  文芳
  《影壁》

  个人摄影/装置作品展
  开幕酒会:6月21日,下午3:00
  展览日期:6月21日 至 8月13日
  展览地点:巴黎•北京摄影一号空间

  巴黎·北京摄影空间即将展出艺术家文芳的新作品,展览日期自2008年6月21日起至8月13日。这期的展览-“影壁”,是她在巴黎•北京摄影空间去年展出的那一系列作品 “新金砖”(装置)的扩展与延伸。

  做为土生土长的北京人,这位年轻的摄影师对砖产生着浓厚的兴趣,并致力于以砖的形式进行艺术创作。无论何时,砖都是支撑这个城市得以不断发展建设的基础。有别于用以建造皇室的传统金砖,那些砖质量上乘,做工考究并经由制作工匠烧制上年代、产地、监造者、制作者、规格等印记,现今这些砖的使用寿命在这个被无限复制、被那些新奇事物所更替的社会中显得格外短暂。

  这些四处可见的水泥建筑是中国多年持续发展的鉴证。重塑北京金砖的过程与那些历经百年的传统与记忆产生共鸣,是那么的似曾相识……文芳再现了金砖的历史,她给人们提供了一个开拓眼界的机会使更多人来了解这宝贵的传统,它们并没有消失而是在当代中国得以延续。从她把居无定所的民工们描绘成兵马俑,到她对传统麻将进行个性的诠释,文芳将中国的文化如视珍宝,在对当今社会充满敬意的同时又提出自己对中国现在与未来种种特质的独特见解。

  文芳的“新金砖”近期在瑞士洛桑的奥林匹克博物馆展出,而且被位于北京著名的尤伦斯当代艺术中心所收藏。

  Solo Exhibition – Photography / Installation
  Opening party: June 21st, 2008 - 3pm
  Exhibition Dates: June 21st, 2008 – August 13th, 2008
  Venue: Paris-Beijing Photo Gallery I

  Paris-Beijing Photo Gallery is delighted to exhibit the new works of artist, Wen Fang, from June 21st to August 13th, 2008. Foundations is an expansion on her installation series, The New Golden Brick, which was unveiled at Paris-Beijing one year ago.

  A native of Beijing and a graduate of the National Film, Photography and Sound Engineering School (ENS) of Louis-Lumière in Paris, this young photographer’s fascination and artistic focus reside in bricks. Bricks are the ever-present foundations of support in the city of perpetual change. Unlike the traditional Golden bricks made in imperial architecture which were meticulously selected for their imperishable quality and signed by the maker, the lives of modern bricks are ephemeral as they are infinitely reproduced and readily replaced for ones with a more youthful glow.

  These cement building blocks are witnesses to China’s enduring evolution. Amidst the reconstructed brick paths of Beijing, echoes of past memories and traditions still resonate. Wen Fang revives the Golden Brick of the past, providing a pioneering glance into these perennial traditions that continue to shape contemporary China. From her representations of migrant workers as terracotta soldiers, to her revamped version of traditional mahjong, Wen Fang raises questions about the present and future identity of China while honoring the community and culture she so deeply treasures.

  Wen Fang’s Golden Bricks have recently been exhibited by the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, and have recently been acquired by Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) in Beijing.
