建伟、张培力三人联展“美丽新世界”(Move on China 2019)及大型跨学科论坛将于2019年12月12日于昊美术馆上海馆举办。
在www万维网诞生及”中国现代艺术大展”之后三十年的今天,影像和数字艺术日益成为当今公共文化空间中不可忽视的力量。昊美术馆计划在三年内以三次展览和大型论坛及专著出版的方式重访中国新媒体艺术在这三十年当中的重要节点。美术馆将联合艺术家、机构、学者等各界力量,以作品现场、文字著述、议题论辩等方式,在不同学科和领域之间,在学术和思想层面对文明的传递和嬗变、中心和边缘的移动和分化、技术与未来与共同体之间的关系等问题展开讨论,期望对媒介和事件给予思想性的解读,以此为基础把握和定义当代生活的本质,以及思想文化的脉络和方向。
冯梦波、汪建伟、张培力三位艺术家对影像艺术和数字媒介做出了杰出贡献,为新形式的媒介赋予了来自艺术家自身的内在理由,也铭记着社会转型和时代变迁。在中国当代艺术开始被认知的过程中,他们的工作具有鲜明的探索性和突出的前瞻性。冯梦波以电子游戏、互动装置、视频与音乐表演等技术与美学的交叉为当代艺术注入了新鲜的血液,同时与地缘、时代和身份的另类表达相嵌合。汪建伟通过一系列的影像和剧场表演以及装置和雕塑将中心和语意的漂移、主体性的颠覆和再造以超链接的方式带给观者,并且在视觉、观念、形式等当代艺术方法论的问题领域做出了脚踏实地的探索。张培力将话语与信息的传播和控制、私域与公共的错位、意义转移下的观看与被观看等等,以极端现实的手法呈现出来,显现了长时段背景中权力定义下的个体命运。在技术和媒介发展进步和相对成熟的今天,他们当年工作的超前性和实验意义才具有了充分显现的条件。而作为对媒介和观念有着深刻自觉意识的艺术家,他们一直持续的创新活动将会产生越来越深远的影响。
“中国新媒体艺术三十年”第二年和第三年的项目,包括展览和论坛将于2020年和2021年的秋季在昊美术馆接续展开,从多重侧面和角度探讨这一主题下包含的方向和样貌。项目最后将于2022年出版基于三次展览和三次论坛的专著,分别以中英文出版。
HOW Art Museum is proud to announce that it will host the first annual “30 Years of www & New Media Art in China”. The event marks the first year of a three-year project. The large-scale transdisciplinary forum and three-person collaborative exhibition “Move on China 2019” will include Feng Mengbo, Wang Jianwei, and Zhang Peili. The event will be held at the HOW Art Museum (Shanghai) on December 12th 2019.
Thirty years after the birth of the World Wide Web and the “China/Avant-Garde” exhibition, video and digital art have increasingly become a force that cannot be ignored in today's public cultural spaces. The HOW Art Museum hopes to revisit the important nodes of Chinese new media art over the past three decades through these three exhibitions, large-scale forums, and monographic publications. The museum will join forces with artists, institutions, and scholars from various fields, to transmit and transmute civilization on academic and ideological levels between different disciplines and fields by means of on-site works, writing texts and debating topics.
Issues to be discussed will include but are not limited to: the transition and distinction between the central and the marginal, as well as the relationship between technology, the future, and community. The discussion hopes to give philosophical exegesis of media and events, which function as the basis to grasp and define the essence of contemporary life while providing the context and direction of thought and culture.
Feng Mengbo, Wang Jianwei, and Zhang Peili have made outstanding contributions to video art and digital media, endowing new forms of media with a kind of reasoning that is intrinsically linked to the artists themselves. All while bearing in mind the social transformation and constant changes of the times. Since the process of Chinese contemporary art gaining recognition began, their work has retained its prominent exploratory and Avant grade nature. Feng Mengbo has injected fresh blood into contemporary art by intersecting technology and aesthetics in the form of electronic games, interactive installations, video, and music performances. At the same time, Feng Mengbo intertwines the work with alternative takes toward geography, the times and identity. Through a series of videos, theater performances, installations, and sculptures, Wang Jianwei shifts semantics and the center, subverting and reconstructing subjectivity which is passed on to the audience in the form of hyperlinks. Zhang Peili presents us with the control and transmission of information and discourse, the dislocation of public and private space, and the distortion of what it means to see and be seen. It's within such a backdrop that he reveals in a hyperrealistic fashion the fate of the individual over a long span of time defined in terms of power. With the relatively mature level in development that technology and media have reached today, the pioneering and experimental significance of their work when it was accomplished has yet to be fully revealed. As artists who have a deep awareness of media and concepts, their innovative engagements will continue to have a more and more profound impact in the future.
The second and third years’ of the project “30 Years of Chinese New Media Art”, including the corresponding exhibitions and discussions will also be held at the HOW Art Museum during the fall of 2020 and 2021. The project seeks to explore possible trajectories and dispositions manifested under this theme from multiple perspectives. The project will eventually publish monographs based on three exhibitions and the three forums which will be printed in both English and Chinese in 2022.
