兩位女性，兩個世界 - 女性對話

超城空間有幸能舉行這樣的主題的特殊展覽，兩位女性藝術家分別來自不同的國家：克非女士來自中國北京，阿斯特瑞德·布朗斯基來自德國古典詩歌和藝術之都魏瑪，這裡曾經生活著德國著名作家歌德和席勒和其他許多著名的藝術家，如德國畫家盧卡斯．卡拉納赫，音樂家巴赫，而且這裡曾是包豪斯運動創始和多年活動之地。克非女士也曾在這個城市（魏瑪）舉行個展，幾年前這裡也曾在市長的支援下舉行了她的先生張立國教授的個展。

世界如今變得越來越緊密，各國人們越來越接近。一方面中國和德國的文化發展存在許多的差異，但是另一方面中國和德國的女性生活中有著許多相似的經驗。

經驗的交流需要使用一種語言來對話。但是如果在某些時刻無法使用一種語言來交流，那麼我們需要視覺的表達。這也是為什麼藝術家在我們的生活中扮演者如此重要的角色。在中國和在德國都一樣，女性藝術家的主題多數來自男性藝術家。因此超城空間舉辦這次展覽的目的就是把中國和德國的兩位女性藝術家放在一起。克非女士和阿斯特瑞德·布朗斯基女士在

多年前已經是朋友，她們的交流方式就是繪畫，這使得她們的友誼如此特殊而且她們的繪畫不僅是藝術家的表達而且是她們心靈的體現。克非女士使用傳統的材料如油畫顏色和畫布。阿斯特瑞德·布朗斯基女士對中國傳統的玻璃畫進行了再探索。她們繪畫的方式看來非常不同，但是她們的思考卻非常相似， 這令這次展覽意義非凡。我們希望這兩位女性藝術家的團聚能促進兩國女性的團聚，並希望能對促進中國和德國互相的文化理解能起到作用。

我們希望這次展覽能盡可能的引起共鳴，並感謝您參加週日下午舉行的開幕式。

TWO WOMEN, TWO WORLDS – female dialogue

It is a great honor for the CU Space to present this unusual exhibition with this topic and like to welcome the female artist Mrs. Ke Fei from Beijing/China and the female artist from Germany, Mrs. Astrid Bransky, who lives in the heart of the German classical poetry and art called Weimar, where the famous German writers, Johann Wolfgang Goethe and Friedrich Schiller and many other artists like for example the German painter Lucas Cranach, and musicians like Johann Sebastian Bach and last but not least the founders of the Bauhaus movement have been living for many years. The city where also an exhibition took place with paintings of Mrs. Ke Fei and last but not least also an exhibition with paintings from her husband Prof. Zhang Liguo under the umbrella-ship of the Lord Mayor a few years ago.

The world meanwhile has become closer and closer. People of all nations are getting together. On one hand there are a lot of differences in the cultural development of China and Germany but on the other hand there a lot of similar experiences in women’s life in China and Germany a well.Communication about experiences needs talking in one language. But if this is not possible for the moment to communicate in one language we need the visual expressions. That’ s the reason why artists play such an important role in our lives. In China and Germany as well. The topics from female artists are mostly from the topics of male artist. Therefore it has become the aim of this exhibition in the CU Space to put together two female artists from China and Germany. Mrs. Ke Fei and Mrs. Astrid Bransky have become friends a few years ago. And their way to communicate is the way of painting. This makes their friendship so unique and their paintings are not only an expression of an artist but also a look inside their hearts. Mrs. Ke Fei is working with the traditional materials like oil colors and canvas. Mrs Bransky has re-explored the old Chinese tradition of Behind-class-painting. There kind of painting seems to be very different but their way of thinking is very similar. That makes this exhibition so very interesting. We hope that the getting together of those two female artist push forward the getting together from women of both nations and will be helpful in working on a better understanding between the cultural roots of China and Germany.We wish this exhibition as much resonance as possible and thank you for your participation in the opening ceremony which makes this Sunday afternoon very special.

克非

中國當代女性畫家。1945齣生於山東省。從1960年代任職于北京日報社。從1970年代開始文學創作和電影劇本的寫作。其具有意識流風格的短篇小説《她在鏡中消失》1986年6月在《芙蓉》雜誌發表。這篇署名奧林的先鋒性的小説引起當時文學界和批評界的激烈討論。此後，她又創作了幾部小説與電影劇本，包括：《泥土身處的歌聲》；《那盞燈不再亮了》；《美的磨難》等。克非自1980年代開始，從事繪畫創作。她的繪畫充滿了自身的強烈風格和文學性特徵，表達了一種對女性日常生活和對生命反思的精神體驗。充滿神秘的畫面和情節並不是對日常生活的臨摹，而是將畫家自身的體驗，情感與經驗，有意或無意的組織在一起，如同她的意識流文學作品，畫面漸漸引導我們進入她的神秘的充滿了愛的精神世界。她的作品體現了一名女性藝術家完全使用女性的方式從事藝術創作的十分罕見的天才和成就。2008年她在德國魏瑪意識流畫廊舉辦了首次個展，並獲得成功。

KE FEI

Chinese contemporary female artist. Born in 1945 in Shandong Province. She worked in Beijing Daily since 1960s and started with literary writing and screenplay writing. Her stream-of-consciousness novella “She Is Disappearing In The Mirror” (with pseudonym Ao Lin) was published in magazine “Fu Rong” in June, 1986. This avantgarde novella caused incisive discussions in both literary field and critical field. Hereafter she created several novels and screenplays, for instance, “The Singing From The Deep Earth”, “The Light Does Not Shine Anymore”, “The Suffering Of Beauty”. Ke Fei has started painting since 1980s. Her paintings are full of unique self-style and literary characteristic, expressing the mental experience of a women’s everyday life and thinking on life. The mysterious image and scenario is not a copy from the everyday life but a conscious or unconscious combination of the painter’s self experience and emotion, as her stream-of-consciousness literary works, attracting people stepping into her mysterious and full-of-love mental world. Her art works indicate that as a female artist, she is working on art creation in a completely female way and full of talent and achievement. Her first solo-exhibition was successfully held in the Sinnflut Gallery in Weimar, Germany successfully in 2008.
