一隅之地 A Corner
[中国] 陈依依 [China] Chen Yiyi

七月 The Seventh Lunar Month
[中国] 杨世斌 [China] Yang Shibin
画面表现出物象表面背后,一种不可见的精神层面的真实:朴素、 透彻、 静穆、 永恒。作品创作的出发点来自于笼罩作者内心由来已久的,对时间静静流逝无法挽回的怅然,感伤人世的往复循环,犹如心宿二(天蝎座主星)西去,七月流火,夏去秋来。时间为一切铺上粉尘,抚平世间的所有繁杂。The picture shows an invisible spiritual truth behind the surface of the object: simplicity, clarity, solemnness and eternity. The inspiration of the work comes from the artist’s sentiment towards the irrevocable passing of time and the endless cycle of the world just as Antares (the brightest star in Scorpio) moves westward and summer turns to fall in the seventh lunar month.Time will cover everything with dust and quell all the chaos in the world.

[中国] 房炯铭 [China] Fang Jiongming

Analyzing the potentials of everyday things is the most attractive source of inspiration for the artist. Each creation is a dramatic experience for the artist for he always tries to visualize the absurd events in his life and establish subtle connections with them.
位置 Position [中国]
郑建辉 [China] Zheng Jianhui

罔 Net
[中国] 周崇涨 [China] Zhou Chongzhang
作品为黑白铜版画,采用照相制版和传统版画技法相结合的技法。意指当下的水环境污染,如同水中的一张无形的“罔”,对鱼类等水中生物的生存构成危险,加重了生态危机。这种人为造就的“罔”,需要及时警觉,及时为自然生态“撤网”。This black-and-white copperplate print combines photographic lithography with traditional engraving techniques. It implies that the current water pollution is like an invisible “net” in the water, posing a danger to the survival of fish and other aquatic organisms and aggravating the ecological crisis. We need to be cautious of this artificial “net” and remove it timely from the ecology.
清寂在别处 Loneliness Rests Elsewhere
[中国] 陈伟 [China] Chen Wei
这组作品主要以表现人的“情感力”作为创作的立足点,作者刻意地选择了其中较为内敛、 含蓄、 无痛的情感元素作为创作的输出载体。这类情感也许是人们内心的某种细微情感对外的映射,也有可能是人们对生命存在意义的某种解读方式。This group of sculptures is mainly based on the expression of people’s “emotional power”. The artist chooses the more introverted, implicit and less painful emotional elements as the carriers because this type of emotions might be the manifestation of the subtle feelings of people, or it might be a kind of interpretation of the meaning of life.

[中国] 余王波 [China] Yu Wangbo

春之季(局部)The Season of Spring(part)
[中国] 施海 [China] Shi Hai
作者用写意的雕塑语言,具象地表现了一件大型高浮雕作品,熔炼了作者个人对雕塑的理解和对人性的思考。作品灵感源自斯特拉文斯基的芭蕾舞作品《春之祭》,其中始终贯穿着一样东西——生命的力量。The artist adopts the form of figurative sculpture in a freehand manner to create this large high-relief work, which is also infused with his personal understanding of sculpture and thinking of humanity. The work is inspired by Stravinsky’s ballet work The Rite of Spring, and there was one thing running through it—the power of life.
不安的黑色 The Restless Black
[中国] 徐忠波 [China] Xu Zhongbo

我在此 Here I Am (影像静帧)(8'53'')
[中国] 蒋涵萱 [China] Jiang Hanxuan(part of video)
作者以不同的身份分别与这些地点相遇,并随之产生了多个地点与作者之间的关联。在这些关联之中,有某些潜在的相似。这些潜在的相似仅对承受观察介入这一行为的人而成立。正如海德格尔所言的“让呈放”或“置放”,使遮蔽之物成为无蔽之物的解蔽过程就是在场者的在场本身。希望这些地点与观察者的这种依存在人们的思索中到场。 The artist encounters these sites in different identities, which leads to the associations between these sites and herself. There are some underlying similarities among these associations, which are limited to those who have performed the act of observing and intervening. According to Heidegger’s theory of “vorliegenlassen”(letting-lie) or “legen”(lie), the process of demasking what is masked is the presence itself of the person present. It is hoped that the interdependence between these places and the observers can be present in people’s thinking.
