討論：陳軸錄像作品展

2009.06.01 - 2009.06.21

開幕日期：2009年6月1日下午4點

展覽地點：站臺中國當(dāng)代藝術(shù)機構(gòu)項目空間

這是站臺中國09年初搬到草場地的新的項目空間的第二個個展項目。新的項目空間將繼續(xù)延續(xù)之前的理念，持續(xù)支持有才華的年輕藝術(shù)家們——他們有些可能已經(jīng)獲得關(guān)注但需要空間實現(xiàn)自己的新的探索，有些可能還在學(xué)校就讀；不管怎樣，我們希望通過這個平臺，幫助初出茅廬的或轉(zhuǎn)型的年輕藝術(shù)家實現(xiàn)他們的藝術(shù)實踐和探索，也為構(gòu)建中國當(dāng)代藝術(shù)提供一份微薄之力。新的項目空間計劃每年組織10－15個展覽和項目。

這次我們于6月1日推出的是2009年藝術(shù)家項目的又一個展覽——《討論：陳軸錄像作品展》。剛畢業(yè)于中央美術(shù)學(xué)院的年輕藝術(shù)家陳軸將集中展示自己最近的6件錄像作品。

幾乎每個人都會有過曖昧的經(jīng)歷，也幾乎每個人都曾經(jīng)感到無聊，這些也都將成為成長的印記。從《瞎子》、《詩歌》到《阿尼瑪》，陳軸討論的更多的是與青春、成長、性等相關(guān)的話題。就像那些年輕人曾經(jīng)做過的：假如給你一分鐘想入非非，你是浪漫的還是無聊的？……每個人都會有他們認(rèn)為獨特的感受這個世界的方式，所以每個年輕的嘆息應(yīng)是不容忽視的。

Since 2009, Platform China has moved our Project Space to Caochangdi Village. We will continue to organize series projects and shows of talent young artists – some of them may have already been known by the public and have some experimental ideas want to release, some of them may still study at school. The new project space is located just beside our main exhibition space in Caochangdi. What we want to set up is an easy approach platform that can support the development of artistic practices at an early or transforming stage in an artist’s career, hope to contribute the Chinese art infrastructure. The project space will have about 10-15 projects and shows a year.

This is the second show of our 2009 Young Artists Project Section. We will represent a solo video project of Chen Zhou on the 1st of June. Chen Zhou will graduate from Central Academy of Fine Arts this coming summer. We will show his latest six videos.

In artist’s latest series works -“Talk”, Chen Zhou finished a transform. In stead of personal feelings, he began to care about the depression and boredom that hidden in the everyday life of people. There isn’t cynical, but boring and gloomy: the video shows office worker is washing urinal, policeman is amusing himself, pretending dead, hurting body and playing blood……The artist thrown this mood to fanaticism unhesitatingly. Through the videos, he negated the depression and boredom by himself. In video “Talk-3”, a father is playing with his daughter on bed. By slowing down camera’s speed and sound, the artist created a sexual feeling, which is hidden within the father. This is a feeling that is unconscious of the father himself. “Talk” series caught the slight moods that hiding in people heart : cleanliness, bloodsucking and sex. The artist enlarged these moods, a little fantastic, but still under the normal experience. These videos are the personal bad indulgence of the artist, he made them in a slight easy and romantic mood, but somehow hidden a little uneasy. In these series, there is no storyline but reasonless action performance. The timeline of these videos are also disturbed. Chen Zhou is trying to break the normal reading manner of which is using storyline and timeline. He wanted to make the viewers to gain the most direct sentiment and experience.
