RTSM｜2020 Online Exhibition: "More Than The Immune Problem"

With the first attempt of the ongoing project “Reflecting the Sharing Moment(abbr. RTSM)” organized by CAFA ART INFO, the online exhibition More Than The Immune Problem invites both domestic and international artists to record and present their reflections on the world and themselves in the year 2020. Diversified thinking and expressions from these artists are expected to be shared and discussed in a broader sense.

In this section, we would like to introduce artists YANG Jiechang and Simone DOUGLAS, as well as their artistic reflections to the year 2020.

YANG Jiechang

"La vita è bella"

I was born in Foshan, Guangdong on 16 November, 1956. My grandfather taught me to use a pair of chopsticks to eat and a brush to write from the age of three. I graduated from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 1982 and I have stayed there to teach. I have worked and created in Heidelberg, Germany and Paris, France since 1989. With three simple bamboo sticks, which are a brush and a pair of chopsticks, I have made a living across the world.

The Angel Is Tired

A brush is my cheapest and most effective vaccine.

Although it is still terrible that there’s no remedy for the COVID-19 virus across the world, fear is the most horrible thing for human beings. There is a miraculous medicine that “knowing the blank and keeping the black.”

My footprint traces in 2020 are only on working and reading.

The crisis happened to the world this year highlights that the cheap prices of a brush, rice paper and ink, and they are miraculous medicine against the crisis of a dinosaur-like art.

La vita è bella

This is a series of work showcased in Roma at the beginning of this year.

People cannot live with birds and beasts.

(Analects of Confucius)

CN. ＂鳥獸不可與同群＂（論語）

Simone DOUGLAS

"Day without End"

Simone Douglas has over two decades of developing, testing and enabling ideas, across a broad range of critical and community contexts, and across some seven universities. Fundamental to Douglas’ work is the advocacy and advancement of art towards our collective future. At Parsons School of Design, The New School in NYC where she is tenured faculty, she was the director of the MFA Fine Arts program ahead of becoming a full professor. Douglas teaches master classes internationally.

Douglas has an extensive international career and her works have been curated into international survey exhibitions and published widely in journals and art anthologies. Her work incorporates installation, photography, sculpture, video and durational site specific works. One of her current active art works, Ice Boat, enacts a poetic sustainable-energy strategy born out of consultation with the community and is a cross- disciplinary endeavour with experts in fields beyond the arts. An engagement with cultural histories, land, and environmental responsibility, Ice Boat has been conceived to serve as a poetic symbol of reparation. This ongoing commitment to the engagement with environment, inter- cultural dialogue facilitation and art as a medium that can instigate change, is the backbone of Douglas’ larger agenda within her practice.

Day without End

Days Without End. That night it rained. A soft mist enveloping the eerily empty streets. I walked to an event where a robot played music while experts gave speeches about climate change and the environment. I was due to fly the next day to co-chair a conference half a world away. I had just taught one of the last classes on campus as it was announced that evening that we would be teaching online classes from the next day. The gravity of C-19 was breaking in NYC. The roads the next day were full of people leaving the city for the countryside; the airport itself was near empty. Within the airport, the anxious conversation of passengers and the crew boarding the plane echoed throughout the hollow departure halls. We flew across the deep of the night, under the epic movements of celestial paths, and chasing the rising sun arrived in Australia at dawn. Not long after we landed quarantine was implemented, and in following days Australia entered lockdown. I had travelled the arc of the world to live a world inside a room. My relationship with the world abruptly became metered through phenomenological encounter with the passing traces of the world outside. alchemical light sun ‘paintings’ passing through time and space in the room; the increasing songs of birds holding the sun under their wings coupled with the decreasing frequency of the sounds of incoming planes. Each bird held the sun beneath their wings. The intensity of a life lived inside coexisting with the digital world of a life lived online, created a tension, a desire for meaning and connection between the lived reality of the experiential world and the memory of it. Days that haven’t ended.
