艺术家 | About the Artist
▼
乌拉·冯·勃兰登堡(Ulla von Brandenburg, b.1974)是一名德国艺术家,1974年生于卡尔斯鲁厄,2005年起生活和工作于巴黎。学生年代,她在卡尔斯鲁厄接受置景艺术训练并曾于剧场工作,后于汉堡美术学院进修。冯·勃兰登堡的创作横跨多元材料及媒介(装置、电影、水彩、壁画、拼贴、行为表演等),其作品基于不同展览空间的独特性质展开创作且力求彼此呼应。
作为一名有深厚文学、艺术史、建筑史、心理分析、神秘学修养的置景大师,冯·勃兰登堡从秘教仪式、大众庆典、剧场传统等多个领域汲取灵感,以探索「当代社会文化结构」。她使用来自不同文化传统的面具、戏服、舞台美术及道具等,通过精细地融合现实及剧场形式,在象征层面超越常规习俗及既有权力关系。

“剧场”
Object works
“在创作时使用的织物材料让我得以改变、隐藏或妆点一个美术馆的白盒子空间,并因此转变相关联的价值体系及思想框架。我使用织物、布料等材料创造‘别处的空间’,也就是说,我尝试以此将我们引入其他世界中去...... 在一个既定空间中挂上帘幕,内部与外部、此世界与彼世界的关系就会变得模糊。而这种模糊性能够让我们反思自身。”
在大型织物装置的代表作品中,冯·勃兰登堡强调「图像」的两个层面:再现式框架结构的构建,以及人类身体在其中的参与性。她在今年早些时候的采访中也曾阐释过其中的两个重要理念:同质化(homogeneity)与异质化(heterogeneity)——同质化更多与传统图像的概念本身有关,举例来说即将16毫米胶片视作是一种图像的滤镜;而异质化则是把来自不同语境的材料及事物结合在一起的创作方法。
「连结」概念与其衍生出的观感行为「联想」——让观众或早或晚地意识到,事物之间或许存在某种必然关联的印象,是冯·勃兰登堡尤为重要的创作核心。眼前这些事物来自不同的领域,但共同构成了一个整体世界,组成了一个回响叙事。这也是织物拼贴作品传达的信息——缝合。
冯·勃兰登堡的另一件大型织物装置也完整地展示了艺术家的长期创作旨趣,揭示了艺术家对于轻便、可塑性强的织物的深厚兴趣。对于冯·勃兰登堡来说,制作织物的人类群体交易织物或发展织物技术的悠长历史值得我们进一步探究。此件大型织物装置在展览的五个区域蜿蜒生长,其中不乏艺术家过去曾使用的色彩斑斓的材料。每一个区域的织物以不定的几何属性呈现不同的功用或时间属性:行动、形象、仪式、夜晚及住所。
乌拉·冯·勃兰登堡的“剧院帘布”装置在不同展馆的环境下以介绍无声场景的主角,从物理上和隐喻上暗示着故事的起点。水晶球、游戏板和纸鸟等道具通过精心编排的电影在沉浸式空间中讲述自己的命运故事。欧洲剧院式的典型乐器,如面具、阴影和剪影轮廓,确实让人回想起巴洛克式的“现实世界”。
▼
“影像”
Media Art
在冯·勃兰登堡的许多影像作品中都讲述着各种虚构的故事,这些故事的灵感多来源于梦幻般的民俗传说。这些影片中出现的是一个个“微观社会”,就像是人类历史中的最后一个文明社会一样,艺术家纪录了这个社会的运行方式、价值体系,以及其面对外部世界时展现的开放、多变的形态。
冯·勃兰登堡以此反思大众审美、共同价值、人类社群等主题,并尝试废除公共与私密领域、专业实践与业余爱好、定居与游牧生活方式、自然与文化的二元对立关系。观众可在影像中感受失去、馈赠、传输、遗弃、逃逸等多种日常又不平凡的运动模式。
黑白影片作品《大街》讲述了一个男人闯入陌生村庄的故事。他在当地目睹了受村民社会互动习俗约束的仪式及行动。乌拉·冯·勃兰登堡在影片中塑造了一个由白帆布构成的虚构村庄群落环境,以完整未剪辑长镜头拍摄视角将摄影机转化为另一位“旁观者”,观察着众多演员的表演。
乌拉·冯·勃兰登堡:“他进入到了另一个世界,并尝试理解其中的那些看起来陌生、奇异的事件及行动。他就像是穿越了时间一样,但我们又不能确认当地究竟属于什么时间语境,众多事件构成的序列中也没有真实的时间发展过程。”
《合唱剧》中的人物就像是国际象棋棋盘上的棋子——祖父母、女儿及孙女——但他们的位置被一个外来者所干扰。此影像作品的叙事在一个超现实的环境中展开:画面前景中的白色方形地面被黑暗、静默的森林所环绕:无形的合唱团在不知何处吟唱。潜意识与意识相融——这是逝者之歌,抑或是生者的话语?演员们依次配合合唱团的延长,就像是被不同的声音占据着的身体一样。这谜一般的故事探索了跨代际关系中的时间流逝过程。
乌拉·冯·布兰登堡另一件影像作品以《有时是,有时不是》为标题,意指的是安东·契科夫的喜剧《普拉托诺夫》(Platonov,1880)。作品中的一位“老师”明确表达了社会缺乏原则等现象,而他本人感到深陷其中。 社会批评和改变生活的愿望也为许多当代艺术创作提供了原动力。 冯·勃兰登堡与契科夫将社会事件压缩至“拒绝或接受”的二元原则并由此建立了事物之间的基本联系:“有时候是,有时不是”。

“水彩”
Paintings
Elisabeth Dmitrieff, 2018, Watercolour on ancient paper, 39 3/8 x 31 1/2 in
Hedwig Dohm, 2018, Watercolour on ancient paper, 39 3/8 x 31 1/2 in
除典型代表作大型织物“剧场”和极具特色的叙事及抽象概念影片外,乌拉·冯·勃兰登堡还有许多让人惊叹的纸上水彩作品。这些作品大多描绘的是「剧场」中的各种人物,她们和冯·勃兰登堡的布料剧场有着相似的巴洛克气质,无论服装抑或姿态,这些人物即是“剧场的主人”,也是艺术家的灵感来源。

“世界是蓝色的”
Palais de Tokyo, Paris
此次东京宫个展之际,乌拉·冯·勃兰登堡构思了一个富有整体性的、不断演变的展览项目。项目的主要灵感来源为剧场艺术的当代实践、想象与传统。艺术家围绕“仪式性”这一概念——即探索个体与群体关系的可能性——讨论创造共同价值的积极及负面意义,邀请公众积极参与沉浸式的展览经验,与艺术家一同发展其长期艺术实践的数个核心主题、形式及形象:运动、舞台、色彩、音乐、织物......
展览现场:“乌拉·冯·勃兰登堡:世界是蓝色的”,东京宫,巴黎,2020年2月21日至2021年3月1日。摄影:Aurélien Mole
乌拉·冯·勃兰登堡常鼓励公众直接进入到作品内部,穿越由织物材料构成的屏障。此次展览也不例外:艺术家于展览入口处安放了大型绘画装置,其中心部位的巨大圆形穿透物就像是摄像机的光学镜头组件。这序章以开放的形态打破了戏剧传统中的“第四堵墙”概念,起到了引领观众进入沉浸色彩体验的作用,反映了艺术家青睐的创作材料的独特、脆弱性质。同时,这大型装置也迅速向观众揭示另一个或真实或虚构的宇宙的面貌。

“甜蜜盛宴”
Sweet Feast
Whitechapel Gallery, London
1973年1月28日,五百名儿童参观了伦敦白教堂画廊,以学习“糖果制作”这一流行艺术。 诱人的糖果展示品包括比利时的巧克力硬币、形状像艾菲尔铁塔的法国棒棒糖、德国的橡皮糖老鼠、荷兰的咖啡味霍普士糖、意大利的小杏仁饼水果、丹麦的咸甘草、约克郡的爱尔兰薄荷糖和太妃糖。 在当时,庆祝“欧洲享乐”(Fanfare for Europe)活动标志着英国进入了欧洲共同体市场。
回应这一历史,此次展览被名为“甜美盛宴”,参观者应邀品尝一些制造商捐赠的糖果。冯·勃兰登堡与阿纳姆码头小学的孩子们一起拍摄制作了同名影片,探索个人与集体之间的关系。在脱欧可能限制下一代各种机会的时刻,重新燃气年轻人的希望。
冯·勃兰登堡以表演剧场探索复杂的社会问题而闻名,她还设计了色彩缤纷的座椅结构,类似于风景,将观众变成了参与者。

Innen ist nicht Außen
Secession, Vienna
“里面不是外面”是乌拉·冯·勃兰登堡在奥地利的第一个个展,由Annette Südbeck策展。像她的其他作品一样,帘布是标志着从真实世界到剧院世界过渡的一种手段,这是一种由想象力、梦想和无意识统治的精神空间,空间和时间在这里无限延展。
