工作室画廊_画廊空间很荣幸在新年的第一个展览呈现艺术家刘家冬的个展。这也是他继2016年个展及2018年工作室画廊_项目空间驻地之后在画廊举办的第二次个展。

Studio Gallery_Gallery Space is honored to present our first exhibition of 2019: a solo show by artist Liu Jiadong. This is Liu’s second solo exhibition since his 2016 gallery show and 2018 residency project at Studio Gallery.

“在作品进行的过程中，我开始意识到，我自己在面对自己的作品时会把一种很主观的想象投射在自己的作品中，从而进行一种“意义”的生产活动。关于作品所有客观的形式，我都试图找到一种与我所思所想的对应，来进行一种确认。后来我开始感觉到一系列的意识活动，在我与我的作品中形成了一道屏障，剥夺了我的感知（知觉）与作品的直接接触。我想这大概就是人往往无法看清自己的原因。愚蠢的自我想象让我变成了睁眼瞎。”

“In the process of making, I started to realize that I had been projecting a very subjective imagination upon my work, so I could ascribe some kind of ‘meaning’ to it. I was trying to make conclusions based on my artwork’s objective physical formation. When I became more conscious of this thought process, I realized it was a barrier between my works and myself. This way of thinking stole my most immediate and authentic perception of my work. I think this might be the reason why people cannot see themselves clearly. This stupid self-projection blinded me.”

—— 刘家冬 Liu Jiadong

“我们都有过旅行的经历。从一个地方到另外一个陌生的地方。面对即将去往的陌生之地，往往会提前做一些功课，了解当地的信息，听去过的朋友介绍一些经历。我们的大脑会拼命的展开工作，构建出一个对陌生之地的图景。让旅行前的期待变得愈加浓烈。而当我们真正踏上那个陌生的地方。往往会感到眩晕，觉得不太真实。接下来的时间，接触到的人，看到的风景，具体而琐碎的日常会与之前对这个地方的知识和想象进行调和，逐渐塑造出一个新的领地。这种不宜察觉的体验，有足够的理由让我怀疑，我们多大程度上真正到了一个地方？

“We’ve all had the experience of traveling from one place to another. We will usually prepare before going to a new place, by getting to know some basic information about that place or asking friends who have been there before. Our brain will start working; it will construct an image of that place. This makes our expectations high and intense. When we actually arrive at that place, we will feel a vertigo and unreal-ness about it. After we actually connect with the people and scene there, the concrete and mundane activities will reconcile our expectations and projections. A new image is then constructed. This hardly perceptible experience makes me doubt, to what degree, have we really been to this place?

我认为刘家冬此次的展览就是建立在这样一个疑问上。他在展览的空间中工作了十天左右的时间。从脑海中对于展览的想象到实际来到这个空间中去设想展览的样子；从抑制主观的联想到身体行为作为联系空间的桥梁。他一直在不停地切断并重建他的工作方式及面对现实的态度。把自己逼到一个被他称为绝对客观的地方。”

I think this exhibition of Liu’s is based on this question. He spent about 10 days working in this space, working away from an image he had for what the exhibition would be; for this is an exhibition that only truly developed after he arrived at Studio Gallery. He restrained his subjective imagination and used his body to connect himself with the space. He cut and reconstructed his way of working and inevitably his response to reality. Within the walls of this gallery, Liu surmounted all obstacles to at last proclaim his vision of this space as ‘objective’."
