占卜者之屋:黄永砯回顾展 展览时间:2008年3月22日至6月1日 展览地点:尤伦斯当代艺术中心1号展厅
“占卜者之屋: 黄永砯回顾展”是一次开创性审视的,跨越中西方,传统与前卫之间界限的大型展览。作为这位出生于中国,工作于巴黎的艺术家的首个回顾展,本次巡回大展始于美国的沃克艺术中心(Minneapolis, USA),并将于中国北京的尤伦斯当代艺术中心(UCCA)落下帷幕。该展览将展出黄永砯自1985年至今的绘画、雕塑与装置。此次大展是这位中国当代艺术的重要人物在国内的首个大规模展览,亦是其世界巡展在全亚洲的惟一一站;北京观众也将有幸欣赏到黄永砯大量最重要的雕塑与装置作品。
占卜者之屋被视为一件“ 整体艺术品 ”:它构成了一个单一的、巨大的雕塑环境,是游乐园、透视画和动物园的混合体。该展览包括一件巨大的雕塑:一只咆哮的老虎骑在一头大象身上,这是对逝去的殖民岁月的一种评述;曾经关狮子的笼子组成通道,再加上由灯箱标出的小路都让人想起飞机场里的移民检查站:“ 民族 ”与“ 他者 ”。这件装置的“ 脊柱 ”是一条长 50 英尺的木制巨蟒,自天花板垂下,将观者引至一件 1920 年代上海艺术风格的银行建筑的复制品前:该模型由 4000 磅的沙子与水泥建成,并在展览期间逐渐解体。
展览主题取自一件展品的题目,暗示观众可能携带的经验:刺激-敬畏-鼓舞,甚至不安。当叁观者进入该展时,视觉感官经验将因而彻底改变。

House of Oracles: A Huang Yong Ping Retrospective is a groundbreaking survey of Huang Yong Ping’s oeuvre, showcasing the Paris-based artist’s most important drawings, sculptural objects and installations from 1985 to the present. The exhibition traces Huang’s development as he addresses a range of concerns and concepts—from Europe’s colonial legacy to Chinese mythology and divination—in ways that are consistently surprising and provocative. UCCA's presentation of House of Oracles marks Huang’s first large-scale exhibition in China. A fully-illustrated catalogue accompanies the show.
Huang Yong Ping (b. 1954, Xiamen, China Based in Paris) has had solo exhibitions in venues across Europe, Asia, and America, and has participated in many important international group exhibitions, including the 2004 São Paulo Biennale, the Venice Biennale (1999 and 2003), the 2001 Yokohama Triennale and the 2000 Shanghai Biennial. House of Oracles: A Huang Yong Ping Retrospective is organized and curated by Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. It is made possible by generous support from Altria Group, E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, etant donnés: The French-American Fund for Contemporary Art and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. The Beijing presentation is organized by the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art.
