四方当代美术馆荣幸宣布本馆最新系列项目“悬梯计划”即将于2022年7月22日开幕。作为“悬梯计划”第一回，此次呈现由郭城、林科、施政三位艺术家的三场平行项目组成，展期为2022年7月22日至10月16日。
Sifang Art Museum is pleased to present the opening exhibition of a new project, Levitation, on July 22nd, 2022. The inaugural exhibition of this series comprises three paralleled projects by artists Guo Cheng, Lin Ke and Shi Zheng, and will be on view through October 16th, 2022.
四方当代美术馆长期致力于推动中国当代艺术家的创造性实践。针对中国年轻艺术家在初露锋芒后的积累阶段常缺乏相应支持的现状，本馆发起“悬梯计划”为前沿领域内持续探索五年以上的中青年一代中国艺术家们铺展阶梯，希冀以美术馆项目的形式帮助他们对自己近年的求索开展一次整体性呈现或挑战性实验，通往创作的下一阶段。
Over a long period of time, Sifang Art Museum has been dedicated to becoming a catalyst for the creative practices by Chinese contemporary artists. In response to the inadequate support for Chinese young artists during their career building process after debut, the museum has launched Levitation project to nurture emerging and mid-career Chinese artists who have been exploring the frontiers of art for more than five years. This project aims to offer support, in the form of museum programs, to help them deliver a holistic presentation or a challenging experiment about recent practices, and thus to pave the way for the next phase of their artistic creation.
2022年夏季，“悬梯计划”的第一回聚焦新兴技术与自然环境、人类社会间越发纠缠的共生关系，首次把三层展厅分别提供给三位中国新媒体艺术家：郭城、林科、施政，以每人使用一层的形式同时呈现三场艺术项目。
In the summer of 2022, the first part of Levitation will focus on the increasingly entangled symbiosis between emerging technology and natural environment, as well as between human beings and the society. For the first time, the three floors of the museum space will be utilized by three representative Chinese artists who are original in the exploration of new media and contemporary technological thinking: Guo Cheng, Lin Ke and Shi Zheng, with each of them occupying an entire floor and presenting a total of three art projects simultaneously.
郭城（出生于1988年）经常使用幽默又冷峻的形式语言，将宏大议题与看似随意的日常物品相连结，为想象和讨论提供了批判性的视角。他曾获得新世纪当代艺术基金会“艺术家创作及展览资助计划”（北京，2022）、奥地利电子艺术奖荣誉奖（林茨，2020）、数字地球学术奖金（海牙，2018-2019）、华宇青年奖评委会特别奖（三亚，2018）。一层展厅内，郭城将呈现他汇集着人与自然纠缠物证的项目“公园”。
Guo Cheng’s (b.1988) works often use humorous yet calm language to link grand issues with seemingly arbitrary objects and to provide critical perspectives for discussion. He obtained New Century Art Foundation “Art Production and Exhibition SupportProgram” (Beijing, 2022), Ars Electronica Honorary Mentions (Linz, 2020), the Digital Earth fellowship (The Hague, 2018-2019), the Special Jury Prize of Huayu Youth Award (Sanya, 2018). In the gallery on the first floor, Guo will present The Park, which records the entanglement between human beings and nature.

林科（出生于1984年）作为中国“网络世代”的代表艺术家之一，将笔记本电脑作为工作室，通过实验性的日常互联网探索和软件操作解放出数字界面独有的诗意。他曾荣获2014年OCAT-皮埃尔·于贝尔奖与2015年第九届AAC艺术中国年度青年艺术家大奖。空中展廊内，林科将呈现他以“天空绘画”系列作品和墙纸延展出的虚拟空间所营建的项目“西方美术馆”。
As one of the representative artists from “Net Generation” in China, Lin Ke (b. 1984) employs his laptop as studio and liberates the unique poetry of digital interface through experimental Internet exploration and software manipulation. He won OCAT - Pierre Huber Art Prize in 2014 and the Chinese Youth Artist Award of the 9th AAC Art in 2015. Lin will bring up a Xifang Art Museum built up with his “sky paintings” and virtual space extended by wallpaper.

施政（出生于1990年）是跨越了视听装置、电⼦⾳乐、现场演出等形式的综合实践者，他以模拟和“机器视觉”为出发点，通过扩充观众视听通感体验，体现对技术哲学、数字漫游和“潜在时间”的持续思考。他也是媒体艺术⼩组RMBit（⼈民⽐特）、视听演出团体OSC（Open Super Control）的成员。施政将在负一层展厅与下沉阶梯空间呈现他基于对计算机视觉、面部识别、模拟和人工智能持续关注的项目“慵懒的机器”。
Shi Zheng (b. 1990) practices comprehensively over the range of audio-visual installations, digital music and live performance. Starting from simulation and “machine vision”, he further embodies his reflection on the philosophy of technology, digital voyage and “latent time” by extending the audience’s visual and audio experience. He is also a member of artistic ground RMBit and performance group OSC (Open Super Control). Shi will show Slothful Machine based on his continuous attention on computer vision, facial recognition, simulation and artificial intelligence amidst the lower gallery and the stairs.

环抱于老山╱林场、佛手湖╱水库与前卫建筑组成的自然╱人工环境之中，分别以公园、美术馆、片场为模型的三场项目仿佛恰好映照了美术馆所处的三层空间：山脉、天空、湖水，又如同对一台机器的三层解剖：硬件、界面、程序。
Surrounded by a natural/artificial environment constructed by remote mountains/forest farms, the Foshou Lake/reservoir and avant-garde architecture, these three projects, which are respectively modeled after the park, the art museum and the filming site, seem to reflect the three layers of the space where the museum is situated: the mountains, the sky and the lake. Meanwhile, this curatorial plan also resembles a multilayered dissection of a machine, cutting through the three levels of its hardware, interface and software.
本次展览由四方当代美术馆主办，感谢艺术家、南京浦口文化旅游发展集团、四方文化集团及所有为展览提供帮助与支持的伙伴。
Special thanks to the artists, Nanjing Pukou Culture & Tourism Development Group, Sifang Cultural Group, and all participating parties who have generously supported this exhibition.

林科 Lin Ke
1984年出生于中国浙江，2008年毕业于中国美术学院新媒体系。现生活工作于上海、杭州。
从2010年开始，林科将自己变成自己的实验对象，投身于计算机时代的行为艺术之中。林科将笔记本电脑作为其艺术工作室，从计算机软件和互联网中提取素材作为其艺术作品的素材与形式。日常互联网的探索和对应用软件的操作催生出他的艺术创作和自画像。他使用屏幕截图和屏幕录制软件记录操作行为和概念图像。他主要的作品形式为装置、图像、声音、文字、视频和电脑绘画。
在他的作品中，林科以非常规的方式使用电脑软件，在软件原本设计的意图之外寻找新的功能，从而使的语言从基本的交流功能中得以解放而获得诗性。如果诗歌表达了语言的乐趣，那么林科的作品则呈现了软件用户图像界面的愉悦。
林科的创作实践为他赢得了2014年OCAT-皮埃尔·于贝尔奖与2015第九届AAC艺术中国年度青年艺术家大奖。他的作品曾在OCAT当代艺术中心、ZKM媒体艺术中心、Folkwang博物馆、东京都现代美术馆、民生美术馆、上海当代艺术博物馆、何香凝美术馆、克利夫兰当代艺术博物馆、曼切斯特华人当代艺术中心、伯明翰Ikon Gallery等艺术机构展出。他的作品亦被广泛收藏，上海当代艺术博物馆，澳大利亚白兔美术馆洛杉矶当代艺术美术馆，尤伦斯艺术基金会，KADIST，香港M+视觉文化博物馆，北京新世纪基金会，浙江美术馆及K11美术馆馆藏。
Born in Zhejiang, China in 1984; graduated from the New Media Art Department of The China Academy of Art in 2008. Currently lives in Shanghai and Hangzhou, China.
Since 2010, Lin Ke has turned his attention to the behavioral science of the computer age by making himself his own Guinea pig. Converting his laptop into a studio, Lin extracts material from computer software and the Internet as the fodder and form of his art. The mundane act of exploring the vicissitudes of the world wide web and various applications becomes the catalyst for art making and self-portraiture. He records operational behavior and conceptual images by using screenshots and screen recording software. His work takes the form of installation, image, sound, text, video and computer painting.
In his work, Lin Ke uses software to set its various functions free from their original purpose in the way that language is liberated from its communicative functions to become poetic. If poetry expresses the joy of language, Lin Ke’s work brings out the pleasure of the graphical user interface.
Lin Ke has gained major critical acclaim for his work by winning the OCAT - Pierre Huber Art Prize in 2014, and the Chinese Youth Artist Award of the 9th AAC Art 2015. His work has been shown at ZKM, Karlsruhe; Museum Folkwang, Essen; Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, Tokyo; Minsheng Art Museum, Shanghai, Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland; Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art, Manchester, and Ikon Gallery, Birmingham. His work is featured in the collections of The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; M+ Museum of Visual Culture, HK; K11 Art Foundation, HK; KADIST Foundation, Paris/San Francisco; New Century Art Foundation, Beijing; Power Station of Art, Shanghai; White Rabbit Museum, Sydney and among others.
