胡里奥·维拉尼, 1956年出生于巴西马里亚, 生活和工作在巴西圣保罗和法国巴黎

此次展出的胡里奥·维拉尼的雕塑来自其持续多年的利用现成品进行改造的系列“几近现成品”，其创作过程如同一个失物招领中心般运作，首先艺术家像筛子一般从人们习以为常的冗杂万物中挑出“从未被观看之物”，然后艺术家再将物件的日常功能与自己的梦境与幻想丝丝相连，抓住物件脱离桎梏即将转变的一瞬灵光。直到这时，原本被忽略遗忘的物件才算是真的被“找到了”。这样游戏式的探索背后是艺术家旺盛的创作热情与好奇心，让他的作品风趣幽默又富有诗意，仿佛生活中的任何琐事都能成为创作的灵感源泉。

这些鸟型雕塑的灵感来源也许最早可追溯到维拉尼的“缪斯”之一——一只名叫“马德莱娜”的鹅，于90年代艺术家在法国多尔多涅省一所农业中学驻地时从即将被“废弃”的幼崽（因为无法用于制作鹅肝）中救出。艺术家的拯救帮助这只鸟获得了幸福的生活，甚至拥有专门为其制作的可以露出长脖子的行李箱，并最终以7岁高龄打破了该种类的长寿记录。马德莱娜一直陪伴着维拉尼，并一直影响着维拉尼的创作至今。

The sculptures by Julio Villani in the exhibition come from his years-long series Almost Readymade made by transformed found objects. The artist's creative process operates as a "Lost and found office", in which a "never-seen" object is picked out by the artist as a colander from the mass of "over-watched". Then the artist connects his dreams and fantasies with the daily functions of the object to capture the aura when it is liberated from its conventional form. Until then, the object originally ignored and forgotten is actually "found". Such a game-like exploration cannot last long without the artist's enthusiasm and curiosity about the world, which makes his works playful and poetic, as if any banal detail in life can be his source of inspiration.

These bird-shaped sculptures may have been inspired by one of Villani's "muses", a goose named "Madeleine", which was saved by the artist from a mass massacre (as it could not be used to make foie gras) during the artist's residency at an agricultural school in Dordogne in the 90s. The goose had finally 7 years of a happy life, which is a record for an animal of this category. Madeleine has always accompanied Villani, even owned a suitcase specially made for its long neck, and has always influenced Villani's art practices to this day.

我们邀请小朋友作为电子导览的讲解员，捕捉他们看展的第一刻反应，他们的心情、问题都会被录制成为音频。我们尝试把解读的语言回归到最简朴的状态，以稚嫩的语言、好奇心拉平观众与作品的视线，重组展签及语音导览的传统模式。
