银川当代美术馆将于2023年4月15日至7月18日荣幸呈现展览“水之回响”。
千万年来，黄河孕育了文明，也在诉说着自己绵长的故事。本次展览试图通过艺术语言的表达和作品的呈现，此动彼应，得到黄河文化精神内涵的感应和反馈。藉由截取自不同文化和历史维度的阐发，并将其糅合于黄河畔的展厅空间中持续共振，继而引发河的回声。展览通过每位艺术家微观的视角共同组建一条抽象的长河，观众踱步于这条河边，或许会让渡出熟悉的观看模式，跨越时空与圈层的桎梏，进而聆听到消弭了语言与视角隔阂的水之回响。

展览分为两个版块，一为“对话”，聚焦于黄河流域非物质文化遗产“皮影”与“剪纸”这两种为人熟知又令人着迷的元素。除了展出珍贵的清朝皮影作品原件、国家级非遗传承大师汪天稳的“汪氏皮影”作品，以及民间工艺大师、“剪花娘子”库淑兰难得一见的剪纸原作之外，还邀请与汪天稳合作超过十五年的著名当代艺术家邬建安，以及90后顶级剪纸艺术家陈粉丸，在展厅中开启民间美术与当代艺术的对话，试图在紧密地交流中，触发对话与质询，如渚水同流般在差异化中寻找同一性。展现传统艺术是如何被代代传承，又是如何与当代艺术产生碰撞和融合。

二为“临水”，逐水而居，择水而憩，是人类自古至今生存与发展所遵循的基本规则。“临水”有两层含义，一指靠近、接近水源，意为艺术家来到了黄河之滨，河水之畔，也暗示了银川当代美术馆邻（黄河）水而建的特点；二为“面临”，以面对水的具象外形为始，体察水的灵动多变，进而延伸到探寻文明发源和人文演变，直到当下采集水文数据和绘制声波图像。同样的“临水”，古今有别，因人而异，却恰因不同视角所致的观察理解与表达呈现，才有这般多维的作品汇集，才有这一次次直击生命内涵的“水之回响”。
本版块将呈现艺术家蔡雅玲、陈抱阳、陈琦、陈淑霞、翟一涛、桑火尧、王绍强、张海超&李琨、张克纯、张小涛&张无量、限像工作室、Onformative工作室的作品，基于艺术家对河的观察和临水的体验，展出包括新媒体、数字艺术、摄影、绘画等多种形式的作品，或描摹河流形态，或关注生态保护，或徜徉上古神话、或呈现“水”与他们生活的关联，及其带给他们的思考和触动……不一而足。

时至今日，“水”已不独以物质形态出现，它能够化身为数据、公式、算法、编码等一系列可操作、可编辑的数字语言，展览由此发散展开。我们希望创建一个不仅仅是可视的，而是可思、可感、可知的场域，在此聚集的人们犹如站在水波之中，从自身向外一圈圈地泛起涟漪。展览以黄河为出发点，却不局限于此，而是延伸为对天下之水的关怀。“天下之水汇归一宗”，通过艺术家个体经验的汇流，或找寻传统、或关注生态、或游走山水之间……我们得以在这“水”中照见彼此，“回响”也在这汇流产生的碰撞中生发。
展览将于2023年4月15日至7月18日展出，
敬请期待！

Museum of Contemporary Art Yinchuan (MOCA Yinchuan) is honored to present the exhibition Echo of Water from April 15 to July 18, 2023.
For thousands of years, the Yellow River has been nurturing human civilization and telling its own profound stories. With expression of artistic languages and the presentation of works and their resonances, this exhibition wants to gather the response and feedback of the spiritual connotation of the Yellow River culture. By capturing the interpretation of different cultural and historical dimensions, and incorporating them into the continuous resonance of the exhibition space alongside the Yellow River, it would like to raise the echo of the river. Every microscopic perspective of each artist would become a part of an abstract river. The audience, pacing along this river, may abandon their familiar approaches for appreciating exhibitions, transcend the shackles of time, space and social groups, and then hear the echo of water that eliminate the estrangement between language and perspective.

The exhibition is divided into two sections. This first section Dialogue focuses on two well-known and fascinating elements of the intangible cultural heritage of the Yellow River Basin--shadow play and paper cutting. In addition to the precious original works of shadow play of Qing Dynasty; Wangshi Shadow Play by national-level inheritor of intangible heritage Wang Tianwen; and the rare paper cutting originals by folk craft master Ku Shulan; the exhibition also invites Wu Jian’an, a famous contemporary artist who has cooperated with Wang Tianwen for more than 15 years, and Chen Fenwan, a top paper cutting artist born in the 1990s to conduct a dialogue between folk art and contemporary art in the exhibition hall. In this way, MOCA Yinchuan would like to raise dialogue and inquiry in close communication, seeking for identity in differences like a torrent of water. It will demonstrate how traditional art is passed down from generation to generation, and how it impacts on and integrates with contemporary art.

The second section is Waterfront. Living by water and choosing water for rest is the basic rule that human beings have followed for survival and development since ancient times. In this exhibition, “waterfront” carries two meanings. One is close to the water source, as artists have come to the bank of the Yellow River while MOCA Yinchuan is built near the river as well. The second is facing the water, which begins with the concrete shape of water and appreciating its agility and changefulness, and then extends to exploring the origin of civilization and human evolution, collecting hydrological data and drawing acoustic images at present day. What “waterfront” conveys actually is different in ancient and modern times and varies from people to people. However, it is precisely because of the various observations, understandings and expressions by various perspectives that such multi-dimensional works are collected and the “echo of water” that continuous strikes directly at the connotation of life.
This sections will present the works of Cai Yaling, Chen Baoyang, Chen Qi, Chen Shuxia, Zhai Yitao, Sang Huoyao, Wang Shaoqiang, Zhang Haichao & Li Kun, Zhang Kechun, Zhang Xiaotao & Zhang Wuliang, Limage Studio and onformative Studio. Based on the artists’ observations of rivers and experiences along the water, the exhibition presents new media, digital art, photography, painting and other forms of works, which either depict the form of rivers, focus on ecological protection, wander through ancient myths, or show the connection between “water” and the lives of artists, as well as thoughts and sentiments brought about by the water...

Today, “water” appears not only in the form of material, but can be transformed into a series of operable and editable digital languages such as data, formulas, algorithms and coding, which also inspired us in curating this exhibition. We want to create a field that is not only visible, but can be thought of, felt, and known, where people gather as if they are standing in a wave of water which rippled outward from themselves. While drawing inspiration from the Yellow River, we shall not be limited to this, but extend our concerns to all the waters on Earth. As all the waters of the world shall converge into one, we would like to integrate the individual experiences of artists, and provide a platform for them to seek traditions, pay attention to ecology, or walk among mountains and rivers...We shall finally see each other in this water, and echoes are born in the encounters of this confluence.
The exhibition runs from April 15th
to July 18th, 2023. Stay tuned !
