韩丽 | 张云垚:醚境
14 November 2013近期上海东画廊的个展《醚境》艺术家张云垚 对轮廓与质感绘画要素的一次探索。毛毡绒面与炭笔的结合,抽离了色彩与空间对于作品的影响,而放大了写实式绘画在不同于传统亚麻布或帆布的织物材料上所产生的画面叙事性。乍看下展览如同并无特别的素描系列作品展示,但毛毡材质的纤维质感使清晰的轮廓晕散开来,画面于是呈现出疏离感。在作品《背影》中,两个戴着鸭舌帽的男人低头张望,他们的背影以微妙的光影渗透进入画面背景之中,而呈现出某种失真的幻觉。画面似乎出于我们的梦境或者是记忆,介乎于现实与超现实之间:我们甚至可以想象,这样的场景曾经出现在某个秋日下午公园的长凳上,又或者这画面就是路易斯·布努埃尔黑白默片的梦境世界中某个瞬间的定格。 实际上,此次展览的大部分作品都是艺术家在苏格兰驻地项目归来后所创作的,画面中的内容也相应源自于艺术家在苏格兰所观察到的日常视觉经验。这种再现式的画面以模糊而暧昧的质感更加强调了时间与空间的分隔,这些游离于现实之外的因素也成为现场观看的趣味所在。 在艺术家之前由绘画、装置组成的悖论系列中,其更多以多媒介的方式,叙述人类在面临自我在不断经历的历史悖论反复中,所产生的哲学思考。例如在2009年的装置作品《西西弗斯之塔》中,艺术家利用了具有原始而粗糙气息的纸板、锡箔等材质进行了一次戏谑而沉重的悖论集结;而在2011年的个展《悖论盒子》中,艺术家又将绘制于巨大墙面上的作品最终全部铲除为细小的碎片。相比于之前更具有反思性的尝试,艺术家在此经历了一次转向——与之前诡异阴郁的创作风格不同,本次展览中艺术家以冷静克制的态度,回归于对传统审美具象的凝炼描画本身。 然而,这样的回归似乎是不合时宜的:在永远追求新鲜与惊奇的当代艺术语境中,绘画这一传统创作媒介似乎已经被划归为观念与技法的保守推进,对于绘画性的追求也在某种程度上成为一种依凭个人喜好和市场反响的折中方案,因此艺术家在以绘画为推进手段之时如何继续保持独立反思也就成为问题所在。但无论如何,本次展览提供了时下一位青年艺术家基于绘画本身的难得的探讨案例。Read more -

袁 佳维 | 海上景观:丹迪的意外反身
6 January 2018每当满潮时,河水暴涨,便出现逆流。观测站的信号旗显示出平稳的风速,朝着塔上飘去。在茫茫夜雾之中,海关的尖塔显得烟气迷蒙起来。堆放在堤坝上的木桶坐着许多苦力,他们的身上湿漉漉的。残破不堪的黑帆随着钝重的波涛东倒西歪地吱吱嘎嘎地向前移动。长着一张白皙明敏的中世纪勇士面孔的参木满街转悠之后回到了码头。河畔长条椅上坐着一排满脸倦容的俄国妓女。逆潮行驶的舢板上蓝色的灯光,在她们默默无语的眼睑前一刻不停地旋转着。([日] 横光利一著、卞铁坚译,《寝园》(横光利一文集/叶渭渠主编),北京:作家出版社,2001年,第3页。) 这是新感觉派作家横光利一(Riichi Yokomitsu)所著第一部长篇小说《上海》(1928—1931年)的开场:日本青年参木在外滩无所事事地闲逛,视线边沿浮现起对于上海的原始印象。苏联导演亚科夫·布利奥赫(Yakov Bliokh)拍摄的黑白无声纪录片《上海纪事》(1926—1928年)以相同的画面开启这座世界之城:俯视镜头首先对准黄浦江边密密麻麻的货轮与渔船,随即切换为特写锁定乘坐“WANDERER”(漫游者)号快艇兜风的异国男女,细节涉及男士的西服钮扣与女士的玛丽珍鞋。更为巧合的是,《上海》将时代背景设置在五卅运动,《上海纪事》则取材四一二事件,两者都通过吸纳殖民主义风格创作中的“凝视”策略进行时空构造,通过投射丰富多元的情感、性别与身体关系来完成对上海的全景式描述,并在一定程度上渲染对左翼或其他革命力量的同理心。 东画廊十周年展览“海上丹迪”意图重新审视“凝视”策略在跨文化实践中的特殊意义,尤其关于“凝视”如何对外来文本与地方文本展开互译而在长久以来影响着上海这座城市的文化话语。因此,展览选择以浪荡子(dandy)作为“凝视”的媒介,同时赋予该文学形象自属的名字“丹迪”(Dandy),强调虚构/虚拟人物的表演性、装置性与叙事性。历史上经典的浪荡子主要包括十九世纪上半叶巴黎最著名的象征主义者夏尔·皮埃尔·波德莱尔与英国维多利亚时代的唯美主义者奥斯卡·王尔德,他们提出一种颓废而颠覆的个人主义创造精神与艺术观念,凭借不同的面具与姿态唤醒并领导自身所处的不定状态。曾经出现在上海这方水土里的浪荡子比如活跃于上世纪二三十年代的刘呐鸥是的新感觉派的引介者与推动者,他以丰富的散居经历结合蒙太奇、人物心理分析等手法,将现实生活中的各种矛盾组织成展示内心强烈激情与暧昧的外部条件。 “海上丹迪”的十二位参展艺术家通过自身的视觉路径对浪荡子作出想象,甚至直接把浪荡子看成是第二自我,在开启角色游戏的过程中渲染个人独有的气质、性格、习惯、癖好。他们不自觉地使用起浪荡子善用的“模拟”方法,以此解构“凝视”与世界主义上海的关联。世界主义往往是一个用来美化殖民事实的台词,而一连串复杂的内化作用逐渐累积并造成了对殖民化的漠然以及对世界主义的向往。“模拟”恰巧具有颠覆殖民权力的力量。一般来说,殖民化能够带来的现代化不免让原居者产生崇拜或渴望的心态,甚至对本身的文化心存自卑和厌恶。但是通过“模拟”,原居者可以逐渐了解殖民权力并非天然而是被建构的产物。原居者透过“模拟” 看清殖民化的问题,使自己处于进退两难的境地,并发展出相互依赖的关系。这种既吸引又排斥的混乱干扰了既定的殖民秩序。 比如, 张云垚假借毛毡的有型质地,由绘画模仿雕塑,西方哲人、帝王、统治者、神话人物的身体轮廓叠加出一个偏执的、悲惨的、处于错误时代的自我,徘徊于放纵与约束之间,质询社会文化框架对于享乐的容许度。a.f.art theatre芳翎在为自己圈定的剧场框架中把白衬衫穿着成戏服,说明其趋于放弃原居者身份的意图,却又在男性画外音的指正下不断修改着自己的行为而表现出不安。胡为一把裸露的女性身体与腐败的城市遗址覆盖到一起而产生缠绕效果,强调兼具浪荡子与漫游者特质的艺术家人格,正是对浪荡子“先贤”们的致敬。许以挪用比利时超现实主义画家雷内·马格利特的《情人》并让一对闺蜜扮演处于室内的两人,一人佩戴在无名指上的戒指提示着性别与婚姻正相关的刻板印象,另一人却通过化装/异装发泄过高的性别表现欲望,挑战固化的性别意识形态。若将这些作品视为幻肢而构成丹迪的整体,那么浪荡子在跳脱其舶来品属性后依旧具备着生命力。或许,丹迪本身就是一个来自未来的时光旅行者,悄无声息地协调起我们与此刻、与地方的联系。Read more
