关 于 对 谈

“非对称考古学：凝视机器”是常驻伦敦的意大利艺术家夸尤拉（Quayola）在中国的首次大型个展。展览对过去进行了重新想象，通过机器的视角再次发现自然。这种对过去的重游，完全排除了人类的主观视角，透过客观的机器之眼审视过去、现在和未来的关系，展现非对称之美。

在夸尤拉的作品中，希腊化时期的雕塑、古代大师绘画和巴洛克式建筑等古典艺术形式偏离了原有的图像语义，再生成为数字抽象作品。本次展览特邀策展人崔斗银长期关注媒体艺术的发展，她将空间视为一个实验室，用来进行结合与重组科学知识、艺术实践和历史故事所产生的经验和美学的实验。此次艺术家对谈，崔斗银将与夸尤拉就此次展览的理念与艺术家自身的创作脉络展开讨论。

对 谈 嘉 宾

 夸 尤 拉 

生于1982年，意大利罗马

生活工作于英国伦敦

夸尤拉利用科学技术之镜探索看似对立的力量之间的紧张和平衡，譬如：真实和虚拟、具象和抽象、旧事物和新事物。通过在具有历史意义的建筑地标上搭建沉浸式装置，他借助最新的科技对经典图像进行重新想象。希腊化时代的雕塑、古典大师绘画和巴洛克建筑是历史美学的一部分，也是夸尤拉抽象作品的出发点。他纷繁多样的创作都出自定制的计算机软件，其作品形式还包括视听表演、录像、雕塑和纸上作品。

夸尤拉已举办10场个展，并通过群展、公共装置和行为表演的方式在世界各地广泛展出过百次。展览美术馆和艺术节包括：公园大道军械库（美国纽约）、维多利亚和阿尔伯特博物馆（英国伦敦）、东京宫（法国巴黎）、国立加泰罗尼亚艺术博物馆（西班牙巴塞罗那）、乔治亚艺术博物馆（美国乔治亚州）、Paco Das Artes（巴西圣保罗）、普希金博物馆（俄罗斯莫斯科）、电子艺术节 (奥地利林茨）、Elektra数字艺术节（加拿大蒙特利尔）、声纳音乐节（西班牙巴塞罗那）、日本媒体艺术节（日本东京）和圣丹斯电影节（美国犹他）。

2013年，夸尤拉荣获电子艺术大奖的金尼卡奖。

 崔 斗 银

About the Talk

Asymmetric Archaeology - Gazing Machines is London-based Italian artist Quayola’s first large-scale solo exhibition in China. This exhibition reimagines the past and rediscovers nature through the perspectives of machine. The past is revisited in relationship with present and future - exploring asymmetry that completely excludes humans’ subjective views and leaves machine processed objective ideas.

Through these processes, classical art forms such as Hellenistic sculptures, old master paintings, and Baroque architecture are detached from iconographical semantics of the past to be regenerated into digital abstract works. As a curator, Doo Eun Choi treats the space as a laboratory for experimenting with the types of experience and aesthetics that can emerge from combining and recombining scientific knowledge, artistic practices, and historical narratives. In HOW Art Museum’s artist talk, Doo Eun Choi will discuss with Quayola regarding topics such as the curatorial ideas and the artist’s artistic practices.

About the Guests

 QUAYOLA 

b. 1982, Rome, Italy

Lives and works in London, England

Quayola employs technology as lens to explore the tensions and equilibriums between seemingly opposing forces: the real and artificial, figurative and abstract, old and new. Constructing immersive installations, often at historically significant architectural sites, he engages with and reimagines canonical imagery through contemporary technology. Hellenistic sculpture, Old Master painting, and Baroque architecture are some of the historical aesthetics that serve as a point of departure for Quayola's abstract compositions. His varied practice, all deriving from custom computer software, also includes audiovisual performance, video, sculpture, and works on paper.

Quayola’s work have been shown widely around the world through 10 solo exhibitions and over 100 group exhibitions, public installations and performances. His past exhibitions include Park Avenue Armory, New York, USA; Victoria & Albert Museum, London, UK; Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France; Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain; Georgia Museum of Art, Athens, GA; Paco Das Artes, S?o Paulo, Brazil; Pushkin Museum, Moscow, Russia; Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria; Elektra Festival, Montreal, Canada; Sonar Festival, Barcelona, Spain; Japan Media Art Festival, Tokyo and Sundance Film Festival, Utah, USA. 

In 2013, Quayola was awarded the Golden Nica at Prix Ars Electronica.

 DooEun CHOI 

DooEun CHOI is currently working on Quayola: Asymmetric Archaeology touring exhibition and BIAN (International Digital Art Biennial) 2020 in Montreal. Choi has recently worked as co-curator of Aurora Biennial in Dallas, art director of Da Vinci Creative 2015/2017, and chief curator of Art Center Nabi in Seoul. Since 2000, she has also curated numerous international media art exhibitions in Kyoto, Beijing, Madrid, Geneva, Enghien-les-Bains, Istanbul, Montreal, San Jose, New York, Linz and many other cities across Korea. Choi’s previous projects include Han Youngsoo: Photographs of Seoul 1956–63 at ICP MANA (2017); Why Future Still Needs Us: AI and Humanity at Art Center Nabi in Seoul and QUT Art Museum in Brisbane (2016-17); BIAN (International Digital Art Biennial) at Arsenal Montreal (2016); Mediacity Seoul 2012 Biennial at Seoul Museum of Art; and ZERO1 Biennial 2012 at Zero1 Garage. As a curator, Choi treats the space as a laboratory for experimenting with the types of experience and aesthetics that can emerge from combining and recombining scientific knowledge, artistic practices, and historical narratives.
