对于一位欧洲策展人来说，看段建宇的画，一直会萌生关于理解的可能性的疑问。她的画作，本身都带着谜。但这只是一个方面，在另一方面，它们以各种方式与各种观看者进行沟通，并提问：在今天这个全球化意象的世界中，不同文化的图像之间到底有多少意义可被传递？今日的中国绘画正身处各种绘画及视觉文化的范畴之间，其中包括中国传统，西方及现代主义传统的各种挪用，还有最新的东方范式等。如今，视觉世界好比一面破碎的镜子，绘画则使之更显不可思议。观看段建宇的画，让我想起我的同胞保罗·策兰的诗，两者同样满带谜题。策兰成功将特殊的事件和个人独有的际遇转化成一种普世的诗意。因此，我们应该进行这样的实验：用另一种语境去解读面前的图像和隐喻，就好比用另一道谜题去解读这一道谜题。
——彼得·帕克什
策展人彼得·帕克什通过对艺术家段建宇的创作研究，选择她自2014年至今的九件作品，构成即将呈现于新世纪当代艺术基金会上海池社空间的艺术家个展“自动写作-自动阅读”。除了呈现段建宇绘画自身的魅力，策展人从欧洲学者的角度，敏锐地捕捉到段建宇的绘画和德语诗人保罗·策兰的诗歌之间的相通之处，即由个体的处境引申出语言和现实之间如何发生诗意的转换，为我们理解艺术家的创作打开了新的通道。

Automatic Writing - Automatic Understanding
2020.9.5-2020.10.31
Opening: 2020.9.5 15:00
Artist: Duan Jianyu
Curator: Peter Pakesch
Opening Hours: Tue.-Sun. 11: 00-17: 00
Add: Pond Society, NO. 2555-4, Longteng Avenue, Shanghai
For a curator from Europe looking at the paintings of Duan Jianyu means always questioning the possibility of understanding. These paintings all carry, per se, a certain enigma with them. But that’s one side, the other one is that they are communicating with the spectators in different aspects. They pose questions about how much meaning can be transferred between images of different cultures, even in a world of global imagery as today’s. If today’s Chinese painting has a very special position within the world’s visual cultures, the paintings of Duan Jianyu show this even more strongly and in the experience of high visual ambivalence. Today’s Chinese painting can be found between very different realms of painting and visual culture: the old Chinese traditions, different appropriations of western and modern traditions, a new eastern paradigm. Broken mirrors of visuality determine this work and contribute to further enigmas. By looking at these paintings, the curator is reminded of the poems of his compatriot Paul Celan, highly enigmatic in themselves. A poet who succeeded in transcending a highly specific experience and personal situation into a universal gesture of poetics. Thus becoming a paradigmatic figure. Therefore an experiment shall be performed to read one enigma by the other. To understand one set of images and metaphors in the context of the other.
- Peter Pakesch
Nine works from 2014 to the present by artist Duan Jianyu, selected by curator Peter Pakesch after long time research, constitute the artist's solo exhibition "Automatic Writing-Automatic Understanding" to be presented at the New Century Art Foundation's Shanghai space, Pond Society. In addition to highlighting the appeals of Duan Jianyu's paintings, the curator, with the perspective of a European scholar, keenly captures the similarities between Duan's paintings and the poetry of the German poet Paul Celan, that is, the lyrical transformation between language and reality derived from the individual's situation, which opens a new channel for us to understand the artist's practice.
