胡为一，《无痕》，影像装置，95x170x20 cm，2019
在此次的创作中，胡为一将社会生活中稀松平常的日常起居片段纳入镜头，如未装上窗户的空旷大楼、夜间闪烁的万家灯火、被枯枝包围的荒野信号灯、晾满衣物的奇幻大楼等等看似平常却又充满怪异色彩的城市景观。他们平静而客观的存在着，但又突如其来地遭受来自其他日常物的强行干预，诸如遮挡、夺取、叫停以及清洗等等具体行径。可这些行径并未产生任何后果，干预的反作用力又被作用于其自身，就这样它们彼此相互舞蹈，像一场没有意义的虚无游戏。这种虚无伴随的无力感也倒映出了城市中每个个体的生命状态，一边期待权力可以赋予规范且标准化的生活模式，却又无法抑制自我内在的欲望暗涌。城市是权力和欲望的混合体，它使每个生存其中的个体都无法摆脱这两极带来的引力拉扯。这是场注定会筋疲力尽的都市舞蹈，每一个生存对象都被卷入其中，成为了权力关系链中密不可分的组成部分，并朝着同一方向模式化地输出自身。胡为一的创作正是以这样充满矛盾和撕扯的现实生活为背景，通过对城市中不同对象的生存姿态的捕捉，丰富地呈现了一场荒谬的现代都市寓言，完成了其私人欲念在层层高楼中的释放。

HdM GALLERY Beijing Space is delighted to present our forthcoming exhibition ‘The Window Blind’, a solo show of artist Hu Weiyi. This is Hu’s first cooperation with HdM GALLERY and his second solo show in Beijing after his solo show at the UCCA. The exhibition will showcase 10 new works, including videos, installations and photographies. It will open on March 11th and last until June 15th 2019.
About the Exhibiton
Hu Weiyi’s works involve multiple facets, and he is apt at combining various media in his works, especially photography, video and installation. The works in the exhibition were all produced this year; he regards the urban space he lives in as his main source of inspiration, and he taps into the core of the cultural development of our society with a unique approach, thus making the work turn to more tridimensional and advanced social discussions.
Hu Weiyi, Spring Breeze, photograph, ultra giclee, 40x30 cm, 2019
In this exhibition, Hu Weiyi brought everyday social scenes into his lense, including spacious buildings with half-open windows, twinkling city illuminations, aggressive traffic lights surrounded by withered tree branches, strange buildings with clothes hanging out etc.; they form ordinary yet strange urban landscapes. Landscapes that exist calmly and objectively, but are unexpectedly subjected to the forced intervention of other daily objects, such as blockage, seizure, obstruction, cleaning and so on. But these actions have no consequences, they are an end unto themselves, so that they dance with each other, like a meaningless game of vacuity. This sense of powerlessness, concomitant with nothingness, also reflects the existential state of each individual in the city. People endure a power that can integrate a rule and a standardized lifestyle, though they are not capable of suppressing their inner desire. The city is a mixture of power and desire, which makes it impossible for each living individual to be rid of the gravitational pull of these two poles. It is an exhausted urban dance in which each living object is involved, and becomes an indispensable interconnection of the hierarchy, systematically exporting itself to the same process. Hu Weiyi’s creations are based on such a tension of contradictions and tears: he presents a grotesque modern city fable by capturing the living posture of different objects in the city, thus incorporating his private desire on high-rise buildings.
Hu Weiyi, born in 1990 in Shanghai, graduated from the China Academy of Art in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree, then studied at the School of Intermedia Art, the China Academy of Art, and received a master's degree in 2016. He now lives and works in Shanghai. His work has been exhibited by numerous institutions and galleries including The Helmhaus Zürich, Yuz Museum, Power Station of Art, Long Museum, MoCA Shanghai, Guang Dong Times Museum, Minsheng Art Museum, CAFA Art Museum, Hong Kong Arts Centre, etc. He was nominated for the 2nd Art Sanya Huayu Youth Award in 2014.
