《1199个人——龙美术馆收藏展》是一个别出心裁的展览,无论是策展理念还是布展方式,都旨在打破传统观念。应国际著名策展人,英国蛇形画廊艺术总监汉斯·乌尔里希·奥布里斯特之邀,中国当代艺术家徐震以艺术家的观点和视角对龙美术馆收藏的作品进行归纳整理,并从中策划一个极具个性的展览。
面对龙美术馆庞大的收藏体系,徐震从其中为数不少的当代绘画作品里挑选出具有人类形象的作品,并按照单个女性、单个男性、双人、多人进行分类,并按此顺序从下至上进行分层陈列展示。这无疑是一种前所未有的策划和展览方法,因此,汉斯将围绕展览与徐震进行一次深入的对话,共同探讨展览相关的学术话题,并将对话内容公布于众,以增强观众对展览的理解和互动。
本展览共涉及龙美术馆收藏的中国当代艺术作品近三百件,涵盖了从改革开放之初至今百余位艺术家所创作的人物画作品。展览标题中的数字“1199”即为此次展览作品画面中出现的总人数。通过这一展览,策展人徐震试图越过新时期以来的种种艺术思潮和创作理念,仅仅提纯画面中的人与人之间的关系,从而引证“我们是谁,我们从哪里来,我们会去向哪里”这样一个由古希腊哲学家苏格拉底提出的千古诘问,并对此人类终极问题就当代艺术层面为观者提供各种解读的可能。
1199 People—— Collection from Long Museum is an ingenious exhibition, which is aim to break the traditional conception of curatorial philosophy and the plan of installation. Invited by Hans Ulrich Obrist who is the world-renowned curator and the Co-Director, Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects of Serpentine Galleries, the Chinese contemporary artist Xu Zhen proposed an personalized exhibition from an artist’s perspective.
Xu Zhen selected a number of the paintings with figures from the rich collection of Long Museum and displays them in the order of the number of figures represented – single woman, single man, two figures, groups. This is a very original exhibition planning concept hardly adopted by the previous curators. Therefore, Hans Ulrich Obrist will have a dialogue with Xu Zhen to discuss the concept of the exhibition and some other academic topics related to this exhibition. This dialogue will be published on the exhibition catalogues to enhance the audience’s understanding of the exhibition and to provoke the interaction.
This exhibition will display more than three hundred pieces of figure paintings which created by hundreds of artists after the period of Chinese Economic Reform (which started from December 18th, 1978). The number “1199” in the exhibition title is the overall number of figure images showing in the exhibition. By this show, the curator Xu Zhen tries to across a variety of artistic ideological trends and creative concept, simply purifying human relationships from the general appearance of the pictures, in order to reply the question: “Who we are and where we came from and where shall we go?” from the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, and providing various possibility to interpret this ultimate questions of human beings form the contemporary artistic perspective.
