不期而遇
策展人：黃篤
這個展覽以“不期而遇”命名是指藝術家的作品在沒有約定的情況下意外相遇。那麼，藝術家“不期而遇”的結果又是什麼呢？顯然，這種“不期而遇”特指藝術家隋建國、王國鋒、史金淞、梁碩和邵康從各自的方法和觀念出發不約而同地聚集一堂的藝術狀態——有的藝術家的作品針對的是藝術本體問題，有的藝術家的作品則強調的是對社會學問題的解析，有的藝術家的作品是對日常生活的轉譯和放大，有的藝術家的作品則突出的是與現場的有機聯繫。這裡，藝術家的“不期而遇”突出和強調的是各自的主體意識——獨立性、創造性、個性化、顛覆性、非語境化。因此，對策展人而言，他在方法上盡可能減少或降低對藝術家的作品和現場的干預——既尊重藝術家個人的主觀性和自由發揮，又推崇他們的藝術價值和觀念意義。
在這一特定背景下，策展工作只不過是以“不期而遇”的觀念整合了藝術家的動機和想法，最為重要的是“不期而遇”的藝術現象留給觀眾的是更多的思考和詰問……
UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER
Curator: Huang Du
“Unexpected Encounter”, refers to a group of artists and their works coming together by chance without prior arrangement. Obviously, it represents in particular the aesthetic states of the ways and concepts of such artists as Sui Jianguo, Wang Guofeng, Shi Jinsong, Liang Shuo and Shao Kang. The exhibited works concentrates on various aspects, such as the noumenon of art itself, the analysis of sociology, the translation and amplification of everyday life and emphasis on the organic connection between the work and the specific site. Here, the unexpected get-together of the artists stresses on their respective subjective consciousness -- independency, creativity, individuality, subversiveness and non-contextulization. Therefore, as a curator, I would refrain from interfering with the art works and the exhibition site as much as possible. This is a show to pay respect to the artists’ individual subjectivity and creativity whilst at the same time a show to commend their artistic values and the significance of their concepts.
Thus, with this special background, the task of curating only makes use of the concept of the “Unexpected Encounter” and integrates the motives and ideas of the artists. Most importantly, the artistic phenomenon of “Unexpected Encounter” leaves with the audience more reflection and cross-examination…...
