关小：产品养殖 Guan Xiao: Products Farming

Bonner Kunstverein

 2019.2.2 – 2019.4.28

Bonner Kunstverein宣布呈现关小的新展览。

关小的艺术实践主要围绕雕塑和视频创作，她广泛引用包括了古代东西方传统以及当代流行文化的文化史。以前的作品分别采用了自由女神像，米开朗基罗的“大卫”（约1501年），大型石像或复活节岛上的“moai”作为主题。

“农业或种植对我来说是最科幻的东西…… 我们越思考未来，越去创造所谓的文明世界，我们就越远离自然、土地和我们自己。”

------ 关小，2018

“产品养殖”将展示艺术家最新的雕塑和视频，这些作品集中思考了当代生产与自然世界的关系。

一系列的6个树根雕塑参考了中国古代雕刻树根的传统。关小将这种扭曲、纠结的根描述为“完美的物体”，他们既自然，又经由化学成分和环境条件塑造，又是现成品。这些拟人形作品采用这种根形式来支撑其他雕塑组件，包括遮阳伞，相机三脚架，麦克风，跑鞋，电缆和彩色绳索。在另一组名为Things I can 't Forget 的作品中，看似计算机图标效果图的物件被串连并用螺栓相继固定，形成了图腾柱 。第三组作品采用了窗户的形式，上面堆满了照片、办公室玩具和其他物品。她将自己的雕塑描述为“拼贴画”，在拼贴画中，她试图以一种“打破一个物体的固定语境”的方式去“连接两种非常不同的结构或材料”。

这些雕塑作品将与一件三通道的视频作品一起展出，体现对怀旧和乡愁的思考。

此次展览是关小在德国的第一次机构个展。该项目由Kunststiftung NRW提供资金支持，并得到柏林Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler和上海天线空间的大力支持。展览开幕由Reverchon赞助。

Bonner Kunstverein announces a new exhibition by Guan Xiao. 

Working primarily in sculpture and video, Guan Xiao quotes from a broad range of cultural history that includes references to ancient Eastern and Western traditions as well as contemporary popular culture. Previous works have variously adopted The Statue of Liberty, Michelangelo’s ‘David’(c.1501) or the large stone statues or ‘moai’ on Easter Island as subjects.

‘agriculture or farming is the most sci-fi of things to me… The more that we think about the future, and manufacture the so-called civilized world, the farther we distance ourselves from nature, the land and ourselves.’

-Guan Xiao, 2018

Products Farming will present new sculpture and video that collectively consider the state of contemporary production in relation to the natural world. 

A series of 6 Root Sculptures refer to the ancient Chinese tradition of carving tree roots. Guan Xiao has described the twisted and gnarled roots as representing the ‘perfect object’, being both natural, shaped by their chemical composition and environmental conditions and a readymade. These anthropomorphous works employ such root forms to support other sculptural components including parasols, camera tripods, microphones, running shoes, electrical cable and coloured rope. In another group of works, entitled Things I Couldn’t Forget, objects that appear to be physical renderings of computer icons are threaded and bolted on top of one another to create totemic columns. A third body adopts the form of windows cluttered with photographs, executive toys and other objects. She has described her sculpture as ‘collage’ in which she tries ‘to connect two very different structures or materials’ in a way that ‘can break the fixed context of an object’.

The sculptural works will be exhibited together alongside a three-channel video work composed as a meditation on nostalgia and homesickness. 

The exhibition is Guan Xiao’s first institutional solo exhibition in Germany. It is funded by Kunststiftung NRW with additional support from Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin and Antenna Space, Shanghai. The exhibition opening is sponsored by Reverchon.
