莫娜?哈透姆（Mona Hatoum）

莫娜?哈透姆1952年出生于黎巴嫩的貝魯特。1970-1972年，在貝魯特大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)；1975-1979年，在倫敦Byam Shaw藝術(shù)學(xué)院（中央圣馬丁藝術(shù)學(xué)院前身）學(xué)習(xí)；1978-1981年，就讀于倫敦大學(xué)史萊德藝術(shù)學(xué)院。1995年，哈透姆入圍“透納獎(jiǎng)”候選人名單。2003-2004年間，參與了柏林德國(guó)學(xué)術(shù)交流中心國(guó)際藝術(shù)家項(xiàng)目。1975年黎巴嫩內(nèi)戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)后，哈透姆來(lái)到倫敦，開(kāi)始在這里生活。

哈透姆的早期創(chuàng)作基于行為和錄像。《隔離（Incommunicado）》（1993，泰特美術(shù)館，T06988）是一件與觀眾的情感和感覺(jué)相違背的作品。在這個(gè)作品里，藝術(shù)家使用了一個(gè)通常會(huì)令我們聯(lián)想起溫馨、支持和保護(hù)的物體——嬰兒床，但在其中加入了一些沒(méi)有家庭溫馨感的元素，即金屬絲和軟鋼。這個(gè)作品也讓我們想到了哈透姆一向探討的主題：認(rèn)同感、束縛和對(duì)立的事物。她顛覆了我們?nèi)粘Ｆ胀ǖ奈锲返暮x，而為之載入新的內(nèi)容，因此哪怕是一張嬰兒床，也暗含了恐懼和危險(xiǎn)。

Mona Hatoum was born in 1952 in Beirut, Lebanon. She studied at Beirut University College, 1970-1972, the Byam Shaw School of Art, London, 1975-9, and the Slade School of Fine Art, London, 1979-81. Hatoum was short-listed for the Turner Prize in 1995, and undertook a DAAD International Artists Programme in Berlin, 2003-4. Hatoum came to London in 1975 and remained there after the outbreak of the civil war in Lebanon.

Hatoum’s practice was originally rooted in performance and video. Incommunicado (1993) engages with the viewer’s senses and emotions. Indeed, in this work she manipulates an object usually associated with warmth, support and protection, a child’s cot, by adding elements usually found on unhomely devices, in this case wire and steel bars. This work also brings to mind Hatoum’s explorations of the themes of identity, constraint, and opposites. She has subverted an everyday or innocuous object and instilled it with loaded meaning - a child’s cot made to appear threatening and dangerous.
