瑪吉畫廊（馬德里）榮幸地向您宣佈，金石將於6月18日在本畫廊舉辦藝術家的首次個展。此次展覽名為“不現實的現實”，展覽將一直持續到7月31日。個展將全面展示金石近年來創作的關於中國底層社會現實生活狀態的裝置與攝影作品。

在“不現實的現實”中，“現實”不再是明白無誤的東西，而是一種需要被定義、被形容的狀態。也就是説作為名詞的“現實”其實什麼也沒説，它指涉了我們眼前的、當下的、可以直接經驗到的狀態。現實只能是在一種前話語的狀態下才具有現實的實在性，或者説，現實作為一種實在狀況，具有對定義的抗藥性。而“不現實的現實”這種修辭，其潛在的含義是，作為實在的現實正在偏離關於現實的話語，或者説，現實的“標準”狀態。

金石1976年生於中國河南，畢業于中國美術學院雕塑係，現生活、工作于杭州。2008年在上海美術館舉行的第七屆上海雙年展上，一件名為《1/2生活》裝置作品使金石受到廣泛的關注。金石的這件作品按比例縮微手工復原了一間中國底層社會居民的居所，正如金石所言，他通過對細節的偏好得以讓觀眾捕捉到了“一種肖像的意味”，而本次個展就是這一紀實風格的繼續與拓展，《1/2生活》將與《營•生》、《三輪車》系列等裝置作品一同向我們展示金石所發現的中國底層社會現實的方方面面，以及深埋其中的世俗活力與幽默情緒。更重要的是，這些作品不只體現出藝術家本人對於邊緣生活的人性關懷，它們還激發出潛于觀眾內心的對於存在感的普遍尋求。

Magee Art Gallery (Madrid) is honored to announce that it will hold the first solo exhibition of artist Jin Shi. This exhibition is named “Unrealistic Reality” and will be shown until 31st July. The solo exhibition will show comprehensively Jin Shi’s recent installation and photography works about the real living status of Chinese bottom society.

In “Unrealistic Reality”, “reality” is not a definite thing, but a kind of status that needs to be defined and described. In other words, as a noun, “reality” doesn’t speak out anything; it refers to our current status that can be directly experienced. Only in a pre-parlance status, can reality possess actuality. In other words, as an actual status, reality is immune to definition. The substantial meaning of “Unrealistic Reality” is that as actuality, reality is deviating from the parlance about reality or the “standard” status of reality.

Jin Shi was born in Henan Province. He graduated from the Department of Sculpture, China Academy of Fine Arts. Now he lives and works in Hangzhou In 2008, in the 7th Shanghai Biennial held in Shanghai Art Museum, an installation work named “1/2 Life” has made Jin Shi gain much attention. Some houses of the bottom society inhabitants are proportionally reduced and reproduced in this work. Just as Jin Shi said, through his favor of details, he was able to make the audience catch “a sense of portrait”. This solo exhibition is exactly the continuation and development of this documentary style. “1/2 Life”, “Make a Living”, “Tricycle” series , together with other installation works, will show us different aspects of a real Chinese bottom society in Jin Shi’s eyes, as well as the earthly vigor and humorous emotion buried deep inside it. More importantly, these works not only show the artist’s humanistic care for life on boarders, but also provoke the mutual yearning for the sense of existence hidden in the audience’s heart.
