城市現在時:盧昊繪畫與裝置藝術展

策展人：巫鴻

展覽時間：2009年8月29日至10月25日

展覽地點：新加坡美術館

2009年8月29日至10月25日，新加坡美術館將為國際知名中國藝術家盧昊舉辦其在東南亞美術館的第一個個展“城市現在時:盧昊繪畫與裝置藝術展”。20世紀90年代以來，盧昊曾多次參加國際知名藝術展覽與雙年展，包括1999年威尼斯雙年展，2002年聖保羅雙年展以及2007年第十二屆卡塞爾文獻展。作為2009年威尼斯雙年展中國館的總策展人，盧昊提出一個令人深思的主題 “見微知著”，展示了有中國特色的重要當代藝術家的作品。

盧昊在他的個人藝術實踐中，常常將中國傳統的長卷、宮廷式風格和水墨畫以及照相寫實主義與後現代主義觀念相結合來展現對城市和社會的記憶。盧昊的近期作品則是對北京當代生活方式和城市建築變遷的反思。此次在新加坡美術館的展覽，是由國際知名的美國芝加哥大學東亞藝術中心主任巫鴻教授擔任策展人，他將協同將藝術家的雕塑、近期水墨畫以及其他新的作品呈現給觀眾。

From 29 August to 25 October 2009, the Singapore Art Museum presents Cities Here and Now: Paintings and Installation Works by Lu Hao, the first solo museum exhibition in Southeast Asia for internationally renowned Chinese contemporary artist Lu Hao. Lu has participated in many prestigious international exhibitions and biennales since the late 1990s, including the 1999 Venice Biennale, the 2002 São Paulo Bienal as well as the 2007 Documenta 12. As co-curator of the 2009 Venice Biennale Chinese Pavilion, Lu presented a thought-provoking exhibition What is to Come, featuring established Chinese contemporary artists.

In his own artistic practice, Lu Hao makes reference to the traditional long hand scroll, "court-style" formats and ink idioms of Chinese painting as well as photorealism, and combines them with postmodern ideas on urban and social memory. Lu's recent works comment on contemporary transformations of Beijing lifestyles and architecture. For the exhibition at the Singapore Art Museum, internationally renowned guest curator Professor Wu Hung, Director, Center for the Art of East Asia, The University of Chicago will work with Lu Hao to present an overview of his artistic practice with sculptures, recent ink paintings and other new works.
