作为“当代委托”项目的一部分，发起人安娜·科利瓦馆长（Anna Coliva）在博尔盖塞美术馆呈现张恩利此次特别委托创作的装置展览《鸟笼，临时的房子》。展出的多件作品分布于美术馆的多处空间内，如“大鸟舍”以及临近的“特拉蒙塔纳神秘花园”之中。本次展览由杰拉尔迪内·列阿尔迪（Geraldine Leardi）和乐大豆（Davide Quadrio）合作策展。

As part of the Contemporary Commissions program, conceived by Anna Coliva, the Galleria Borghese presents Zhang Enli’s monumental site-specific installation Bird Cage, a temporary shelter. Set in some spaces of the Museum, in the “Uccelliera” and in the adjacent “Giardino segreto di Tramontana”, the project is curated by Geraldine Leardi and Davide Quadrio.

常驻上海的艺术家张恩利（1965年出生于中国吉林省）通过其作品映射出他对艺术和建筑之间关系的思考，尤其是与此次展览空间——博尔盖塞美术馆与其紧邻的神秘花园之间的特殊关联。通过对概念换位、历史呼应以及混合主义的探索，张恩利创作了四组具有象征意义的结构体用以揭示了出乎意料的叙事线索。游曳于复杂的历史地层和等同分层的现实环境下，张恩利引发了对来自远方和多元融合文化中传说故事的遐想。

Shanghai-based artist, Zhang Enli (b. Jilin, China, 1965), reflects on the relationship between architecture and art, in particular on the special relationship between the Galleria Borghese and the adjacent secret garden. Playing with transpositions, historical echoes, and hybridism, Zhang Enli creates four symbolic structures to reveal unexpected narratives. Playing between the complexity of historical strata and the equally layered reality of the present, Zhang evokes tales from distant lands and admixtures.

在大鸟舍展厅中的两件作品让人直接联想到柱子、塔、以及沿着丝绸之路分布的各种宗教性建筑（例如希腊式的柱子、市政塔、波斯的宫殿、以及撒马尔罕的清真寺宣礼塔）。艺术家在这些建筑性元素的表面作画，通过对光、色彩、表面的利用，生成抽象的联想，并反观于博尔盖塞美术馆多彩宏大的构建。户外装置作品则是对“第三景观”这一概念的现实演绎：绘制的自然景观与真实景象并置且相映成趣。艺术家挪用了闲置空间的构造，并以建筑模块中最重要的一个单位，一个立方体，实现了对这一空间的转变。公众可以步入空间之内，沉浸其中与之互动。

The two structures inside the Uccelliera recall columns, towers, and religious architecture encountered along the Silk Road (Greek columns, municipal towers, Persian palaces, and minarets in Samarkand). Painting on these architectural elements, the artist generates abstract suggestions through the use of light, colors, and surfaces, which in turn refer to the Galleria Borghese and its chromatic universe. The external structure, instead, plays with the concept of a “third landscape”: a painted version of nature that stands right next to the real one. The painter appropriates an uninhabited space and transforms it in the most primary architectural module, a cube, that the public can enter and interact with in an immersive way.

最后，位于门廊两侧展出的是两组雕塑《迷彩球》。张恩利以绘制涂抹的迷彩球作品呼应了博尔盖塞美术馆作为雕塑本身以及雕塑载体的思考。作品被安置于连接主展厅与户外花园展区的过渡区域，不仅在地理上连接内外的空间格局并承上启下了艺术家整体创作的核心内涵。

Lastly, the Camouflage balls placed in the Porch, Zhang Enli reflects on the Galleria Borghese as a place of sculpture; the choice of being located in a transit area, in an inside/out, stitches up the very meaning of his overall intervention.

装置中透露出的精细而又复杂的特质总结了近年来张恩利的创作状态，他以超二维的绘画方式在空间内进行实验。通过使用多种形变和反射，张恩利从博尔盖塞美术馆馆藏作品的色彩与结构中汲取灵感，创造出蕴含多种绚丽色彩、光影交织的抽象与有机形态。其中这些藏品不乏来自提香、贝利尼、卡拉瓦乔和贝尼尼的经典杰作。

The sophisticated and nuanced references in Zhang Enli’s installation sum up the work the artist has been producing in the past few years, operating beyond bi-dimensional painting practices and experimenting with space. By means of deformations and reflections, Zhang Enli produces chromatic effects, lights and shadows, abstractions and organic forms, inspired by the colors and compositions of artworks from the Galleria Borghese’s collection; references in his work include masterpieces by Titian, Bellini, Caravaggio, and Bernini.

在博尔盖塞美术馆构想的特别项目之下，张恩利深入地探究了寻常材料在其创作中的多种表现形式与延伸可能性。通过他的绘画及艺术手法，其作品在抽象化的进程中又实现了物化的升华。诸如纸板、木材、胶带等寻常媒介超越了物品的日常性成为了艺术作品的重要组成部分。对这些材料的使用同时也是对呼应全球共振的艺术形式的致敬，特别是贫穷艺术。艺术家此次的创作基础受博尔盖塞美术馆及大鸟舍的外立装饰表面的启发。

With this project conceived for the Galleria Borghese, Zhang Enli continues his exploration of poor materials. In a process of abstraction and sublimation achieved through his pictorial and artistic gestures, humble media such as cardboard, wood, and adhesive tape become artistic components. Their use is at the same time a tribute to artistic forms that have stirred global resonance – in particular, Arte Povera – and the creative base on which the artist paints, inspired by, in this case, the decorated surfaces of the Galleria Borghese and the Uccelliera.

关于张恩利

About Zhang Enli

Courtesy Zhang Enli Studio

无论是描绘人类的生命活动，还是日常事物，对于张恩利来说，从根本上都从属于一个目标——那就是将绘画本身视作一种生命活动。作为一个从常民生活的日常出发来呈现世界的画家，张恩利对于各种事物都会倾注同等分量的关心与热情，无论它是一个水筒、一个柜橱还是一个人的行为。所有的呈现对于他来说，既是再现，也是表现。从手法看，薄涂是他的拿手好戏。在经常是无以名状的线与面、面与面的相互转化中，被张恩利在画布上薄薄地涂绘出来的单个或成组的物件，获得了具体的质感与体量感。他笔下的某些物件，有时就像浸泡在画布空间中，在薄薄的颜料中四下漫漶溶解开来，隐约浮现。

For Zhang Enli, painting—whether his brushes are illustrating human activity oreveryday objects—isa vital activity.

As an artist who focuses on some of the more prosaic elements in daily life, Zhang devotes the same amount of passionate attention to every object, be it a bucket, a wardrobe or a person. Each painting is not only a representation, but an expression as well. His signature expressive lines and curves are influenced by traditional Chinese brush technique, but are always underpinned by the structure of pencil-drawn grids. Immersed in the inherent space of his canvas, painted objects seem on the verge of dissolving into the thin layers of paint.

他的空间绘画装置作品，打破了当下流行的装置艺术放弃绘画、只堆放物件的范式，成为了一种以绘画为主要手段和语言的装置作品。步入他的“画”，我们站在了时间与空间的双重空虚之中，房间（工作室、卧室等）里被移走的各种物件所散发的存在感，以及不在的寂寞，都是通过过去存在的种种痕迹来诉说。这种在有无之间所展开的思维活动与视线活动，大大刺激了我们对存在这一命题的思考。

In the ongoing series Space Paintings, Zhang focuses on the language of painting and applies gouache directly to the walls, creating an immersive and nostalgic environment. Removed objects are implied only by the traces they have left within the space, encouraging the viewer to visualize and reflect on the underlying metaphors of “presence” and “absence.”
