從物質到生命
展期:2月14-20日
地點:2號館一層
在絕大多數的當代藝術家通過各種途徑來表現面部特徵的時候,鄭鉉卻專注于形體的塑造,源源不斷地開發出重要的人體藝術形式。他從物理存在的實體、創作過程的偶然性中發掘靈感,例如零碎中的新鮮、生肉中生命的力量、神秘的圖片、原始的唐突與暴力等等。像鐵路軌枕、未加工的石頭、煤焦油等這些與傳統雕塑材料相去甚遠的物質,在他看來都是文明的遺跡。他通過“把玩”而不是“抵觸”,從而最大限度地發揮材料的豐富性,通過簡化人體形式並賦予材料特殊意義,來再現人的內在真實。
From Material to Life
Duration: 14th – 20th February
Venue: 1st floor exhibition hall of Building 1
Chung has mainly focused on the human body. Although most contemporary artists have experimented by making various attempts to express facial features, he has constantly explored the significance of art form through the human body. He discovers power from fortuity in the course of creation and in the physical substantiality of the pieces, such as freshness discovered in the trivial, power of life exuded from the raw, unpredictable images, abruptness and primitive violence, etc. For him, rubbish represents the remnants of civilization, such as railroad ties, unprocessed stones and things that are distant from the traditional materials of sculpture. In his work, he brings out the importance of materials by saying that he ‘plays with the materials, rather than fighting against them', using the properties of the materials as much as possible. He brings out the inside reality of a human through simplifying the form of the human body and giving the material special significance.
