Reversal Ritual

1




Reversal Ritual is a group exhibition organized by gallery directors Willem Molesworth

and Vincent de Sarthe. The show addresses the concept of “carnivalesque” developed by 20th century literary critic Mikhail Bakhtin as it pertains to artwork created by an emerging generation of young Chinese artists today. In reference to the comically festive events depicted by 16th century novelist François Rabelais, Bakhtin asserts that the carnival was an expression of an alternative world liberated from the social, political, cultural and religious structures of the time. His concept, often considered as a utopian antidote to repressive forms of power, serves as a celebration of the possibility for change, however transitory in nature. The exhibition aims to highlight how several young Chinese artists have begun to express themselves through similar means in reaction to the newly established order of Chinese society. The show features multiple site-specific installations as well as participatory artwork.

ARTWORKS 作品

由德薩畫廊兩位總監Willem Molesworth與Vincent de Sarthe聯手策劃的群展《儀式逆 轉》將在全新的藝術空間揭開序幕 。本次展覽參照了二十世紀俄國文學評論家米哈伊 爾·巴赫金(Mikhail Bakhtin)受到十六世紀法國小說家弗朗索瓦·拉伯雷(François Rabelais)筆下趣怪節日活動啟發而發揚光大的「狂歡荒誕」(carnivalesque)概念, 認為充滿著幽默、諷刺、怪誕的嘉年華在傳統上代表了一個從當時的社會、政治、文 化、宗教權力結構中解脫,繼而短暫建筑出來的「另類世界」(alternative world)。這 次參與《儀式逆轉》展覽的藝術家將會以米哈伊爾·巴赫金這個帶有烏托邦思想的論述 作為基礎,透過同樣荒誕的手法回應正在急速發展成形中的新中國社會秩序。

Liang Ban exhibits three video works in the show that engage viewers and asks them to dig deeper into cultural phenomenon and global issues. Fitting Room (2016) is played on an iPod and transports viewers to an uncomfortably intimate scene where the artists changes his boxer briefs from a German flag to an Italian flag. The work questions if identity can be changed as easily as a pair of underwear. March (2013) features a trombonist playing a marching tune who marches down an upwards-moving escalator. Through this absurd, wasted effort Liang Ban questions the purpose and function of celebration, particularly within Mainland China where western instruments like the trombone are associated with military parades. Model (2014) is a three-minutelong video that features the artist posing for a class of sculpture students. In the last seconds of the video, Liang Ban hurls the football in his hand through a window. A comment on educational systems, the piece also references a 1940s image of the President of the United States Ronald Reagan posing for a sculpture class as the embodiment of the ideal male physique.

梁半的視頻延續著與觀眾的互動性,同時引發人們對文化現象及全球問題的深入思考。由iPod播放 的《更衣室》(2016)記錄著藝術家從印有德國國旗圖案到意大利國旗圖案內褲的更換。 如國旗 所帶有的政治及符號性,這件作品所似乎審問著,是否更換個人身份猶如更換內褲一樣簡單。《進 行曲》(2013)記錄的是一個吹著進行曲踏著節奏的人在扶手電梯上逆行。透過呈現這個看似可笑 及無用的行為,藝術家對這樣存在於中國大陸的形式主義產生了質疑。在《模特》(2014)這個三 分鐘長的錄像中,藝術家梁半扮演著雕塑課上的人體模特。在影片的最后一秒鐘,梁半將手中的球 用力投擲與窗戶上。除了對學院派刻板教學模式的批判,錄像中藝術家舉球的靜止畫面參考了1940 年美國總統裡根年輕時站在一群上雕塑課的學生中當人體模特。

You Better Watch Out 2017 Sponge balls, PVC plastic, inflatable snow globe, IP camera system 218 x 330 x 260 cm

12

2017年作 海綿球、PVC 塑料、充氣雪地球、IP 錄像系統 218 x 330 x 260 釐米

Through a playful use of childhood themes, Mak Ying Tung utilizes colorful balls spinning around a giant snowglobe to pull viewers into You Better Watch Out (2017). Although the artwork at first seems to be a humorous spectacle, canny viewers will notice QR codes among the piles of sponge balls and by taking the initiative to scan one of these codes will trigger the final element of the artwork. Once scanned, the QR codes bring viewers to a live-stream video of themselves looking at their phones, standing in front of the artwork. This installation contemplates not only everyday objects and materials, but highlights the troubling duality between contemporary modes of entertainment and the growth of surveillance states across the globe. 麥影彤利用一個巨大的彩色雪花球,表現出俏皮的童話主題,題目叫《You Better Watch Out》 (2017)。看到作品第一眼可能會覺得充滿幽默感,發現海綿球中夾雜著一些二維碼,而觀眾可以 通過手機掃描來觀看作品的最終形態。掃描後,觀眾會在現場直播中看到觀看作品中的自己。這個 裝置不僅考慮了日常生活中的物品和材料,更強調了在全球閉路電視的增長下與現代娛樂的衝突。

音樂之聲

2017年作 雙頻道錄像、影響器材、紅色地毯、金色布幕、 泡沫刻字、LED燈光、迪斯可球 尺寸可變 獨版

Mak Ying Tung’s Sound of Music (2017) invites the audience to sing Karaoke parodies of iconic Canto-pop and Christmas songs. It evokes memories of a now faded Hong Kong experience and through audience participation challenges the notion that art is only intended to be viewed. Each Karaoke song is re-written in English with lyrics that challenge the status quo of contemporary artists and the current art ecosystem. This idiosyncratic humorous expression, highlights a sentiment of powerlessness felt by many contemporary artists and individuals across the globe. 麥影彤的第二件裝置《音樂之聲》(2017),邀請觀看者來到舞台演繹改編過歌詞后的粵語金曲。 這些經典的旋律以卡拉OK的形式呈現,它不僅喚起了人們對香港黃金時代的記憶,同時通過邀請人 們親身體驗,觀眾不再隻是觀看,而是成為作品的一部分。被改編過后的英文歌詞探討著藝術家與 藝術圈的關系, 這些帶有調侃性質的歌詞傳遞出藝術家在藝術圈生存的無力感使得參與者產生感情 上的共鳴。

做點離開豬屁股的事 2015年作 菜板,鈴鼓,電機,矽膠 30 x 40 x 60 釐米 (個)

Tong Kunniao’s When You Do it, Leave Some of the Pig Ass (2015) is a grotesque, yet festive installation. Pigtails that have been rendered in life-like silicone dance in circles and slap into tambourines once a viewer enters the space. These reanimated creatures only perform when there is an audience and thereby question the purpose of not only live performance, but also creativity at large. 童昆鳥於2015年所創作的《做點離開豬屁股的事》是一件奇異荒誕卻又同時帶有節慶氣氛的裝置。 每當觀者一靠近此作品,這件利用特殊材料所仿真的 “豬尾巴” 便為之起舞的轉圈擊打鈴鼓。這 些可復甦的生物隻有在當觀者接近時才會被重新賦予生命力,從而置疑在現場表演的目的上怎樣去 拓展藝術家的創造力。

Artists Can Tell (2016) is a bar installation combined with interactive performance by Wang Xin.

Artists Can Tell

2016 Table, chairs, signboard, LED lights, custom bottles, Kool Aid, vodka 240 x 210 x 210 cm

2016年作 桌、椅、招牌、LED 燈、自製酒瓶、酷愛飲 料、伏特加 240 x 210 x 210 釐米

In this work, artists other than Wang Xin are invited to perform and interact with visitors. These artists act as bartenders at the “bar” area and serve clients with a selection of 30 different bottles which each have a unique theme about the art world labeled on them, such as “How galleries choose artists,” “How to network at an art fair,” and “What makes artists special.” Not only does the piece contemplate the existence and significance of the art world today, it also asks, “Is the relationship between artists and art lover the same as the relationship between bartender and bar-goer?” Artist Can Tell 可以說是一個結合互動演出的酒吧裝置藝術,在這作品中會邀請黃欣以外的藝術家來 與訪客進行互動, 這些藝術家會扮演成調酒師為客戶提供30種標籤著不同標題的酒,當中有“畫 廊如何選擇藝術家”“如何與藝術博覽會交往?”“什麼使藝術家特別”等,除了這些基本問題之 外,同時間更表達了“藝術家與藝術愛好者之間的關係與調酒師和客人的關係是否一樣?”

20140128

2014 Fiberglass, wood, metal, motor, mixed media (2 parts) 225 x 100 x 100 cm each

2014年作 纖維玻璃,木,金屬,馬達,混合媒介 (2 個部分) 225 x 100 x 100 釐米

The slowly spinning cowboys in Xin Yunpeng’s 20140128 (2014) are reminiscent of classic Hollywood Westerns. The dynamic between the cowboys is a meditative one, but eerily revolves around a physical threat—guns cocked and ready to fire. In the room of mirrors they not only threaten each other, their reflected images take aim at almost every corner of the room and pull the viewer into a constantly shifting dynamic. Viewers might stumble upon the thought, can all of the relationships we share with each other be summarized in this way? 辛雲鵬的作品《20140128》(2014)中兩個牛仔舉槍決斗的雕像,它們被相對的放置以構成二元有 機的整體。這種類型化的畫面讓人不難理解其戲劇性的特征——來源於美國西部電影中的畫面。而 它們下方緩慢轉動的底座破壞了這種戲劇性,似的它們之間的舞台擴張到與觀眾的關系上,隨著兩 個具有沖突性質的雕塑人物不間斷的鏡像旋轉,關系也在從對立變化為孤立。然后,回到戲劇性的 原點再被這循環地運轉打破。 此房間喚起觀眾針對我們之間所共享的關係提出具有創造啟發性的疑 問。

Liang Ban was born in Guangxi, China in 1985. He attended the Guangxi Art Institute in Nanning, China, from which he graduated in 2010 with a B.F.A. Liang Ban works across video, installation, photography and painting and has participated in numerous domestic and international exhibitions. Liang’s art practice can be described as a tomb raider who excavates the essence of the subcultures, generic imageries, fictional legends and any other relevant information that can be pulled from our universal conscious. He uses this information to connect with a personal and/or socio-political tragedy, which results in wonderfully dramatic creations. Liang’s concise art approach imbues his artworks with undeniable creativity and imagination, which invites viewers to face the often challenging issues found in his work.

梁半,1985年出生於中國廣西,2010年畢業於廣西(南寧)藝術學院雕塑系。 個人創作軌跡觸及錄像、裝置、圖像、繪畫等綜合藝術形式,曾多次參加國內外展覽。他的工作方 式有點像失聯的掘墓者,在現實的真空中漫無目的地將各種亞文化、泛圖像、偽傳說等有待考証 的信息從普世意識形態中抽離出來,然后將其連接到個人和社會政治的悲劇中,使信息成為不可知 的“劇場”。實踐過程中簡潔地將詩意和想象填滿作品,並喚起觀眾對各種現實遭遇的共鳴。 梁半現生活工作於中國北京。

Mak Ying Tung was born in Hong Kong in 1989. She graduated from City University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor’s degree in Critical Intermedia Art in 2013. Mak’s works mainly focus on installation, performance and illustration. She considers about the important properties of everyday objects and materials. Interested in finding something rare in the minutiae of life, she reconstructs the objects and situations to create an aesthetic experience that is bound by the dualism of humor and inquisitiveness for the 80-90s post Internet generation. Her purpose does not prompt to make the audience to merely laugh but also to explore spaces and possibilities of addressing the contemporary concerns, as well as to attract the viewer’s attention of what lies underneath the surface of their surroundings.

麥影彤創作包括裝置、行為表演以及插圖,把物件變得多元化。她喜歡在生活細節中找到有興趣和 罕見的東西 。經過重組日常物品和材料,創造出弔詭又令人好奇的作品。她的概念大大顛覆了作品 原初的形式和功能,同時又保留了種種離奇和古怪的作風。主題滲透著一種屬於89年代的互聯網主 導的思維方向。例如去透過幽默的表達方式和出其不意的手法, 顛覆觀眾對日常事物事物根深蒂固 及先入為主的看法。她的作品不僅是有玩味的元素,正正是從當代議題的特徵中探索空間出各種不 同的可能性。 麥影彤現生活工作於香港。

Tong Kunniao was born in 1990 in Changsha, Hunan, China. He graduated with a BFA in the Sculpture department of the China Central Academyof Fine Arts in 2015. His body of works are vary as paintings, kinetic sculptures, and installations. One salient characteristic of Tong’s works is the assemblage of found objects, mass-produced commodities and/or recyclable materials to convey a subversive sense of humor that responds to contemporary Chinese society. The uncanny feeling generated upon viewing Tong’s work is a visual corollary of his distinctive absurdist vocabulary. His art is not only concerned with meaning, but also strategically plays on the confrontation between logic and material in a more relaxed, yet seemingly nonsensical manner. Tong Kunniao currently lives and works in Beijing, China.

Wang Xin was born in Yichang, Hubei, China in 1983. She graduated from China Academy of Art with a B.F.A. in 2007 and graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (M.F.A.) in 2011. Wang Xin is also a certificated hypnotist mainly focusing on exploring the creative ways to use hypnosis in art. Her works mainly take the form of installations, moving images and new media. Unconsciousness, art world systems and post-human are key features in her art creation. She frequently uses language and signs to challenge the status of the artist and the functioning of the art market today. Her interactive installations beckon the viewers and hypnotize them into an otherworldly realm. The impact of her bold slogans provides a satirical reading to her own position and relation to the art world, as well as to a larger extent.

WANG XIN 王欣

44

Wang Xin currently lives and works in Shanghai, China. 王欣在1983年出生於中國湖北省宜昌。她分別在2007年與2011年畢業於中國美術學院新媒體係學士 學位以及芝加哥美術學院電影、錄像、新媒體和動畫系碩士學位。 作為一位公認的催眠師,王欣的創作具有某種使人著迷的力量令人能夠產生較強烈的情緒反應。裝 置、影像及新媒體是王欣作品的主要形式;潛意識、藝術生態系統及后人類則是她創作的主要特征。 王欣作品裡展出的夸張口號和利用語言的標志來挑戰當代藝術家的地位以及藝術市場的運作狀態。 她的互動裝置吸引著觀眾,並將他們催眠到一個世界的境界。她的突出口號在某種大的程度上奉送觀 眾們一個諷刺角度閱讀她自己與藝術節的地位以及關系。2014年,王欣與《想象力學》在中國杭州想 象力學藝術中心創建了《8赫茲催眠實驗室》。同時,王欣是《這個畫廊》一個另類展覽空間項目的 創始人。 王欣現工作及生活於中國上海。

Xin Yunpeng was born in Beijing, 1982 and graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2007, specializing in sculpture. His artworks range from video and performance to site-specific installations in mixed media. Through creating experiences that are both familiar and foreign in a confined space, Xin’s work inventively anticipates and questions interpersonal differences in society. A central element in his creativity consists of implementing political and psychological metaphors in art, which blend together and become a set of collaborative entanglements expressing the dilemmas of living in a communal reality. Whether it is adjusting the physical dimensions of a space, creating interactive installations, or appropriating found objects Xin Yunpeng’s art activates a form of thought that requires spectators to contemplate psychological strategies in terms of our environments.

XIN YUNPENG 辛雲鵬

Xin Yunpeng currently lives and works in Beijing, China. 辛雲鵬1982年生於北京,2007年畢業於中央美術學院。其作品涉獵多種藝術形式,包括錄像、表演 及綜合媒體的場域特定裝置。 通過創造某種熟悉即陌生的體驗在一個受限的空間內,辛雲鵬的作品針對社會不同的差異提出具有 創造啟發性的疑問。 他的藝術創作涵蓋了政治與心理實踐的隱喻,亦在特定環境中用逼真的手法將 其融合聚變以看似虛構;無論是與空間維面積大小的調整,或有關互動型裝置作品的創作或是對實 體物件的利用,辛雲鵬的藝術實踐觸發了觀者依據環境所採取心理策略的一種思維。 辛雲鵬現生活工作於中國北京。
