APSMUSEUM论坛｜“孤独及其所创造的”将于2月24日举行

In the afternoon of February 24th, APSMUSEUM will invite Ms. Alice Chen, founder of Positive Art Research Centre (PARC) , Mr. Shi Yong, artist, Artistic Director of ShanghART Gallery; Mr. Yang Zhenzhong, artist, to have a conversation on the artworks of Shi Yong and Yang Zhenzhong, two of the participating artists of Ensemble Urbain. The forum will be hosted by Mr. Sun Qidong, curator of Shanghai Minsheng Art Museum.

The topic of the forum is the eponymous of the memoir by Paul Auster, the renowned American writer. In the book, solitude makes Paul Auster deviate from his pursuit of the self, which becomes a metaphor for the artist’s creation state.

“当一切都无迹可循，当一切都与世隔绝全无影踪的时候，人们能做的就只有观察了。但人们能否从观察到的东西里找出意义，则全然是另一回事。”

“When everything is untraceable and isolated, all people can do is to observe. However, it is quite another matter whether people can find meanings from what they observe.”

The artist constantly has dialogue with material, time and space, and emotions, but the works he creates always leave the viewer in a state of aphasia, turning the viewer into an outsider. And then, the permanent image of an outsider—if not the only one—is a true portrayal of life in modern urban life with nowhere to stop. The forum, “The Invention of Solitude”, hopes to take the exhibited works and artistic practices of artists Shi Yong and Yang Zhenzhong as start point, together with all the audience, whether or not they attend the event, to abandon the single interpretation of art and think about what real art is.

杨振中(Yang Zhenzhong)，《栅栏》(Fence)，2017.6.14-9.11，特定空间装置，箭厂空间，北京

In the exhibition of Ensemble Urbain at APSMUSEUM, Shi Yong presents the work Inside or Out. The concept of the work is derived from the spatial reorganization of the simplified Chinese character “Inside”: the strokes of “Inside” are dismantled, and the dismantled strokes are reconstructed in an enclosed way. A separate hinge is placed at each stoke connection, so that it can be closed inward (locking fasteners are set at the last two stroke junctions as a hint that it can be closed completely) or opened outward. The reconstructed spatialized font is set in the ambiguous state of the closed and the opened.

Yang Zhenzhong presents the video work Light and Easy 2 in the exhibition. In the work, he arranged the video of cityscape along the Bund upside. Beneath the appearance of urbanization, Yang realized the change in physical weight of the city and therefore defined its weightlessness as a descriptive element in this piece by holding the crucial construction upside down. In this very series, Light and Easy encourages the awareness accompanied by significance. The series smashes the inside and the outside, which are previously separated, and produces a drama which is both amusing and thought-provoking.

By discussing space, the inside and the outside, the two artists express different understanding of urban landscape changes, human consciousness, knowledge, text, and materials.
