OCAT上海馆  |  新展预告

OCAT上海馆将于2019年10月19日搬迁至新址，同时荣幸推出新馆首展“张鼎：高速形式”。展览“高速形式”将在OCAT上海馆新空间内呈线性单一走向，回顾张鼎在十五年创作时间内出现过的数个重要主题及意象，持续发展艺术家长期个人创作及合作创作的核心因素：运动，以及“情绪雕塑”。展览将以带有戏谑意味的方式呈现在公路上高速行驶的动态景象。完整的带护栏赛道铺设在整个展览空间内，而在其中游荡、“竞速”的，是经过改装的电驱动代步车。传统观展运动——行走——在很大程度上被如义肢一般运作的“乘坐”或“驾驶”运动所替代；“观看”因此也变得不同：被加速了的身体运动及被重新协调的观者-作品距离，让观看变得模糊。清醒的、貌似自带批判意味的“审视”被高速公路上模糊不清的“一瞥”代替。另一方面，代表高速度及高科技结晶的赛车被缓速、于室内使用的轮椅所替代，指示了速度与灾难、死亡的联系，稀缺能源与“奥德赛”式英雄主义运动的矛盾，也指示了在当代世界，在愈发紧密而复杂的肉身-精神-机器关系中，不同的速度带来的撕裂经验。

驾驶是一种再日常不过的当代现实：无论是在乐观的、仍在积极进行大型基础设施建设的、有着明显加速主义意味的社会、经济、文化背景下，还是在显得更为疲惫的、因“人类纪”的暗淡未来、出于跨国石油资本主义对环境造成的负面影响等原因而忧心忡忡乃至有意放慢脚步、鼓吹“回归原始”的语境中，驾驶实践及速度都扮演了重要的角色。以“车”及“航天器”为极端代表的载具的意义及发展史，亦是近年科技考古学的重要议题之一。非人类情绪——诸如汽车、马或犀牛的情绪与冲动——也再一次成为了重要而迫切需要探索的问题。展览以貌似亲近加速主义理论及现实的方式强调运动及速度，将“情绪雕塑”实体化为观众与泛滥于全球视觉文化的商业广告语言之间的关系，将高速行驶经验抽象化为黑暗前路、刺目广告牌、如人体骨骼一般的道路标识的同时，以一种具象的方式提出了一种别样速度现实。

张鼎，1980年生于甘肃，生活工作于上海，是在国际当代艺术界最为活跃的中国艺术家之一。他常创作的大型机械装置作品具有强烈整体性：主题、形式元素与诸多作品部分的紧密联系让他的展览看起来不是众多互相独立作品的横向陈列，而是一件结构缜密、纵向构筑的巨大作品。他曾通过惊人的、有某种新粗暴主义意味的空间装置将美术馆空间转变为华丽而荒诞的囹圄；在互不相干、相距甚远的展览空间之间搭建观念性桥梁；邀请众多风格迥异的乐队、声音艺术家在舞台上同时进行演出，扭曲并压缩声音、影像、空间——在展览现场发生的，往往不是创作成果，而是艺术创作过程。

OCAT Shanghai  |  New Exhibition

OCAT Shanghai will move to the new location. At the meantime, OCAT Shanghai is honored to present its inaugural exhibition, Zhang Ding: High-Speed Forms. The exhibition at the OCAT Shanghai re-evaluates the Modernist legacy of linearity, revisits a number of important subjects and motifs in the artist’s 15 years of practise, and further develops the core elements of movements, motions, and emotional or atmospheric sculptures. Presented in the exhibition is a highway-speedy spectacle in various playful forms, made available in everyday context as one drives: a complete race track occupies the whole of the museum space; hovering, racing, speeding, is a number of modified electronic wheelchairs. Movement of walking is here replaced by that of riding or driving that operates in a prosthetic fashion; the sped relationship between the viewer and the spatial distances therefore largely blurs the act of seeing. Clear-headed, critical scrutinisation is here replaced with a hurried, careless glance. On the other hand, somewhat paradoxically, substituting substantially technological and speedy race cars with slow wheelchairs that are remotely controlled, the exhibition addresses the torn bodily-spiritual-mechanical experience brought by a chaos of different speeds in the contemporary society.

Driving is one of the most common experiences today. In either an optimistic, accelerationist reality of large-scale infrastructural constructions and superstructural developments, or a pessimistic version of the doomed future of the Anthropocene, where the conquering global Petro-Capitalism constantly threatens the public to defend themselves with archaic, alternative means and mentalities, the act of driving and speeding in various forms plays a central role of import. Pertinent is the recent development of the archaeology of modern technologies, and its study of the history of vehicles from cars to spacecrafts; also urgent and relevant, is the re-emergence of non-human intelligence and emotions - from cars to horses and rhinoceros alike. By focusing on and dealing with the reality of motions and speeds, High-Speed Forms transforms driving experiences into dark races, blinding large billboards, road sign skeletons, and proposes a reality of alternative speeds.

Zhang Ding, born in 1980 in Gansu Province, based in Shanghai, is one of the most active and influential Chinese artists in the international art scene. His large-scale installations are often total in nature; the integrated and meticulously structured relationships between given motifs and formal elements bring various components together into an architectural totality. From a New Brutalist gesture that locks down a museum space, turning it into a prison; a conceptual and physical staircase between different project spaces in downtown Beijing; a series of gigs over a period of fortnight at the ICA London, inviting bands and musicians to improvise one next to another, compressing and distorting sounds, images and spaces, Zhang Ding presents and deals with live processes and experiences.
