由徐龙森、白宜洛、史金淞三位艺术家联袂,翁菱女士主持的展览"九颗树"将于6月24日至7月8日在北京今日美术馆举行。展出作品形式包括水墨、装置、摄影等。作品集中于"树"这一概念和材质,也暗含了与传统中国艺术相关的主题。无论徐龙森与实物等大的菩提、梧桐和柏树三幅巨幅水墨,白宜洛拼接农具、雕塑和摄影的装置,还是史金淞标本化的迎客松、用兽牙代替树芽的怪异作品,都探讨了在当下的社会和文化条件下,如何以艺术作品的形式面对文化断裂带来的阵痛,以及如何进一步探讨中国传统文化与当代艺术之间的关系,并且在当代的语境中获得艺术家自身真实的文化身份。
展期:6月24日 – 7月8日
地点:二层展厅
Nine trees
Advised by Mrs Weng Ling, the exhibition “Nine Trees” with three artists Xu Longsen, Bai Yiluo and Shi Jingsong will be presented at Today Art Museum. Using different medias such as installation, photography, wash-and-ink painting, all these works are inspired by the form of “tree”, and aim to reveal the spirit of a tree that is deeply rooted in the Chinese culture. “Nine Trees” explores the relationship between contemporary and traditional art. It brings out the question of how to face the reality of cultural gap through artistic language, and helps artists to find out the appropriate cultural identity in the contemporary context.
Duration: 24th June-8thJuly
Venue: the 2nd floor Gallery
