这是站台中国09年初搬到草场地的新的项目空间的第二个个展项目。新的项目空间将继续延续之前的理念,持续支持有才华的年轻艺术家们——他们有些可能已经获得关注但需要空间实现自己的新的探索,有些可能还在学校就读;不管怎样,我们希望通过这个平台,帮助初出茅庐的或转型的年轻艺术家实现他们的艺术实践和探索,也为构建中国当代艺术提供一份微薄之力。新的项目空间计划每年组织10-15个展览和项目。
这次我们于6月1日推出的是2009年艺术家项目的又一个展览——《讨论:陈轴录像作品展》。刚毕业于中央美术学院的年轻艺术家陈轴将集中展示自己最近的6件录像作品。
几乎每个人都会有过暧昧的经历,也几乎每个人都曾经感到无聊,这些也都将成为成长的印记。从《瞎子》、《诗歌》到《阿尼玛》,陈轴讨论的更多的是与青春、成长、性等相关的话题。就像那些年轻人曾经做过的:假如给你一分钟想入非非,你是浪漫的还是无聊的?……每个人都会有他们认为独特的感受这个世界的方式,所以每个年轻的叹息应是不容忽视的。
Since 2009, Platform China has moved our Project Space to Caochangdi Village. We will continue to organize series projects and shows of talent young artists – some of them may have already been known by the public and have some experimental ideas want to release, some of them may still study at school. The new project space is located just beside our main exhibition space in Caochangdi. What we want to set up is an easy approach platform that can support the development of artistic practices at an early or transforming stage in an artist’s career, hope to contribute the Chinese art infrastructure. The project space will have about 10-15 projects and shows a year.
This is the second show of our 2009 Young Artists Project Section. We will represent a solo video project of Chen Zhou on the 1st of June. Chen Zhou will graduate from Central Academy of Fine Arts this coming summer. We will show his latest six videos.
In artist’s latest series works -“Talk”, Chen Zhou finished a transform. In stead of personal feelings, he began to care about the depression and boredom that hidden in the everyday life of people. There isn’t cynical, but boring and gloomy: the video shows office worker is washing urinal, policeman is amusing himself, pretending dead, hurting body and playing blood……The artist thrown this mood to fanaticism unhesitatingly. Through the videos, he negated the depression and boredom by himself. In video “Talk-3”, a father is playing with his daughter on bed. By slowing down camera’s speed and sound, the artist created a sexual feeling, which is hidden within the father. This is a feeling that is unconscious of the father himself. “Talk” series caught the slight moods that hiding in people heart : cleanliness, bloodsucking and sex. The artist enlarged these moods, a little fantastic, but still under the normal experience. These videos are the personal bad indulgence of the artist, he made them in a slight easy and romantic mood, but somehow hidden a little uneasy. In these series, there is no storyline but reasonless action performance. The timeline of these videos are also disturbed. Chen Zhou is trying to break the normal reading manner of which is using storyline and timeline. He wanted to make the viewers to gain the most direct sentiment and experience.
