陈天灼：山水

展期：4月29日-7月30日

地址：上海油罐艺术中心

开幕：4月28日16:00-20:00

TANK Shanghai隆重呈现艺术家陈天灼个展“山水”。展览以《尘埃》与《海笼》两条作品线索展开，提出了跨物种、跨生命的纠缠，呈现了一则寓言，描绘了人内化于自然的另类关系。

「山水」以不止于人的视角，观察当下后人类现实中混乱而复杂的生命力所呈现的伦理想象与文化冲突，通过仪式研究、影像装置、表演等形式，探索了生命的多重定义，灵魂的形态、（非）物质力量，以及原住民文化、生态与当代文明之间的复杂关系。

“山水”展览包含多个影像装置、装置艺术、表演等，极具沉浸感。

陈天灼生于1985年，目前于柏林生活和工作。于英国伦敦中央圣马丁艺术设计学院本科毕业后，于英国伦敦切尔西艺术设计学院学习并获艺术硕士学位。作为年轻一代的艺术家，陈天灼游刃于装置、表演、录像、纸本绘画、摄影等纯艺术领域之中，以及需要他人或说观众参与而成立的「事件」形式，如地下派对，舞台表演，或更精确建构的仪式般的现场，将现实转变升华为幻境。宗教（如佛教、印度教、基督教、萨满教等）、亚文化（如邪典文化、Drag、Rave 等）、流行文化（如卡通、嘻哈音乐、电子乐等）、舞蹈（如日本舞踏、Vogueing）等元素和符号都被他融会贯通于作品当中，以期让观者/参与者在气氛烘托之中超越身体和精神的表面情状，到达艺术家本人提到的「癫狂状态」。

In English:

TANK Shanghai presents artist Chen Tianzhuo's solo exhibition,  Illuminated Spirits, unfolds with two projects, The Dust and Ocean Cage, that together propose ideas of cross-species and cross-life entanglement, presenting an allegory depicting an alternative relationship of humans within nature.

With a more-than-human perspective, the Illuminated Spirits probes into the ethical imagination and cultural conflict presented among the convoluted life forces in the current post-human reality. Through ritual studies, video installations, and performances, it explores the diverse definitions of existence, the forms of spirits, (non-)material forces, and the complex relationship between indigenous culture, ecology, and contemporary civilisation.

● ABOUT THE ARTIST

Scroll up to read

Born in 1985, Tianzhuo Chen currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. After graduating from Central St. Martins College of Art and Design in London, he received his Master’s in Fine Arts degree from the Chelsea College of Art and Design, London.

As a young generation artist, Tianzhuo Chen skillfully works between the artistic disciplines of installation, performance, video, drawing on paper, and photography. Many of his artworks

require others’ participation or that of the audience so to take the form of a “happening”, such as an underground party, staged performance, or more conceptually, a constructed ritual site, and

ultimately transforming reality into fantasy. Within his artworks, Chen mixes his well versed knowledge of elements and symbols found in religion (like Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and Shamanism, etc.), subculture (like cult cultures, drag and rave, etc.), popular culture (such as cartoons, hip hop and electronic music, etc.) and dance (like Japanese Butoh and Vogueing) to juxtapose the atmosphere and cause the audience/participants to transcend both

superficial sates of the body and spirit. Ultimately, arriving at, what the artist himself has referred to, as a “state of madness”.
