展览简介

于向溟的个人艺术项目“一切膜拜像皆是幻象——于向溟的绘画、戏剧、人类学研究”将于7月中下旬在上海盈艺术空间正式向公众开放。这一进行中的艺术项目为期近两个月，将完整地展示艺术家于向溟的绘画、戏剧以及围绕人类学研究主题的现场装置作品。

The independent art project “All Idolatry Is Illusory -- Yu Xiangming’s Paintings, Drama and Anthropological Research” will take place at Ying Art Center Shanghai in mid-to-late July. This art project is estimated for approximately two months, and will represent the overall creation of artist’s paintings, drama and on-site installation work focusing on his anthropological research.

“一切膜拜像皆是幻象”的主题

On the Question of “All Idolatry Is Illusory”

这一主题取自于向溟2012年的同名油画作品《一切膜拜像皆是幻象》，反映出艺术家在追问被膜拜的偶像是如何用神性的光环控制人们意志的同时，更反思人们趋于某种意识下的主观选择。同时，艺术家为观者留下图像、文字或是其它形式的线索，引领观众向这些包裹在模糊又真实的事件之下的契合点逐步靠近。

This art project is themed of “All Idolatry Is Illusory”, which is inspired from the cognominal oil painting created by Yu in 2012. The artist questions how worshiped idols control the wills of men with their divine aura, or it is the subjective choice driven by men’s consciousness. At the same time, the imagery, texts, and other forms of clue, which appear both obscure and real, unanimously lead the viewers to agree with the artist.

人类学、社会学的研究及装置

Anthropological and Sociological Research and Installation

鉴于艺术家近年的学术研究和探索，于向溟将和两位北大的青年学者组成一个研究小组，用人类学、社会学的研究方法与项目主题相结合，通过社会调查、比较法、概念分析法等方式针对特定形象进行深度的剖析与解构。他们的研究文献成果将汇集成册，以飨大众。随着项目中文献研究的展开，艺术家还将以人类学的视角现场创作一件装置作品，通过艺术的语言形式深化对“一切膜拜像皆是幻象”的主题阐释。

Based on his academic research and exploration in recent years, Yu together with the other two young scholars from Peking University has teamed up as a research group, to apply the research methods of anthropology and sociology to the question of the project. By means of social survey, comparison and conceptual analysis, they intend to conduct in-depth inquiry and deconstruct a specific subject. Their research literature will be collected into a book to share with the public. As the research progresses, the artist also plans to create an on-venue installation work, with the language of art to further interpret the theme “All Idolatry Is Illusory”.

进行中的创作及布展

Ongoing Creation and Installation

除了持续创作的装置作品，艺术家还将驻地进行架上绘画的创作，丰富其近10年以来的绘画成果。这种展示节奏的设定不同于常规布展后的完好陈列，将全程邀请观众进入展厅，时刻体验不断变化的展厅内容和环境。

Apart from the sustained installation creation, the artist will also be present in the space to produce several new paintings to supplement his painting selection in the last ten years. The exhibition pattern this time differs from that of regular shows, where all exhibited works are well installed prior to the opening. We invite viewers to join the whole process of installation, experiencing an ever-changing space unfolding its content and events.

不设开幕式 闭幕华彩呈现

Skipping Opening, Dramatic Closing

项目在节奏布局上充满戏剧性，跳出了开幕的常规模式，选择闭幕式作为项目效果的最终呈现，并配合戏剧表演推向高潮，期待鼓乐齐鸣的闭幕盛会，并借此来完成艺术家心中对于“一切膜拜像皆是幻象”主题的最终阐述。艺术项目在完整成型后戛然而止，这样的编排也再一次印证了艺术家内心深处对于一切看似理所应当的警惕与自我克制。

The art project sets its tone dramatically. It skips the routine opening, but chooses the closing to assemble its fruitful results, tuned by the drama play to receive the climax. This music accompanied closing ceremony would complete the artist’s ultimate elaboration on the question “All Idolatry Is Illusory”. The arrangement of a sudden ending right after the project taking its form, confirms the artist’s alertness and self-control against matters for granted.

多元的互动环节

Diversified Interactions

值得一提的是，整个展览的一大亮点是融入各版块的高新科技手段，通过打造数字化的全新观展方式，叠加虚拟场景和现实画作，产生动态变幻的观看效果，以帮助观众了解作品及创作背后的故事。此外，项目将策划数场公众活动，通过引入合乎时代潮流的大众文化，更好地搭建艺术家、作品及观者间的沟通桥梁，向公众介绍于向溟多元化的艺术创作与学术研究成果。

2017年7月—9月，敬请期待！

What is worth mentioning is the new media and technology used in this art project. Digital devices create new viewing experience by layering virtual imagery upon works in reality, which renders an animated effect, to assist the viewers in better understanding the work and its creation story. Moreover, the project also includes several public events relevant to popular culture, in order to bridge the communication between the artist, works and the viewers, meanwhile introducing the public to the versatile artistic creation and academic research of the artist.
