C5CNM·展览 | 杜文婷《想要走向黎明，就得穿上拖鞋》| 策展人 : 姚斯青
C5CNM高兴的宣布我们将于3月2日举办杜文婷个人项目《想要走向黎明，就得穿上拖鞋》，此次展览由姚斯青策展，届时将展出14余件绘画作品与特定场域装置。展览将持续至4月1日。
我设想…
我设想这是一个焦灼的凶案现场，是情绪遗留的能量场在重新排演，线索们错落有致地冒出了头，以试图搬动过去几年被压缩得又低又扁的日常…
我设想是《Kubali》1封底上的逗号跑掉了，它逃到《Shit Rabbit》2的中间，就形成了这次项目的英文标题，在读音上更加清晰地传递出了咬牙切齿的节奏感。和它相呼应的中文是一个居家照片合集的名称：“想要走向黎明，就得穿上拖鞋”3。上述这一切，大部分都来自于杜文婷已创造过的，在公众号上分享过的：她在2022年上海的经历、心理状态、画作和延伸。在这个项目里，策展人的作用非常小，是观察、挪用和拼贴式的，使艺术家过往的工作成果得以简约地空间化，形成一个超文本的洞窟，让它们发挥一种互相注释的松散叙事性。这种方式既来自于艺术家的创作特点本身，也来自于深深影响了她的绘本和漫画媒介；而这种图像叙事值得关注，恰恰因为在这里，一切的破案都像是臆断。在不同的作品间，是漫反射的、无关联过渡的、在不同感官表面上流窜、无穷变形之物，从而成功地逃逸于概念和逻辑之外。它不仅仅保持开放，也极其尊重观者的能动性，善意地期待“知觉封闭”4和“通感”5同时发生的神奇力量。
用艺术家自己的话说，她好奇并探究“引起注意力的普通事物”6，那么，它注定是一种心理化的空间，所有的质感、符号、比例关系都与实际无关而与感触相关。在善于从文学、音乐、漫画中广泛吸收养分的艺术家看来，它们可能是变得很小而迈不开的脚，是小得容不下头颅的床榻，是掺了沙子而变得粗粝的墙，是红辣椒炸裂的火热…是屎兔子这种行动力极度受限的低级生物的日常，穿着拖鞋走向阳台上的日出。
我设想，你来到了这里，借观看以讲述自己的故事。
Curatorial Notes
Writer/Yao Siqing
I imaging…
I imaged this as a burning murder scene, an energy field of emotional legacies rearranging itself, clues popping up irregularly in an attempt to move the compressed and flattened daily routine of the past four years...
I imaged the comma on the back cover ofKubali 【1】escaping to the middle of Shit Rabbit 【2】to form the project's English title, which conveys a clearer sense of gnashing rhythm in its pronunciation. In Chinese, it echoes the title of a collection of everyday mobile phone photos: “To walk toward the dawn, you must put your slippers on”【3】. Much of all of the above comes from what Du Wenting has already created and shared on her WeChat Official Accounts: her experiences, mental states, paintings……as the extensions of Shanghai 2022. In this project, my role as a curator is very minimal, observational, appropriative and collage-like, enabling the minimalist spatialization of the results of the artist's past work into a hypertextual cavern, allowing them to play out a kind of loose narrativity that annotates each other. This approach derives both from the artist's creative identity itself and from the illustrated and comic book mediums that have deeply influenced her; and this pictorial narrative deserves to be noticed because it is here that everything that breaks down seems like conjecture. Between the different works are diffuse, unrelated transitions, things that run over the surfaces of the different senses, endlessly morphing, and thus succeeding in escaping from concepts and logic. It is not only open, but also extremely respectful of the viewer's mobility, kindly anticipating the magical power of “the Principle of Closure”【4】and “Synaesthesia”【5】occurring at the same time.
In the artist's own words, she is curious about and inquires into "ordinary things that attract attention"【6】, so it is destined to be a mentalized space, where all the textures, symbols and proportions have nothing to do with reality and everything to do with sensation. To an artist who has absorbed a wide range of nutrients from literature, music, and comics, they might be feet that have become too small to move, a bed that is too small to hold a head, a wall that has become coarse with sand, the heat of a red pepper explosion... the daily life of a lower species with extremely limited mobility like a shit bunny, walking in his slippers to the sunrise on the balcony.
I imaging that you come here and lent your eyes in order to tell your own story.
