两位女性，两个世界 - 女性对话

超城空间有幸能举行这样的主题的特殊展览，两位女性艺术家分别来自不同的国家：克非女士来自中国北京，阿斯特瑞德·布朗斯基来自德国古典诗歌和艺术之都魏玛，这里曾经生活着德国著名作家歌德和席勒和其他许多著名的艺术家，如德国画家卢卡斯．卡拉纳赫，音乐家巴赫，而且这里曾是包豪斯运动创始和多年活动之地。克非女士也曾在这个城市（魏玛）举行个展，几年前这里也曾在市长的支持下举行了她的先生张立国教授的个展。

世界如今变得越来越紧密，各国人们越来越接近。一方面中国和德国的文化发展存在许多的差异，但是另一方面中国和德国的女性生活中有着许多相似的经验。

经验的交流需要使用一种语言来对话。但是如果在某些时刻无法使用一种语言来交流，那么我们需要视觉的表达。这也是为什么艺术家在我们的生活中扮演者如此重要的角色。在中国和在德国都一样，女性艺术家的主题多数来自男性艺术家。因此超城空间举办这次展览的目的就是把中国和德国的两位女性艺术家放在一起。克非女士和阿斯特瑞德·布朗斯基女士在

多年前已经是朋友，她们的交流方式就是绘画，这使得她们的友谊如此特殊而且她们的绘画不仅是艺术家的表达而且是她们心灵的体现。克非女士使用传统的材料如油画颜色和画布。阿斯特瑞德·布朗斯基女士对中国传统的玻璃画进行了再探索。她们绘画的方式看来非常不同，但是她们的思考却非常相似， 这令这次展览意义非凡。我们希望这两位女性艺术家的团聚能促进两国女性的团聚，并希望能对促进中国和德国互相的文化理解能起到作用。

我们希望这次展览能尽可能的引起共鸣，并感谢您参加周日下午举行的开幕式。

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

中国当代女性画家。1945出生于山东省。从1960年代任职于北京日报社。从1970年代开始文学创作和电影剧本的写作。其具有意识流风格的短篇小说《她在镜中消失》1986年6月在《芙蓉》杂志发表。这篇署名奥林的先锋性的小说引起当时文学界和批评界的激烈讨论。此后，她又创作了几部小说与电影剧本，包括：《泥土身处的歌声》；《那盏灯不再亮了》；《美的磨难》等。克非自1980年代开始，从事绘画创作。她的绘画充满了自身的强烈风格和文学性特征，表达了一种对女性日常生活和对生命反思的精神体验。充满神秘的画面和情节并不是对日常生活的临摹，而是将画家自身的体验，情感与经验，有意或无意的组织在一起，如同她的意识流文学作品，画面渐渐引导我们进入她的神秘的充满了爱的精神世界。她的作品体现了一名女性艺术家完全使用女性的方式从事艺术创作的十分罕见的天才和成就。2008年她在德国魏玛意识流画廊举办了首次个展，并获得成功。

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.
