BANK欣然宣布艺术家张怡最新装置作品 《山（香格里拉）》目前正在新加坡艺术科学博物馆的展览 "新伊甸：科幻神话的变革"中展出。
《山（香格里拉）》是一件炫目的镜面三维艺术品，可以像转经轮一样缓慢旋转，向周围空间反射光线和发射能量。它由美籍华裔艺术家张怡（Patty Chang）创作，作品展现了一个神话般的东方天堂，它首先出现在詹姆斯﹒希尔顿（James Hilton）1933年的小说中，弗兰克-卡普拉（Frank Capra）在 1937 年的电影《失落的地平线》（Lost Horizon）中也对其进行了描绘。
好奇于小镇村民将他们的家乡命名为“香格里拉”的原由，张怡前往这个"人间天堂"，并创作了一段 40 分钟的影像，与装置共同反映了旅游经济、乌托邦幻想和异国情调之间纠缠不清的联系。
该展览将持续展出至2024年3月3日。
Bank is pleased to announce that Chang's latest installation, Mountain (Shangri-la), is currently featured in the exhibition "New Eden: Science Fiction Mythologies Transformed" at the Art Science Museum in Singapore.
Mountain (Shangri-La) is a dazzling, mirrored, three-dimensional artwork that can be rotated slowly like a prayerwheel to reflect light and emit energy into the surrounding space. Created by American-born Chinese artist Patty Chang, it represents a mythical Eastern paradise first described in James Hilton 's 1933 novel and portrayed in Frank Capra's 1937 film Lost Horizon.
Curious about how it inspired the inhabitants of a rural farming town to rename their hometown' Shangri-la City', Chang travelled to this 'paradise-on-earth' and created an accompanying 40-minute video that, alongside the installation, reflects on the entangled links between tourism economies, fantasies of utopia, and notions of exoticism.
The exhibition will be on view up until March 3,2024.

Patty Chang is a Los Angeles based artist and educator who uses performance, video, installation and narrative forms when considering identity, gender, transnationalism, colonial legacies, the environment, large-scale infrastructural projects, and impacted subjectivities. Her museum exhibition and book The Wandering Lake investigates the landscapes impacted by large scale human-engineered water projects such as the Soviet mission to irrigate the waters from the Aral Sea, as well as the longest aqueduct in the world, the South to North Water Diversion Project in China. Her most recent collaborative project, Learning Endings, is a multi-part interdisciplinary research that has surfaced amidst the overlapping contexts of climate crisis, threatened ocean ecosystems, and challenges to scientific expertise. It examines the work of scientists who perform necropsies of dead marine mammals as unacknowledged forms of attention and care, and explores how various kinds of art practice can support this care work.
Her work has been exhibited nationwide and internationally at such institutions as the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Guggenheim Museum, New York; New Museum, New York; M+ Museum, Hong Kong; BAK, Basis voor actuele Kunst, Utrecht; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Chinese Arts Centre, Manchester, England; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Times Museum in Guangzhou, China; and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Sweden.
She has received a United States Artist Fellowship, a Rockefeller Foundation Grant, a Creative Capital Fellowship, a Guna S. Mundheim Fellowship in the Visual Arts at the American Academy in Berlin, a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Art and the Environment grant, and an Anonymous Was a Woman Grant. She currently teaches at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA.
