伊格納斯•阿巴黎的新作是為SUITCASE藝術項目創作的，包含了八個櫥窗的作品，它呼應了銀泰中心的商業語境，以及關於缺席、虛無和隱形的藝術史。阿巴黎的現場裝置中有的沿用了典型的商業展示所使用的手法，有的則改編或者強調了虛無的物理成分，比如光和空氣。根據沃爾特•本雅明在《拱廊街計劃》中對於消費主義中心的討論，“沒有，有”這個展覽計劃所思考的是展示的條件和對展示的期望。通過對日常材料的使用，包括灰塵、圖像和簡單的文字——這些是他在創作中最喜歡使用的材料——阿巴黎在運用觀念的魅力和分析性的嚴謹“揭示虛無”的同時，探討了哲學中最核心和最複雜的問題：為什麼是有而不是無？
該項目的出版物將於2009年6月出版發行，其中將包含現場裝置的圖片和由緯度策展工作室撰寫的文章。
Ignasi Aballí’s new project for the eight windows of SUITCASE Art Projects responds to the retail context of the Yintai Centre as well as an artistic history of absence, nothingness and invisibility. While some of his installations adopt the characteristics of commercial presentations, others adapt and enhance the physical components of apparent emptiness, such as light and air. Following Walter Benjamin’s concern with centres of consumerism in The Arcades Project, Nothing, or Something is preoccupied with the conditions and expectations of display. Using the everyday materials which he favours in his practice, including dust, found imagery and simple lettering, Aballí ‘reveals nothing’ with a conceptual charm and analytical rigour while addressing philosophy's central and most perplexing question: Why is there something rather than nothing?
A publication with installation images and an essay by Latitudes will be published in June 2009.
伊格納斯·阿巴黎（Ignasi Aballí，巴塞羅那，1958年）
伊格納斯•阿巴黎的創作從1980年代末開始被展出和介紹，他和其他同時期一起涌現出的藝術家被稱為“加泰羅尼亞藝術家”，他們通過對影像、繪畫、攝影和雕塑的深刻反思，復原觀念的實踐。他的作品特點鮮明，常常使用日常生活中不起眼的元素——如報紙、灰塵、日曆，或者分類系統，如色碼表、列表、目錄和檔案。他為SUITCASE藝術項目創作的作品，與一個他在藝術實踐中的永恒主題有關，即虛無、透明和細微。
他近期的個展有：“可能/很可能”西班牙馬德里 Galería Elba Benítez(2009)；“展示”比利時布魯塞爾Meessen De Clercq(2008)；“沒有活動”,葡萄牙波爾蒂芒Museo Municipal de Portimão(2008)；“雜草”,西班牙馬德里Real Jardín Botánico (2008)；“分類”西班牙巴塞羅那Galería Estrany-De la Mota (2008)；“0-24h”西班牙巴塞羅那 (巡展) (2005–6)。他參加過的部分群展有：“抽空”（'Tiempo al Tiempo/Taking Time'）西班牙比戈當代藝術館(2007)；“靜止的生活：藝術、生態和政治變化”，阿拉伯聯合大公國第八屆沙加雙年展(2007)；“感官思索，意識觸摸”義大利威尼斯第52屆威尼斯雙年展(2007)；“不可觸摸”尼斯維拉阿爾松國家當代藝術中心(2006); “開始是旅行”（'En el principio era el viaje'）, 西班牙龐特維德拉雙年展(2004).
Ignasi Aballí (Barcelona, Spain, 1958) began exhibiting in the late-1980s, emerging alongside a generation of Catalan artists that recuperated conceptual practices through an intense reflection on the status of the image, painting, photography and representation. His work is often characterised by the use of unremarkable elements of daily life – newspapers, dust, calendars – as well as systems of classification such as colour charts, lists, inventories and archives. His project for SUITCASE Art Projects connects with an ever present theme in his practice, that of absence, transparency and imperceptibility.
His recent solo shows include: 'Possible/Probable', Galería Elba Benítez, Madrid, Spain (2009); 'To Show', Meessen De Clercq, Brussels, Belgium (2008); 'Sem Actividade', Museo Municipal de Portimão, Portimão, Portugal (2008); 'Malas Hierbas', Real Jardín Botánico, Madrid, Spain (2008); 'Classificar', Galería Estrany-De la Mota, Barcelona, Spain (2008); '0–24h', Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain (touring show) (2005–6). Amongst his group shows are: 'Tiempo al Tiempo/Taking Time', Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Vigo, Vigo, Spain (2007); 'Still Life: Art, Ecology and the Politics of Change', Sharjah Biennial 8, United Arab Emirates (2007); 'Think with the senses, feel with the mind', 52nd Biennale di Venezia, Venice, Italy (2007); 'Intouchable', Centre National d'Art Contemporain Villa Arson. Nice (2006); 'En el principio era el viaje', Bienal de Pontevedra, Pontevedra, Spain (2004).

SUITCASE藝術項目
SUITCASE是一個旅行中的藝術項目。
你在哪，它就到哪。
SUITCASE藝術項目與具體的現實空間和觀念語境展開
對話和互動，在任何特定的情境中自我轉化並潛入／嵌入
其中。SUITCASE藝術項目強調的是相遇而不是對抗，是
潛移默化而不是針鋒相對。
SUITCASE追隨著情境主義的傳統在日常的生活中重構
精神的空間。
SUITCASE是一個停頓。
SUITCASE是一個傳言，瀰漫在空氣中。
SUITCASE寄生並生長著。
SUITCASE ART PROJECTS
SUITCASE is an art project that travels.
Instead of waiting for you to come close, it travels to
wherever you are.
SUITCASE Art Projects are engaged in exchanges
and interactions with specific physical and conceptual
contexts and are highly adaptable to any given
situation. SUITCASE Art Projects are about encounters
not confrontations.
SUITCASE follows the Situationist tradition to create
intellectual engagements and discussions in both the
most and least expected contexts.
SUITCASE is a pause.
SUITCASE is a hearsay, circulating in the air.
SUITCASE parasites and grows.
