蜂巢当代艺术中心荣幸地宣布，将于2021年11月27日至2022年1月20日推出二零二一年底群展“一双：新亚裔艺术家的双重系统”。本次展览由蜂巢策展人杨鉴、于非共同策划，特别邀请了全球范围内的27位新锐亚裔艺术家在全展厅呈现他们的最新创作。

在宣告“历史的终结”三十年后，福山以亚裔美籍学者的身份在《身份政治：对尊严与认同的渴求》一书中重拾了身份政治在全球范围内所带来的困境与机遇。艺术世界无疑面对着相同的处境：我们应当以何种方式确立怎样的主体性？亚洲艺术本身裹挟了错综复杂的地缘政治与其间并行不悖的艺术史谱系，而亚裔艺术家在全球范围所分别投身的不同文化语境更是让这种复杂性呈几何式递增，可以说从未存在一个绝对统一的身份立场。因此从某种意义上来讲，讨论亚裔艺术家的前提是去承认一种虚拟的主体性，以及去构建一个“想象的共同体”。

此次展览所设定的主题“一双”可以被看作一条抽象化的线索，牵引出当下年轻一代亚裔艺术家的创作机制，犹如程序世界的1与0，基于绝对个性化的主体意识延展出无限可能，在各自原生背景身份的堡垒上洞开各自的出口，由此导向每个个体独树一帜的创作路径。他们的共性在于面对艺术世界能够轻装上阵，对于身份的历史、媒介的历史、图像的历史、观念的历史没有不必要的包袱与顾忌。他们每个人都身处一个移动中的坐标系，在多线程的坐标矩阵中也许彼此之间并不发生直接的交流，却在万物互联的时空介质中相互依存、紧密相连。与此同时，“一双”所企图通过每个艺术家的一对或一组作品呈现的是个体所独有的语境和上下文。如同每个细胞都会携带一个生命体完整的基因组，每个艺术家的作品集合就像是一个微缩景观，或隐或显地展示了一个艺术家的全部可能性。他们或是选择以两件作品互为补充地构成在观念上与视觉上的一个整体，或是单单以一件作品展现内部的互文关系；他们既能够以同一系列的作品进行视觉语言上的加强与递进，也可以在有视觉表达差异化的作品之间建立某种深层次的共通属性。基于艺术家们所选择的在作品之间与作品内部构成的各不相同的对话关系，其背后的创作逻辑也犹如一段视觉代码在空间中被定格与记录。

对于新一代的亚裔艺术家来说，超越地域的文化身份已然成为他们的共识与日常。现实中的艺术世界越发变得如同一场虚拟游戏。艺术家们置身其中将出场身份变成原始素材，用创作的方法论筛选并构建他们的皮肤，属性，与人设，以此作为在全球艺术网络中自由穿梭的通行证。他们所做的每一个选择都不会是空穴来风，而是与内在的自我形成时时刻刻的相互对照，就这样在这个日趋割裂与离散的时代里维系着一个不停拆分和重组的自我，并不断完成着对这一自我的维护，升级，与超越。

Hive Center for Contemporary art is honored to announce the group exhibition “A Couple of: The Dual-mechanism of the New Generation of Asian Artists” , from November 27, 2021 to January 20, 2022. Co-curated by Yang Jian and Yu Fei, the exhibition features 27 cutting-edge Asian artists from around the world, presenting their most resent works.

Thirty years after declaring “the end of history”, Francis Fukuyama as an Asian American scholar, reconsiders the dilemmas and opportunities triggered by identity politics on a global scale in his book Identity: The Demand for Dignity and the Politics of Resentment. The art world is undoubtedly encountering the same situation: What kind of subjectivity should we establish? And in what way? Asian art itself situates within the complex geopolitics and the corresponding pedigree of art history, and the complexity has increased geometrically with different cultural contexts in which Asian artists are engaged on a global scale. Therefore, there is never an absolutely unified identity nor stance. In a sense, the premise of discussing Asian artists is to recognize a virtual subjectivity and to construct an “imagined community”.

The theme of this exhibition, A Couple of, could be taken as an abstract clue that elicits the creating mechanism of young generation of Asian artists. Just like 1 and 0 in the world of programming – infinite possibilities are generated based on completely individualized subject consciousness, and there are different ways out for different original backgrounds and identities. Therefore, each individual ends up with one-of-a-kind approach to art practice. Moreover, Their commonality lies in the fact that they are able to face the art world lightly, without unnecessary burdens and scruples regarding the history of identity, the history of the medium, the history of images and the history of concepts. While each of them is in a coordinate system, they may not communicate directly with each other in the multi-threaded coordinate matrix, but they are interdependent and closely linked in the interconnected medium of space and time. At the same time, A Couple of attempts to present the unique background and context of individuals through each artist's pair or group of works. Just as each cell is the carrier of the complete genome of a living organism, the oeuvre of each artist can be viewed as a miniature that either implicitly or explicitly reveals the full range of an artist's possibilities. They can either put two complementary pieces together to form a conceptual and visual whole, or reveal the intertextuality between two parts of a single piece; they are able to reinforce and advance the works of one series in the visual language, or to establish a deep commonality between works that differ in visual expression. As the artists have different dialogic relationships formed between works or components of a work, the creative logic that underlies each is captured and recorded in the space as a visual code.

For this new generation of Asian artists, a cultural identity that transcends geography has become their common sense and part of their daily life. The art world in real life is getting more and more like a virtual game. The artists are in a position to turn their identity into raw material, using creative methodologies to filter and construct their skins, attributes, and personas as a passport to move freely through the global art network. Each decision they make is forming a constant contrast with the inner self. In this way, they maintain the self that keeps dismantling and reorganizing in this increasingly fragmentary and dispersive age, and never stop preserving, upgrading, and transcending it.
