闞萱展覽－《輕》
展出時間：2009年4月15日－2009年6月7日
箭廠空間從本月15日開始，將展出藝術家闞萱的新作品系列。在“輕”這樣一個主題框架之下，闞萱將箭廠空間作為實踐她近期概念與想法的一個“試驗場”，在其中只呈現一些尚處於未完成狀態的以及正在進行中的作品。在大約6周的時間裏，將陸續展出四到五件作品，每件作品只有十天左右的時間面對公眾。與箭廠空間之前的項目從一開始就呈現已完成的作品不同，這個項目中的作品都是被藝術家稱之為接近於完成的，它呈現出異於通常展覽模式的另一種相反模式。箭廠空間在此不再關注于“完成”的概念，而是趨向通過持續不斷的變化從而使得觀者得以更加深層地關注于藝術的創作過程。
闞萱畢業于中國美術學院，從90年代後期開始主要致力於影像藝術的創作與實踐。她的作品廣泛地展出於國內外的各種展覽當中，其中包括2007年威尼斯雙年展中國館的展覽，伊斯坦布爾雙年展（2007），長征空間NONO展（2007），中國發電站展（2006－2008）。她參加了位於阿姆斯特丹的 Rijksakademie van Beeldende藝術家駐紮計劃並在2005年贏取了荷蘭的藝術獎項 the De Prix de Rome Prize。闞萱目前工作生活在中國北京與荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹。
Kan Xuan – Light
April 15 – May 7, 2009
Viewable hours: 9am-2am
Beginning April 15, Arrow Factory will present a series of temporary projects by Beijing-based artist Kan Xuan. Gathered under the collective title “Light”, Kan Xuan will use the space of Arrow Factory as a testing ground for a variety of ideas and concepts, showing only semi-finished work or works-in-process that are continually modified over a fixed period of time. Over a period of six weeks, Kan Xuan will present four to five different projects, each on view for a period of ten days or less. Instead of exhibiting a finished work at the beginning, the work will only reach completion at the end, representing an inverse model of the conventional static and unchanging exhibition format. Working with artists under these provisional conditions, Arrow Factory hopes to open new modes of exhibition-making by diverting attention away from a finished artwork towards something that evolves within the space and that gives the viewing public a deeper look into the artistic process.
Kan Xuan (b.1972) is a graduate of the China Academy of Art specializing in video and video installation. Her work has been exhibited widely in China and internationally, notably in the Chinese Pavilion of the Venice Biennale (2007), 10th International Istanbul Biennial (2007), NONO at the Long March Space, Beijing (2007) and China Power Station I, II, III in various locations (2006-2008). She completed a residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende in Amsterdam and was the winner of the De Prix de Rome Prize in Holland in 2005. She lives between Beijing and the Netherlands.
