Mohemann是我2017年开始尝试在club放音乐时候给自己起的DJ名字,那时候我觉得我才听懂Techno音乐不久,尤其喜欢德国的Techno音乐,所以就取了一个德语的名字,Mohe只是我老家“漠河”的拼音写法而已,老家气温很冷,正好与我喜欢的音乐相吻合。结果踏上DJ的道路就越走越远了,“不务正业”了好多年了,一直想给被我疏远了的的艺术界一个交代,觉得在C5CNM的这次展览是个合适的机会。所以我想用我的DJ名字作为本次展览的题目,在这个空间中搬进一些工作室的设备和唱片,约一些时常在club中时常相遇的音乐人们,在这个艺术的场域聊聊天、分享一下音乐,这个空间便成为了一个Mohemann的客厅。(吕智强)

艺术家,毕业于中央美术学院实验艺术学院,2013年起,与北京著名电子音乐厂牌ShadowPlay的密切合作,将多年的视觉、听觉经验结合地下电子音乐场景进行创作。同时也将在地下电子音乐场景中获得的经验回馈到自己的艺术创作中。
创作擅长使用廉价的寻常之物、现成品等作为创作材料,因地制宜结合语境地进行创作。代表作品有《小屋》(2010)、《摩登太特美术馆》(2011)、《拾荒者》(2012)。近期创作关注声音这一物质材料,作品有《此外的交响》(宋庄美术馆,2014);《告诫》(安仁双年展,2017);个展《长路漫漫》(望远镜艺术家工作室,2019);DJ Mix曾收录于秦思源作品《园音》(UCCA,2019)中。即将开幕个展《Mohemann’living room》(C5CNM)。同时也是DJ, 化名Mohemann,选曲音乐类型跨越Ambient、Minimal、Techno、Deep、Dub、Hypnotic、Psychedelic、Experimental。偏爱冷静严肃的音乐,探索实验电子音乐与舞曲的创造性结合,关注音乐表达的深层的自我反思与自身体验,从而追寻有限时间线中,心灵与身体的无限自由。在过去几中,他在地下电子音乐场景中投入了极大的热情与精力,兼顾DJ、Promoter和厂牌运营等多重身份,目前主持Techno音乐活动厂牌、广播 “隧道 - Tunnel”,运营活动厂牌“海市蜃楼 Eerawai”和”Eerawai Ambient Series”,以及参与Minimal音乐活动“M.A.N.L”的策划。招待所(Zhao Dai)常驻DJ。2019年参与“城市回声 - 俱乐部文化-北京|柏林”项目,DJ set曾受邀发表于韩国“Oslated”,疫情期间参与线上直播活动“ TFYS48”。Soundcloud :https://soundcloud.com/lyuzhiqiangRA: https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/lyuzhi-qianghttps://v.qq.com/x/page/g3059k56orv.html (参与秦思源《音园》的DJ表演)https://v.qq.com/x/page/n0945o825mn.html (Studio Mix Set)https://v.qq.com/x/page/z0969qznxuu.html (TFYS48)
C5CNM是一个地处北京798艺术区的实验性艺术空间。长宽4.75 x 5.25米,挑高 3.5米,它小而独特的空间比例适合艺术家将展览整体视作一件作品去构想。
C5CNM的空间本身即是一件作品,有意违背了当代艺术展示空间中使用的中性和纯粹性的白盒子原则。艺术家金宁宁的设计是种交互性质的邀请,如同创造一个游戏环境。参展的艺术家需要考虑在他人的世界中实现自己意图,在合作或抗拒中找到新的展示方式。
今天的艺术可以是任何媒介和形式,更不回避矛盾的混合与身份叠加。如果这份自由是真诚的,它何尝不能成为一种新的展览方式的起点。C5CNM为这一开放性的实践增加了新的筹码:一个本身即是艺术作品的背景,与之后发生的一切在时间和空间中产生混合,成为新的一体,从而视觉体验被给予声学的特征。
空间从2019年春天开放以来,已呈现多个当代艺术展览和前卫音乐演出的项目,并以“画廊airbnb”的方式与非营利机构合作。我们希望对开放性的追求不止步于视觉艺术领域。C5CNM是一个可以7天24小时向公众开放的空间,来访者通过扫码发送请求索取当天的电子锁密码,获得随时进入展厅与作品相处权限。
C5CNM is an experimental space located in 798 Art District in Beijing. It measures 4.75 by 5.25 meters and 3.5 meters in ceiling height. Its modest though beautiful proportions invite artists to conceive an exhibition as one singular art work. C5CNM is an art work in itself, in violation of the modernist orthodoxy of the white box. The spatial design by artist Jin Ningning is an interactive invitation like a gaming environment, in which artists find themselves realizing their ideas inside another’s framework, necessarily improvising in compliance or resistance to given conditions.
The present interdisciplinary scope of art allows overlapping identities and combining opposites. That this freedom is genuine and can become the foundational principle of a new type of exhibition. C5CNM embraces this plasticity and offers a compelling proposal to raise the stakes. The gallery space is itself a multifaceted and transformational artwork that mixes with the different occurrences that take place within, giving visual experience also an “acoustic” complexity.
Since its opening in Spring 2019 C5CNM has transitioned between exhibition space, live performance venue, and “air b-n-b gallery” for non-profits, and it is open to many more interpretations (functions). We hope this quest for unlimited freedom will attract creative individuals or collaboratives from beyond the field of visual art to produce works. We can not anticipate the forms this may take, but only look forward.
C5CNM is free and open to the public 24/7. Visitors may enter the space by acquiring the electronic lock combination any time of the day or night and are welcome to spend time alone with the work.
