外交公寓12号空间荣幸的宣布，建筑师、艺术家梁琛个人项目《1976/2020》将于11月21日下午3点开幕。
梁琛继续使用其空间催眠的工作方法，试图与外交公寓12号这栋建筑在时间和空间上进行潜意识层面的对话，进而实现时间与空间两组切片。外交公寓12号楼于1976年4月建成，梁琛选取了北京同时期建成的几栋建筑：北京饭店改造，1974；许家务大队新村住宅，1976；天坛东里南区高层壁板住宅，1977，将其每户的平面图以物质化的方式在外交公寓12号的展览空间地面1：1嵌套并置；在2020这个建筑边界明显被加深的分水岭上，我们希望打开房门，让整栋建筑的这一户型空间都变为作品的一部分，并且在八层082号集中混杂式的呈现。
梁琛
建筑师，艺术家
1987生于辽宁省丹东市，毕业于吉林建筑工程学院，获建筑学学士。曾长期工作于直向建筑，任理事；作为项目建筑师完成阿那亚三联海边图书馆（“孤独图书馆”）、北京白塔寺四合院更新等项目。2014、2016作为助教完成清华大学建筑学院开放设计教学：“光的空间”（董功组）。2017年开始独立建筑与艺术实践，成立工作室：阿莱夫时空研究所。2019年与独立策展人孙冬冬成立当代艺术策展小组：空间研究所。现工作生活于北京。代表建筑作品：众方纪，额尔古纳，2017-2019。近期个展：梁琛：阿莱夫，2019，A4美术馆，成都，中国。近期群展：月相，2019，尤伦斯当代艺术中心，北京，中国。
梁琛试图通过建筑和艺术的双重实践来探讨一个悖论的可能：有限范围内的无限性。数学家格奥尔格·康托尔（Georg Cantor）曾用希伯来文的第一个字母א（Aleph）来表示“有限的无穷集合”，梁琛试图讨论此符号新的定义，它关乎神秘、无限、时空、万物以及它们的关系、界限与自由。
梁琛关注一个确定集合，如一个具体概念、物体、空间等，在时间上长时段、多时段、大尺度的流变与时空积累。并试图通过身体浸入，形成新的个体经验与记忆，再通过创作介入，形成新的时空。
大学期间，梁琛受到历史学家费尔南·布罗代尔（Fernand Braudel）的史学观影响，开始尝试对于建筑设计场地和空间进行长时段和多时段观察：城市形成、街区形成、建筑形成、物质形成、日常行为等，进行在其纵向、时间轴上的无限性探讨，找寻线索，通过新的建筑介入到场地以及整个时空当中。
在对于东北城市长春的长时段和多时段观察之后，梁琛开始用同样的方法观察自己的家乡——辽宁丹东。他以宇宙史为新的时空坐标体系，从宇宙爆炸开始，到地球形成，再到丹东的地质，山水形成，城市形成，街区形成，再到梁琛个人从小生活的住宅建筑的历史，及其住宅内部不同时间的三次装修的呈现，并以此唤醒自己的童年物质与空间的记忆。长达四年半的家乡研究与自我分析成为了梁琛创作的起点和源泉。

DRC No.12 is proud to announce that the architect and artist Liang Chen's solo project 1976/2020 will open at 3 pm on November 21, 2020.
For this project, Liang Chen continues to use his spatial hypnosis method to communicate subconsciously, in time and space, with the Jianguomenwai DRC building 12, and subsequently, realizes two sets of spatiotemporal cross-sections. The DRC building 12 was completed in April 1976. Liang Chen selected several buildings built around the same time in Beijing to be juxtaposed with the DRC building 12: the revamped Beijing Hotel from 1974; New Village Residence of Xujiawu Brigade from 1976; the residential high-rise in Tiantandongli South Area from 1977. Each housing unit's floor plan is nested and superimposed on the floor of the exhibition space of DRC No.12 on a 1:1 scale. In the year 2020, a watershed in our present era, in which the “boundaries” of the building are deepening, the artist hopes to open the door and transform all the units identical to DRC No. 12 in the same building into an integral part of the work, and presents them as a heterogeneous assemblage in No. 082 (DRC No. 12) on the eighth floor.
Born in 1987 in Dandong, Liaoning, China. Studied at Jilin Jianzhu University, Bachelor of Architecture. Worked in Vector Architects, as associate and project architect, completed the Seashore Library and the Courtyard Hybrid projects. 2014, 2016 As teaching assistant, completed the open design teaching of Tsinghua University School of Architecture: "The Space of Light" (Dong Gong Group). 2017 Began independent architecture and art practice, founded Studio: Aleph-Liangchen. 2019 Established the curation group: SRI (Space Research Institute) with independent curator Sun Dongdong. Currently works and lives in Beijing. Architecture Masterpiece: Singer House, Erguna, 2017-2019. Recent solo exhibition: Liang Chen: Aleph, A4 Art Museum, Chengdu, China. Recent group exhibition: Lunar Phases, 2019, UCCA, Beijing, China.Liang Chen attempts at discussing the possibility of a paradox through his dual practice of architecture and art: infinity within the finite. Mathematician Georg Cantor once used the first Hebrew letter, א (Aleph), to signify “the finite / infinite set,” which evokes mysteries, infinity, space-time, as well as their interconnection, boundaries, and freedom. Liang Chen tried to discuss the new definition of this symbol.For any given set of entities, such as a concrete concept, an object, or a space, Liang Chen studies closely their shift, progression and spatial-temporal accumulation over long-term of time, multi-layered time and on large scales. Facilitating bodily immersions, he strives to construct new individual experiences and memories, which he then converts into new space-time through creative intervention.Deeply influenced by historian Fernand Braudel during his college years, Liang Chen experimented with a long-termed and multi-layered observation of architectural sites. He examined blocks and buildings, the formation of cities and substances, and people’s daily behaviors, entering into discussions about infinity and searching for clues along the temporal axis, and eventually intervening the site as well as the entire space-time with a new architecture.After a long-term and multi-layered time research of the Northeastern city, Changchun, Liang Chen began to study his hometown Dandong, Liaoning Province, with the same method. Applying the universe to be the new spatial-temporal coordinate, his analysis spans from the Big Bang, the formation of the earth, to the geology of Dandong, constitution of its landscapes, neighborhoods and streets, and finally ends in the residential building where he grew up, manifested in its three interior decorations from three different periods. Through a sub-conscious recapitulation of childhood city and architectural space, Liang Chen intends to awaken a sub-consciousness of substance and scope. This four and half year hometown study and self-analysis became the departure point and source for Liang Chen's work.www.aleph-liangchen.com
