朱利安·施纳贝尔,1951年生于纽约,是一位美国艺术家和电影人,现生活工作于纽约和长岛的蒙托克。在他的创作生涯中,施纳贝尔一直延续对现成材料的使用和基于偶然的创作过程,挑战并转变绘画的传统,为年轻一代的艺术家开启了一种新的视野。身为艺术家,施纳贝尔因其著名的“磁盘绘画”获得国际关注;同时,其超越绘画并延伸至雕塑、摄影和电影的跨领域实践也闻名世界。作为电影人,施纳贝尔执导的影片《潜水钟与蝴蝶》(2007)获第80届奥斯卡金像奖的四项提名。施纳贝尔的作品被诸多美术馆收录为馆藏,其中包括现代艺术博物馆(纽约)、惠特尼艺术博物馆(纽约)、大都会艺术博物馆(纽约)、古根海姆博物馆(纽约和毕尔巴鄂)、泰特现代美术馆(伦敦)、旧金山现代艺术博物馆(旧金山)、汉堡车站现代美术馆(柏林)、蓬皮杜艺术中心(巴黎)。

国内观众或许更多从其电影成就认识这位艺术家,其所执导的《当黑夜降临》(Before Night Falls, 2000)以及《潜水钟与蝴蝶》(The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, 2007),在过去皆抡获众多影展大奖,也让人更期待甫入围今年第75届威尼斯电影节的2018年最新作品《永恒之门》(At Eternity’s Gate),同样也能获得评审的青睐。

此次『转瞬:朱利安·施纳贝尔』所展出的相片皆出自一台极罕见的20" × 24"风琴相机,其中有不同形象风格的自拍像,也有大量工作室的空间场照。然而,比起艺术家本人与其工作环境,施纳贝尔或许更热衷于拍摄亲朋好友的肖像,其中也包括许多知名影星:威廉·达福(Willem Dafoe)、马克斯·冯·西多(Max von Sydow),后者曾参与由施纳贝尔执导的电影《潜水钟与蝴蝶》,出演主角的父亲。艺术家如玛莉娜·阿布拉莫维奇(Marina Abramovic)、他的一对女儿罗拉(Lola)、斯黛拉(Stella),以及双胞胎儿子奥尔莫·路易斯(Olmo Luis)与赛·胡安(Cy Juan),皆是其经常拍摄的对象。特别之处在于,一般这么大型的宝丽来通常用于棚拍(需要两人操作,且对光的需求有更多限制),像施纳贝尔如此频繁地在户外取景实属少见。也是因为较多的非棚拍场景,让此一系列作品,在美感之余更显得真实动人。

『转瞬:朱利安·施纳贝尔』(Instant: Julian Schnabel)共展出四系列共32帧宝丽来相片原件,特别是情谊系列,向观者展现了艺术家的私人网络,亲友间的亲密姿态,同其他更多的相片联合展开时间的拓朴,让艺术家的多元面貌跃然眼前;而相片中的影像也彷佛将于转瞬之间,冲破时间的禁锢。正如同古老的现代寓言:相片做为一种具有魔法效力的封存器皿;在作品前,我们等待的永远是那即将开始的“下一秒”。

Instant: Julian Schnabel
Modern Art Base (MAB) is delighted to announce the launch of our upcoming exhibition “Instant: Julian Schnabel” on September 8th, 2018. Collaborated with OstLicht. Gallery for Photography, Vienna, the exhibition presents a series of large-format Polaroid works created by the internationally acclaimed painter, sculptor and filmmaker Julian Schnabel, who has achieved great reputation by award-winning movies such as Before Night Falls (2008), The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007), as well as his latest film At Eternity’s Gate (2018), which was selected to be screened in the main competition section of the 75th Venice International Film Festival. The show will run through September to the end of October, coinciding with the 2018 PHOTOFAIRS | Shanghai – one of the city’s most anticipated cultural events of the year.
The works exhibited in the show were all created with a rare twenty by twenty-four inch Polaroid Land camera made in the 1970s, including the artist’s self-portraits in various styles and views of his studios and private rooms. Many of the works brought together for this show are portraits of Julian Schnabel’s family and friends. There are charismatic portraits of movie stars such as Willem Dafoe and Max von Sydow (the latter also starred in the role of the protagonist’s father in Schnabel’s film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly), artists like Marina Abramovic, the artist’s daughters Lola and Stella and his twin sons Olmo Luis and Cy Juan. Schnabel took his first Polaroid picture in 2002 with the twenty by twenty-four inch handmade camera. Only six of these cameras are still known to exist. Because of its massive construction, its slow lens and the necessity to use powerful flash units, it was originally conceived for studio shoots, but the bulkiness of this apparatus leaves Schnabel unaffected. He resists its predetermined handling and operates this giant machine in various spaces, even outdoors.
“Instant: Julian Schnabel” showcases 32 Polaroid works of the artist and will be presented in four parts. The exhibition specially assembles a comprehensive series about his family and friends and the intimacy among them. This, together with other works, unfolds a topology along timeline – offering a vivid representation of the artist in diverse facets. The images in photographs seem to break through the restriction of time, instantly. As a modern embodiment of the time-honored imagery art, Photography is a magic sealing utensil. When facing the photographs, what we wait for is always the “next second” that is about to happen.
About the artist
Julian Schnabel was born in New York City in 1951. He is an American painter, sculptor and filmmaker. Schnabel currently lives and works in New York City and Montauk, Long Island. He uses diverse materials and bases his creation on contingency to challenge and change the traditions of painting, and to direct the younger artists into a new vision. His “plate painting” received international attention, and his other practices, like sculpture, photography and film, as well gained him an international acclaim. His movie The Diving Bell and the Butterfly was nominated for four Academy Awards. His work is included in the public collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Guggenheim Museum, New York and Bilbao; Tate Modern, London; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris.
