香格纳北京将于7月13日展出来自三位重量级艺术家耿建翌、梁绍基与阿彼察邦·韦拉斯哈古的三件（系列）重要作品。此次展览将以一人一件（系列）作品的形式呈现三位艺术家对不同艺术语言的探索与挑战，并试图使其在彼此构成的独特语境中进行重联和对话。
Opening on 13 July, ShanghART Beijing is pleased to present three significant (series) works by renowned artists Geng Jianyi, Liang Shaoji and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Demonstrating the artists' bold experimentation and challenge of different artistic languages, this exhibition recontextualises these three (series) works and allows them to be in conversations with each other.
耿建翌个展《过度》现场，香格纳北京，2008 | Installation View of Geng Jianyi's solo exhibition “Excessive Transition”, ShanghART Beijing, 2008
作为早期当代实验艺术的代表人物，耿建翌无疑是中国最具影响力的观念艺术家之一。曾于香格纳北京2008年开幕展中呈现的《藩门》系列，时隔十一年将在同一地点中展出。八件带着明显使用痕迹的冰箱门被当成现成品使用，对日常生活投以反思：冰箱作为舶来品，结束了传统的窖藏时代。而吸附在其上的“冰箱贴”——宝丽来摄影，则可以被看作个人和世界的关系，这也延续了耿建翌一贯的对个人身份问题的探索和研究。
耿建翌 GENG Jianyi | 藩门 Door（局部 Detail）| 2008 | 宝丽来、冰箱门 Polaroid, Fridge door
Known as a seminal figure of the avant-garde art movement and one of the most influential conceptual artists in China, Geng Jianyi's Door series will be on view in this show, which was also included in the opening exhibition of our Beijing gallery eleven years ago. Through the readymades - eight old refrigerator doors, the artist is able to convey his critical thinking of everyday life: this kind of imported goods marks the end of an era of cellaring. Attached to these items, the Polaroid photographs nevertheless examine the relationship between individuals and the world, and reveal Geng's sustained exploration of identity throughout his career.
阿彼察邦·韦拉斯哈古 Apichatpong WEERASETHAKUL | 蓝色 Blue | 2018 | 单路视频、装置 Single-channel video, Installation | 彩色高清影像，5:1声道 HD video, 5:1 audio, colour | 12 minutes 16 seconds
回忆、梦寐、灵魂是阿彼察邦·韦拉斯哈古指向精神性神秘隐喻的重要通路。在艺术家2018年的单频录像作品《Blue》中，一位裹着蓝色被褥的女性在深夜辗转难眠，不远处的剧院幕布上正交替切换着两组热带风景——在意识的临界口，剧场场景在有形和无形之间伪造了一个过度空间。耀眼的火光被倒映在寂静的但又让人忧郁不安的蓝色之上，迫使观者迷失在某种私密梦境中，同时又唤起个人潜在的直觉能量。
Spiritual subjects, such as memory, dream and soul, weave their way into Apichatpong Weerasethakul's artistic output. In his 2018 single-channel video Blue, a woman that lies under a blue sheet suffers from insomnia at night, while a set of theatre backdrops unveils two alternate landscapes nearby - at the threshold of consciousness, the theatrical scenery forges a transitional space between corporeality and incorporeality. The flicker of firelight upon the blue colour - hushed and yet unsettling - draws viewers into an intimate, mysterious vision, so as to provoke their potential intuitive awareness.
梁绍基 LIANG Shaoji | 鬼谷子 Guiguzi （局部 Detail）| 2009 | 蚕丝，铁丝 Silk, Iron wire | 可变尺寸 Dimensions variable
创作于2009年的大型装置《鬼谷子》是梁绍基早期的代表作之一。形似现代人敏感而脆弱的神经末梢，作品中缠绕在空中的蚕丝与铁丝牵引出一个迷魂阵般的场域。有着“艺术隐士”之称的梁绍基对蚕和蚕丝三十余年的研究和使用，使他形成了独有的艺术语言和材料美学。蚕是自然的语言，蚕的生长、吐丝的特性也让他的创作方法接近修炼禅思：蚕 - 缠 - 禅。“蚕丝是时间和生命的结点在漫长绵延的旅程中的显像——存在和存在者之迹，它划出了无穷大又无穷小的一，这‘一’便是天地之始，万物之母…”
Also presented will be a large-scale installation titled Guiguzi (2009) by Liang Shaoji, which is considered as one of his major early works. Similar to the sensitive and vulnerable nerve endings of human being, this work creates a maze-like configuration in the air with silk and iron wires. Honoured as "the hermit of art", Liang has indulged in the entire life cycle of silkworm for over three decades which accounts for his unique subject matter and materials. Silkworm is a language of nature; characterised by this creature’s growth and spinning, Liang's working method is filled with a sense of meditation. As the artist notes, "silk resembles a visible reflection of the knotting point of time and life - the imprint of being and beings. It generates 'unity', which refers to the origin of heaven and earth, the lord of creation…"
