泛亞洲視點 —關於張可欣的新藝術
對畫空間（Dialogue Space）于2009年2月12日17：00舉辦了《2009張可欣個展》開幕式。展出了旅泰藝術家張可欣大型繪畫作品10余件。展覽期間，觀眾有機會欣賞到張可欣極具影響力和多元化的創作實踐。
藝術家張可欣（出生於1957年，中國黑龍江省哈爾濱市）近年來主要以裝置、行為、影像、繪畫、雕塑、新媒體等當代藝術語言活躍于國際藝壇。張可欣于1982年畢業于哈爾濱師範大學，1992年作為訪問學者赴俄羅斯。近十幾年來，他旅居東南亞各國，尋求創作靈感。其間受邀赴印度與尼泊爾進行宗教藝術方面的學術訪問與交流，亦在德國、荷蘭、比利時、法國、西班牙等國作學術訪問及舉辦個展。作為全球化背景下的“文化穿梭者”，張可欣不斷嘗試將中國古典思想與當地文化相糅合，以其獨特新型的東方文化形態構築自己的藝術事業。
張可欣的藝術創作，是從全球化和中國歷史文化，以及現代化社會與藝術行為這樣兩個維度展開。早期的《古裝書最新解體》系列作品，探討了經濟一體化、網際網路、資訊技術對亞洲傳統文化的影響。而張可欣的《中國營造法式》系列作品在中國古典建築的屋架結構下，營造了一個由卡通形象、品牌商標、文化碎片、流行符號、明星凡人組成的世界。藝術家稱這個“混作”方案為其視覺藝術創作才能的實施，藝術上的一個遊戲。不過這一實驗性藝術工程已完全剝離了建築學的科學性範疇，從而進入到社會學及人性關懷的廣闊天地。
此次對畫空間（Dialogue Space）展示的10多件大型繪畫作品，均為《中國營造法式》系列
作品，是張可欣2007年以來的新作。作品以其對當下諸多社會現象的戲擬，延展了系列作品中古
典建築與當代社會的“對接”。張可欣在談到他的創作時説：“我在熱處理這些‘混作’圖像符號時，不僅是在畫面上再造羅列，而是以調弄手法予以幽默的嫁接，我力求將當代人類精神信仰與物質慾望，東方文化與西方文化交融的誤區及不諧和性等矛盾問題，表現得更凸顯，更有爭議性，抑或譴責和批判。”
多樣而簡單的材料，繽紛而宏大的敘事形式，以及二者結合所製造出的某些隱喻般的情境將貫穿整個展覽，並有效激發觀眾的想像力。通過展示張可欣最近的繪畫創作，我們希望能提供給觀眾一個機會去探尋這位藝術家創作的廣度和深度。我們深信本次展覽將很好地説明對畫空間（Dialogue Space） 在選擇藝術家方面對於藝術家國際背景的考量，以及對畫空間（Dialogue Space）試圖建立中國當代藝術和世界當代藝術對話的可能。

Press Release of “2009 Solo Exhibition of Zhang KeXin”
Duration: February 13th – April 3rd 2009
Opening Ceremony: 5 pm , February 12th 2009
Venue: 6-99#, 22 International Art Plaza, No.32 Baiziwan Road (south of Today Art Museum), Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100022
Dialogue Space is honored to introduce to you the “2009 Solo Exhibition of Zhang KeXin” on February 12th, 2009. Zhang KeXin’s artistic creations, full of the power of influence and pluralism, will be presented to our audience via more than ten large scale paintings on display.
Zhang KeXin (born in 1957, in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China) has been actively working with installation, performance, video, painting, sculpture and new media in the international art world. He graduated from the Normal University of Harbin in 1982 and went to Russia as visiting scholar in 1992. In recent years, he’s been living abroad in South-East Asia, seeking inspiration for his artistic creations. During these years, he has been invited to India and Nepal for academic meetings and symposiums, as an expert on topics such as religion and art. He has also had solo exhibitions in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Spain. As a “cultural and artistic nomad”, the artist has been integrating Chinese traditional culture and the local cultures of his foreign experiences, creating an unique oriental cultural type which blends into the works comprising his artistic portfolio.
The works on exhibit here are the newest of his series “China’s Construction Rule”, having been created since 2007. These works aggrandize the juncture between traditional Chinese architecture and contemporary society by playfully imitating many current social phenomena. Talking about this series, Zhang KeXin states, “When I put these mixed icons and images under a
‘heat-treatment’, I didn’t simply spread them out and reconstruct them, but rather I wittily grafted them together, thereby exaggerating the misunderstandings - the disharmony between spiritual belief and the materialism of modern society - the fusion of eastern and western cultures - thus expressing my criticism of them.”
Varied yet simple materials, a colorful and massive style of narration, and a metaphor-like context created by intermingling the two dimensions above permeates the entire exhibition, effectively exciting the imagination of the audience. Through his newest paintings, we provide an opportunity for art lovers to experience the breadth and depth of the creation of our artist. We truly believe that this exhibition is a deserved example of the type of work given consideration by Dialogue Space – choices from an artist with an international background whose works create the possibility of enhancing the dialogue between the Chinese and international contemporary art worlds.
