艾恩自二零零零年起开始定居中国北京,这里俨然已经成了他的第二故乡。这座巨大的城市每天都会带来新鲜的挑战,而这也让艾恩改变了对于生活和创作的理解及态度。在艾恩看来,这些挑战就像是一场永不落幕的盛宴,使他的创作嗅觉日益灵敏。
Arnd Christian Müller lives and works in Beijing, China, since 2000, making Beijing his longest uninterrupted place of residence. The challenges of everyday life in this megacity change perception and attitude on life and creativity. Arnd experiences it as a never-ending feast for his ever-alert creativity.
艾恩:
“对我来说,它们反映了现代生活。
每天工作,忙碌而又积极。每一个都在这有机的整体里扮演自己的角色,只是分工不同而已。每天重复同样的动作,一起一落,无数遍的敲打。起床、咖啡、工作、晚餐、入睡。反反复复,周而复始。
当我们老了、累了,幸运的人可以停止工作,颐养天年。有的身上可能留下了更多岁月的痕迹,可也有些还是完好无损,保留着最初制造抛光后的美丽…
但可以确定,它们老了,我们也老了。不容否认。
但它们产生的声音,那样平和圆润,毫不造作,和谐融洽。
这就像我们年迈后所诉说的故事。虽然音量不同,美丑不一,长短各异,但这合声却讲述着人类的故事。
不管我们曾经历过何种痛苦,这声音依旧如此美妙动听。”
"To me they reflect modern life.
Working every day, being busy and active. Some more than others, every single one a different task in this organic system we are part of. Making the same movements every day, up and down, hitting the material and back again. Getting out of bed, coffee, work, dinner, and back in bed again. Up and down, up and down.
And then, when we are old and exhausted, some of us are lucky enough to retire. Some show more signs of the work they've done during their lives. Others still perfectly intact, whether natural beauty or injected, polished, fixed, repaired…
It's still clear they're old, we're old. You can't deny.
But the sounds they make, are peaceful, accomplished, done, no hectic, just harmony.
The stories we tell when we're old sound the same. Some louder, more exciting, uglier, more beautiful or longer than others, but in harmony they form the story of mankind.
And it sounds beautiful despite all of the individual misery we went through."
关于艺术家
About the Artist
Arnd Christian Muller的作品既是室内设计也是艺术,都是关于极简主义和对日常物品安排的微妙美感的意识。他将简单、熟悉的物品转移到新的环境或环境中,使我们对它们的感知超越了它们最初的意义。通常情况下,当一件物品让Arnd着迷时,他会赋予它新的生命,让它成为更重要的集体整体的一个元素。在选择简单的技巧时,他在已知与未知,简单与复杂之间创造了明显的张力。时尚潮流永远不会被遵循,因为理念、手势、材料和空间的长寿是设计师和艺术家最重要的信条。用户或观察者容易地与最熟悉的环境或物体连接。然而,新的解释往往令人惊讶,并邀请体验新旧意识之间的紧张关系。这部作品涉及价值的相对性和创造力的价值。这是一种对整体如何超越各种因素的总和的视觉化。
Arnd Christian Müller’s work is in both, Interior design and art, all about minimalism and the awareness of subtle beauty in arrangements of everyday objects. He transfers simple, familiar items into new surroundings or contexts and our perception of them transcends their original meaning. Typically, when an object catches Arnd's fascination, he gives it a new life as an element of a more important collective whole. In choosing simple techniques, he creates a manifest stress between the known and the un-known, between simplicity and complexity. Fashion trends are never followed as longevity of ideas, gestures materials and space is the most important credo for the Designer and Artist. The user or observer easily connects with the mostly well-known surroundings or objects. The new interpretation however is often surprising and invites to experience the tension between an old and a newer awareness. The work deals with the relativity of value and the value of creativity. It is a visualization of how the whole becomes more than the sum of the elements.
