“Time forks perpetually toward innumerable futures.” In The Garden of Forking Paths, Borges describes a labyrinth made up of the contingencies of time, space and fate. Here it also seems to question, what is above all this? Maybe the imagination of artworks provides some kind of option from a particular point of view.
In Chinese, the word “path” carries a whiff of “method”, which seemingly adds a certain sense of “inevitability” to the “contingencies of fate”, and gives the “future” a splash of “light” and “hope”. This alternative path can be a way of coping with the present, while encouraging the exhibition itself to develop in a freer, more unrestricted manner.
在此,借用一段艺术家耿建翌参展作品的介绍——《在温哥华的十天》是一件暗房游戏的应机之作,作品的“始”与“终”对应一张上海至温哥华的往返机票。艺术家根据日程,在暗房中准备了十幅处理好的相纸,密封在暗袋里随身携带。在到达温哥华的当天打开第一个暗袋,然后依次每日打开余下的直至离开,由于曝光时间的差异,在相纸上形成了不同的色列。它的意义在于“尝鲜”。
Here, we would like to borrow a paragraph from the introduction of Geng Jianyi's work "Ten Days in Vancouver" featured in the exhibition: It is a playful piece of the darkroom, where the “beginning” and “end” of the work correspond to a round-trip air ticket from Shanghai to Vancouver. According to the schedule, the artist prepared ten pieces of specially processed photographic paper in the darkroom, which were sealed in a dark bag and carried with him. Geng opened one on the first day of arrival and later the next until departure, finally rendering a line of progressive colours due to the difference in exposure times. It's all about trying something new.
