海洋之殇装置艺术展 | 当艺术遇上环保,在这里重新发现海洋之蓝!
The Ocean's Blues
海洋占地球表面的三分之二,提供给我们非常丰富的海洋资源,但是,海洋污染问题却是世界性的难题。据联合国环境署估计,每年有超过640万吨的垃圾进入海洋。
海洋垃圾中有80%来自陆地,占比最大的是食品包装和塑料袋,对哺乳生物来说最大的杀手是废弃的鱼网,一旦被鱼网缠住,它们因为无法挣脱鱼网到水面换气而窒息死亡,而对其它的海洋生物而言,最大的杀手是塑料制品的垃圾,它们会因为误食而导致无法消化和分解,最终导致死亡,从而打乱海洋的生态系统。
案例一
2018年在墨西哥南部,先后有400多只濒临绝种的海龟因为被废弃的鱼网缠绕而死。
案例二
在加勒比海的开曼群岛以北,一废弃的鱼网被扔进海里成了“死亡牢笼”,几十条鲨鱼因为被缠绕而死亡腐烂。
案例三
2017年3月12日,在惠州发现了被鱼网缠绕而死亡的抹香鲸。3月15日,隔浅的抹香鲸因为受伤和虚弱的缘故无法游回大海而死亡,打捞上岸后,在抹香鲸的口中发现了大量的鱼网和垃圾。
生活中,人们随手丢弃的塑料袋,塑料瓶,鱼网对海洋的生态环境造成了非常大的危害,借着2019第二届国际儿童海洋节,众艺术家们联合深圳外国语学校的孩子们利用身边的白色垃圾做成了多种海洋环保主题作品,希望通过自己的作品唤起人们爱护海洋,关注海洋的意识。
为了让孩子们对海洋垃圾情况有更深切的了解,深圳外国语学校组织学生们一起到海边捡拾垃圾,实地去了解目前关于海洋垃圾的最真实的情况。
为了收集足够的制作材料,学生们到处搜寻渔网等废弃物、求助渔政大队,并冒雨去寻找废弃渔网,为作品制作做准备。
▲收集渔网等材料
▲求助渔政大队收集废弃渔网
▲制作作品的原材料:废弃渔网
海洋之殇装置艺术展 The Ocean's Blues 活动日期:2019年6月18日-9月10日 活动地点:深圳外国语学校国际部·瀚美术馆 届时,欢迎大家带上孩子前来参观、欣赏与品鉴。 | |||

海洋之殇装置艺术展介绍
The Ocean's Blues Introduction
“海洋之殇”装置艺术展,是深圳外国语学校首次汇集了七个分部学生作品的大型美术展。展览主题是海洋环境及生态保护。展览内容由三件装置艺术作品和170余件绘画、摄影及雕塑作品组成。同时,本展览也是深圳市蓝色海洋环境保护协会举办的“2019第二届国际儿童海洋节”的一部分。
展览中的三件装置艺术作品分别名为“幽灵捕鱼”、“海龟的困惑”和“微塑料”,是由深外国际部的三十余名学生,从概念探究到材料试验,再到作品创作,总共历时十八周完成。今年三月至四月,深外国际部在校门口设置了“upcycle 回收站”, 向全校师生回收塑料,作为本次装置作品的主要材料。创作过程中,学生们需要理解作品的空间尺度,掌握综合材料的运用,以及尝试声音、灯光、影像等创作手段,并在反复实验的过程中对创作主题有了更深的解读。
深圳外国语学校学生总数达10,000人以上,展出的170余件美术作品便是来自深外七个分部的学生,他们来自不同的国家、不同的年龄段,和不同的学制。此次展览是一次有趣的思想碰撞之旅,让学生们在这里自我表达、相互欣赏、沟通交流。
环境保护是IB倡导的全人教育理念中的一个要素,IB六大学科主题之一“共享地球” 便是引导学生探究人类与自然,人类与其它地球生物之间共存关系的学科单元。在“海洋之殇”艺术展中,学生们以作品发声,表达自己的所思所想,向公众传达了改善海洋塑料污染的紧迫性和重要性。
海洋之殇文献展
海洋之殇文献展是对展览中三件装置艺术作品及其创作过程进行的一个回顾和梳理。文献展由三个部分组成,分别为“创作过程”,“塑料再造”,和“项目阐述书”。文献展呈现了这三件装置作品的灵感来源、演变过程以及制作方式。希望观众在观展的同时,可以通过项目中留存的手稿、照片、实验样品等,窥见创作者的思维过程。
作品展示
幽灵渔网 #1
被丢弃在海洋中的渔具在海洋中漂浮着,沿途“捕获”海洋生物使其无法挣脱,直到尸体腐坏,渔网又重新漂回海里进行新一轮的“捕杀”。这一循环现象被称做“Ghost Net Fishing”,即幽灵捕鱼。幽灵捕鱼造成了诸多毁灭性影响,如杀害濒危大型海洋生物,传播病菌危害珊瑚群落,破坏海洋生态环境等等。
在展厅中间列阵悬挂的透明流刺网是从深圳大鹏沿海回收的废弃渔网。在渔网的下方,是一片了无生气的海底,布满了白化的珊瑚和动物的骸骨。海底地形是用蜂窝纸板、鸡网,以及回收的塑料和泡沫等材料搭建的。”幽灵渔网” 犹如一记警钟:像墓地一般的海底世界,是否会让你感到一丝悲凉和愧疚?

幽灵渔网 #2
在学生决定要以 “幽灵捕鱼” 为创作主题之后,我们就开始想办法收集废弃渔网。我们必须使用真实的废弃渔网,因为真实,才会有触动。因此我们也需要承担回收材料在种类和数量上的不确定性。在幽灵渔网的创作过程中,我们在前中后期分别搜集了三批废弃的渔网:第一批是“笼网”, 第二批是“流刺网”, 第三批是“深海网兜”。所以最终形成了两组作品。
幽灵渔网#2 是一个真实伤害事件的重现:大型海洋生物被废弃渔网缠绕其中,无法挣脱,等待它们的只有饥饿和死亡。作品中使用了深海网兜,铁丝,外卖餐盒和蔬菜包装盒。

微塑料
海洋中除了有堆积成山的 “垃圾岛”, 还有更多肉眼看不见的“微塑料”。粒径小于5毫米的塑料纤维、颗粒或者薄膜即为微塑料,实际上很多微塑料可达微米乃至纳米级,因此也被形象地比作海洋中的“PM2.5” 。微塑料无法被打捞起来,更糟糕的是它已经进入了海洋食物链。
一段显微镜下的视频记录了微塑料进入海洋浮游生物体内的真实过程,这一段重要的“证据”给我们带来了启发:假如海洋生物的身体都是透明的,让我们可以直接用肉眼观测,我们会看到小鱼、虾、章鱼等海洋生物的体内都流动着微塑料颗粒。而食物链的顶端是人类,作品中的餐桌正是代表了微塑料最终的去向。“微塑料”这一作品提示着观众:海洋微塑料污染与你息息相关,我们需要立刻正视这个问题并采取积极的行动。

海龟的困惑
人类的塑料垃圾大规模侵入海洋,每年因误食塑料而死亡的动物不计其数。海鸟、海龟、鲸鱼… 它们没有能力分辨,最后被塑料塞满了消化道,因脱水和饥饿而死。学生在观看资料视频的时候,有的惊呼不可思议,有的默默地红了眼眶。
“ You can tell the difference, a turtle can’t!”是WWF世界自然基金会的一张海报上的标语。在“海龟的困惑”中,学生们描绘了一个暗藏杀机的美丽海洋,一只面临生死选择却不自知的海龟。希望观众能透过海龟的视角去看海洋,对这些与我们共享地球的物种,我们该有一份同理心。

海洋之殇装置艺术展介绍
The Ocean's Blues Introduction
“The Ocean’s Blues” exhibits artworks from students of all seven Shenzhen Foreign Language Schools.The exhibition consists of three installation art pieces and over 170 drawings、photographs and sculptures. It is also part of the “2019 International Children’s Marine Festival” organized by SZBOCA, a Shenzhen based NGO dedicated to marine conservation.
The three installation art pieces are collaborative endeavors of over 30 students from SWIS. They are named “Ghost Nets”, “Confusion” and “Microplastics”. During March and April, an “Upcycle Station” is set up at the SWIS front gate to collect plastic waste from the whole community. The art project timeframe spans over 18 weeks, starting from research and concept development, progressing to material experimentation, and finally the making of the art piece. The students have to comprehend the scale of their work and its spatial relationships, master plastic reconstruction techniques, and experiment with various methods such as sound、 lighting、 and motion pictures. Through this creative process, they gain more insights about the problem and develop a stronger stance.
Shenzhen Foreign Language School has in total over 10,000 students, and over 170 art pieces are received for this exhibition. The students come from different ethnic groups, different age groups,and different educational systems. “The Ocean’s Blues” serves as a dialogue between them, whereby they express themselves and exchange ideas.
Environmental awareness is an inherent part of the IB philosophy. In the PYP program, one of the six “Units of Inquiry” is called “Sharing the Planet” , which leads students to contemplate our co-existence with other living creatures on Earth, and to reflect on the implications of our behavior. “The Ocean’s Blues” voices the students’ opinions about marine conservation, and urges the public to act positively against the pollution of our oceans.
The Ocean’s Blues - Documentary
This documentary reveals the “behind the scene” actions of the three installation art pieces. It consists of three sections: “the Creative Process”, “Plastic Reconstruction”, and “Project Portfolios”. Through the sketches, photographs, video footages, and artifacts, we hope to provide you with a glimpse of how the art works are conceived, developed, and materialized.
Exhibition of works
Ghost Nets #1
Ghost nets are commercial fishing nets that have been lost, abandoned, or discarded at sea. Every year they are responsible for trapping and killing millions of marine animals. Ghost nets cause further damage by entangling live coral, smothering reefs and introducing parasites and invasive species into reef environments.
The fishing nets used in this piece of work are real “trammel nets” collected from the Dapeng coastlines of Shenzhen. Underneath the nets is a piece of lifeless seabed, covered by bleached coral reefs and fish bones. The seabed is made with honeycomb cardboard, chicken wire, recycled plastics and foam wraps etc,. “Ghost nets” turn natural habitats into graveyards, and how does that make you feel?

Ghost Nets #2
The students wanted to explore the concept of “ghost net fishing”, so we set out to collect discarded fish nets for their work. We had to use “real” materials, because they carry sentimental values. But it also meant that we had to deal with uncertainty: three types of fishing nets were collected at different times, they were cage-traps, trammel-nets, and purse-nets. We ended up with two pieces of work for “Ghost Nets”.
This work is a recount of an actual murder: large sea animals are trapped by discarded fishing nets, only hunger and death await them. Purse-nets are used in Ghost Nets #2, they are retrieved from the deep sea by divers. Plastic take-away boxes and supermarket vegetable-boxes are also used to cover the animals’ bodies.

Microplastics
Sadly, an overwhelming amount of plastic pollution isn’t even visible to the human eye, with much of the pollution occurring on a microscopic level. Plastic debris that are less than five millimeters in length are called “microplastics.” As an emerging field of study, a lot of research is currently underway to uncover the impact of microplastics on the marine food chain.
During the research phase of this project, we came across a video footage recorded under a microscope, that showed us how microplastics entered the body of a zooplankton. This important piece of “evidence” inspired us to unveil the process of microplastics being carried up the food chain, and ultimately entered the human body.

Confusion
Like many other marine animals, sea turtles mistake plastic waste for a viable food source, which causes blockages in their digestive system. Students are shocked to see the reality of sea turtles, sea birds and whales etc., dying because of plastic ingestion.
“Confusion” is a narrative about how the little sea turtle is unable to distinguish between jelly fish and floating plastic bags, and is utterly unaware of the deadly decision he is about to make. The moral of the story is: if we try to see the ocean from the turtle’s perspective, maybe we’d have more empathy towards other living creatures with whom we share the planet.
