拔起头发飞翔


文/鲍栋


鲁迅曾用“用自己的手拔着头发,要离开地球”的比喻去批判那些脱离社会性地追求“纯文艺”的人,这个比喻后来在中国耳熟能详,直到现在。[1] 这个比喻在字面上能够成立是因为其背后有一个关于作用力和反作用力的力学原理,即牛顿第三定律,总之,当一个事物既构成支点也提供动力,则无法运动。

 

但这似乎正是中国当代艺术不得不去面对的情景——我们的艺术必须同时既构成自身的支点,也形成自身的动力——如果不说是困境的话。实际上,这就是第三世界现代性历史经验的重要特征,我们要通过一个动作,完成两件,以及更多的事情,甚至那些截然相反的事情。

 

在改良传统的时候,要保持文化主体;讲求艺术的社会功能的时候,要诉求艺术的自主;面对未来,又要钩沉过去……现代性经验在中国展开的过程一直层层叠叠、磕磕碰碰。这些已然发生的历史经验,在今天,应当成为一种自觉的历史认识。

 

实际上,这种话语与行动上的论辩性呈现出了一种天然的当代性,它早就超越了现代性的线性历史逻辑,没法去预设一个可见的目标,也找不到一个可靠的参照。它是一个不断重演的事件,在这个意义上,中国的现代性与当代性已无法区别。

 

如果说“摸着石头过河”是一种审慎的、务实的历史实践经验,那么“拔起头发飞翔”就意味着一种自信且自在的当下想象力。让我们想象一下那个蹦跳着、不断扭转着身体、略显尴尬但满不在乎的人。


[1] 见鲁迅《论第三种人》,最初发表于一九三二年十一月一日上海《现代》第二卷第一期。

王音,《小说月报、坟》,布面油画,180×140cm,1993年

Wang Yin, The Short Story Magazine & Tombs, Oil on canvas,180×140cm,1993

 

1993年的“小说月报”系列奠定了王音之后绘画的基本问题意识:油画这一外来“物种”是如何在中国演化成现在这个样子的。王音的方法是把油画放到一个更大的背景,即整个中国社会现代性的背景下来看,从而理解其与整个社会文化史转变的关系。

 

《小说月报、坟》画中的“小说月报”是创办于1910年的一本文学刊物,五四运动之后,矛盾、郑振铎、叶圣陶曾先后担任主编,在此期间成为了中国新文学的重要推动者。画面上人物形象来自王音对美术作品中农民形象的印象,悠闲或百无聊赖得不像是社会主义文艺中的典型农民阶级,但又带着一顶文革时才流行开来的帽子。画中的“坟”是鲁迅的第一本杂文集,出版于1927年,而“1993”则是这副画的创作年代。整个画面略带新表现主义风格,但整体色调却充满了“土油画”的气息。就像这样,王音把他所面对的整个20世纪的中国现代文艺的经验叠合在了一起。

耿建翌,《永放光芒》,布面油画,195×133cm,5幅拼,1992年

Geng Jianyi, Eternal Rays of The Sun, Oil on canvas, 195×133cm×5, 1992


《永放光芒》是耿建翌专门为1993年威尼斯双年展准备的作品,有着“政治波普”的表面风格,但他着意的并不是文革红光亮风格的背景和工农兵形象,实际上,他暗藏了一个视觉游戏,画面中央来自五元人民币上的群像在这组作品中逐渐移动,仿佛是一个动画中的逐格五帧,画面背景上永放光芒的放射形图案也得以从政治神话中还原出来,回归了它视觉设计的本来身份。在这个意义上,这件作品是真正意义上去魅的,它没有去制造反神话的神话,而是在一个个体的日常感觉中去面对时代经验,这正是耿建翌一生都在维护的纯粹。

段建宇,《艺术女神刚刚醒来No.3》,布面油画,181×217cm,2011年

Duan Jianyu, The Muse Has Awoken No.3, Oil on canvas,181×217cm,2011


王兴伟的《济公》和段建宇的《艺术女神刚刚醒来No.3》都有着强烈的喜剧性,这种喜剧性一方面由画中形象与叙事带来的,表情、动作、戏剧情境带来了一种文学性的喜剧。而对风格的炫耀——不管是王兴伟对造型动势及笔触塑造的夸张,还是段建宇对土俗趣味及拙笔涂抹的强调——也构成了一种矫饰主义的喜剧,使绘画语言充满了表演性。第三层是文化史层面上的喜剧,用巴洛克风格去描绘济公,把敦煌神女形象放到现代乡村环境,这种大大咧咧的刺眼混搭正以一种“人间喜剧”(La Comédie Humaine)的方式对应着极速变化的中国社会,以及其尘埃未定的文化秩序。

陶辉,《德黑兰的黄昏》,彩色、有声、单频录像,4' 14'',2014年

Tao Hui, The Dusk of Teheran, Colours And Sound Single Channel Video,4' 14'',2014


马秋莎的《从平渊里4号到天桥北里4号》与陶辉的《德黑兰的黄昏》都是在一个镜头中完成了整个表演,并都通过一段影像连接起了整个人生的故事。在最年轻一代的中国当代艺术家中,影像艺术已经成为了主流,但真正使这种新兴媒介获得了切身性的人并不多。“为人生而艺术”正是这种切身性的另一种经典表达,这不仅是中国美术现代性中的传统,也是中国古代文学与艺术的重心之一,通过关照个体的人生“比兴”着社会和历史,这是新的艺术媒介或类型在中国此在经验中生根的方式。

仇晓飞,《奥特莱斯的维纳斯》,布面油画、灯光、布,480×470×358cm,2013年

Qiu Xiaofei, Venus at the Outlets Mall,Oil on canvas, light, wood, 480×470×358cm,2013


《奥特莱斯的维纳斯》是仇晓飞从物的角度看待绘画的重要尝试,作品中的雕塑来自他工作室附近的名牌折扣店,但这个夜景中的比例失调的仿金属雕塑图像只是一个参照点,仇晓飞更有意把握的是画中物、画作为物,以及画与物之间的可能关系,并在形象、色彩与材料的层面上去一一校准这些关系的感性质量。最终,绘画与图像、色彩与灯光、场域与材料形成了一个互相干扰但又契合的整体。这个阶段是仇晓飞从“图像”到“绘画”的转折点,当绘画的物体属性被认识和呈现了出来,绘画作为一种惯例的体裁才真正面对了今天的经验,而仇晓飞最近的作品则是在维持绘画这一体裁的前提下的另一层实验。仇晓飞从“学院”到“图像”,再到“装置”,最后返回到“绘画”,这似乎是一种反艺术形态逻辑的逻辑,但却包含着对中国当代绘画上下文的真实认知。

汪建伟,《生产》,单频录像、彩色、立体声,60’,1996年

Wang Jianwei, Production,  single channel, color, stereo sound,60’,1996


《生产》是汪建伟参加第十届卡塞尔文献展的作品,在这件可以被叫做纪录片,也可以被视为录像艺术的作品中,他拍摄了四川的几个当地公共空间的人群。在60分钟毫无采访痕迹的片中,大断的对话与讲述并没有去建构一个主旨,反而与随意跳动的空镜及后期刻意添加的非现实杂音构成了一种含糊而含混——不管是政治上还是美学上——的影像存在。而作品的标题也具有这一歧义丛生的特征,“生产”(Production)既是一个富有日常经验及本土经验的词汇,也是一个带着批判理论色彩的术语。总之,这件作品既体现了汪建伟之后一贯悬置式的态度与方式,也暗示了中国当代艺术只能“左右”为难的处境。

 Force as Fulcrum 


Bao Dong

Lu Xun used “pulling one’s hair with one’s own hands to leave this earth” as the analogy for criticizing those who pursued the “authentic art and literature” by isolating themselves from social contexts, this analogy has since become an idiom, commonly used in the present[1]. This metaphor stands semantically on the basis of the physical principle for action and reaction, known as Newton’s Third Law that essentially states, an object can be its own fulcrum and force while staying immobile.

 

Although this seems to be the inevitable condition contemporary Chinese art has to confront – our artistic practice should be our own fulcrum as well as our own force – if not considered an obstacle. In fact, this is the pivotal character of the historical experience of third world modernity, where we need to achieve two or more, or even entirely contrary things through this action.

 

In the process of reforming our traditions, it’s still important to preserve our cultural subjectivity; in addressing the social function of art, it’s still necessary to demand artistic subjectivity; when confronting the future, it’s still necessary to revisit the past… The process of modernization in China has always had various layers and obstacles. These existing historical experiences in today’s reality should be the knowledge about history in our conscience.

 

In fact, this kind of deliberate representation in our discourse and action embodies a natural contemporaneity, which has transcended the logic of linear progression of modernity, which can neither predict the foreseeable goal nor discover a reliable reference. As it’s becoming a recurring event, in this sense, it’s nearly impossible to distinguish the Chinese modernity and contemporaneity.

 

If “crossing the river by touching stones” is a cautious and practical approach in our historical experience, then “force as fulcrum” implies a kind of self-confident and free-spirited imagination for the present. Let us imagine someone who jumps up and down, twisting and turning one’s body, but unconcerned about one’s somewhat awkwardness. 


[1]  See Lu Xun On the Third Type of Person, first published on November 1, 1932, in the Shanghai periodical, Les Contemporains, Vol. 2, No.1. 


Wang Yin, The Short Story Magazine & Tombs

The 1993 The Short Story Magazine series grounded Wang Yin’s essential questions he thereon addressed in the practice of painting: how has the oil painting, this foreign "species" evolved into its current state in China. Wang Yin's approach is to place this artistic medium in a greater context that is, the contemporaneity of the entire Chinese society, in understanding its evolutionary relationships with the entire cultures and society.

 

In the painting The Short Story Magazine & Tombs, The Short Story Magazine was a literary periodical founded in 1910, after the May Fourth Movement, where Mao Dun, Zheng Zenduo, Ye Shengtao have been its editor-in-chief, during this period, it has become the critical promoters for new literature in China. And the figure in this image was drawn from Wang Yin’s impression of farmers from other works of art, whose lackadaisical or idle composure does not match the typical farmer class seen in socialist art and literature, yet who wore the popular hat from the Cultural Revolution period. The Tombs, was the title of Lu Xun’s first collection of essays, published in 1927, and in 1993 was the year this painting was completed. As much as this work on canvas embodies certain expressionist style, its color palette is replete of impressions for “earthy oil painting”. In such a way, Wang Yin has stacked together Chinese modern artistic and cultural experience of the entire 20th Century. 


Geng Jianyi, Eternal Rays of The Sun

Eternal Rays of the Sun series were works Geng Jianyi has prepared specifically for the 1993 Venice Biennale. The work may seem to embody the “political pop” style, when in fact the artist’s emphasis was not to highlight the red, bright and glorious background of the Cultural Revolution and its representation of the farmers, worker, and soldiers class. Instead, it concealed a visual game where the center of each painting consists of the shifting foci of the group photograph on the backside of the 5 yuan bill. As if these paintings are five fixed frames of an animation, the radiant background could thus be taken out of the political myth and be restored to its initial impetus in visual design. In this sense, this work was meant to disenchant, rather than creating a myth to demystify, it confronted the experiences of a time through an individual's everyday sentiments, this was the ingenuity Geng Jianyi has preserved throughout his lifetime.


Wang Xingwei,Ji Gong 

Duan Jianyu, The Muse Has Awoken No.3

Both Wang Xingwei’s Ji Gong and Duan Jianyu’s The Muse has Awoken No.3 both offer conspicuous comical impressions, which on the one hand, articulate a kind of literary comedy from the narrations of the figures on canvas, their expressions, motion, theatricality and etc., while stylistically – be it Wang Xingwei’s compositional momentum and the exaggeration rendered through brushwork, or Duan Jianyu's kitsch and crass emphasis – give shape to the comedy of mannerism, providing theatricality for the language of painting. Thirdly, they are comical on a cultural history level as they have adopted the Baroque style to portray the Mad Monk and placed the Goddess on Dunhuang murals into modern countryside context, this kind of casual yet poignant fusion has taken the “La Comédie Humaine” approach to respond to the rapidly evolving Chinese society and the unsettled dust of cultural order. 


Ma Qiusha, From No.4 Pingyuanli to No.4 Tianqiaobeili

Tao HuiThe Dusk of Teheran

Ma Qiusha’s From No.4 Pingyuanli to No.4 Tianqiaobeili and Tao Hui’s The Dusk of Teheran are both performances captured by a single camera lens, and both of which have strung together the stories of a lifetime through a single-channel video. Among the younger generation of contemporary Chinese artists, video art has become the mainstream, but those who have adopted this medium to manifest their personal perspectives are still few. “Art for the sake of life” is another classic expression for this kind of personal expression, not only is it part of the modern Chinese art, but also a core component in ancient art and literature, that the concerns of life of an individual as an “analogy” for society and history, this is how new artistic medium or genre grow their roots in existing Chinese experiences.


Qiu Xiaofei, Venus at the Outlets Mall

Venus at the Outlets Mall was Qiu Xiaofei’s critical attempt to look at painting through the perspective of an object. The sculpture in his work is the one found in the outlets mall close to his studio, but the disproportional ratio in the night setting has made the sculptural replica into a referential point, what Qiu Xiaofei was more interested in commanding was the object in the painting, painting as the object, and the possible relationships between the object and the painting. In addition, he adjusted the sentimental qualities in these relationships on the pictorial, color and material levels. Eventually, the painting and the image, color and lighting, site and material became mutually interrupting yet congruent factors to the overall composition. This phase marked Qiu Xiaofei's transition from "image" to "painting" when the physical quality of the painting is recognized and represented, could painting truly confronts today's experience as a conventional vehicle, and Qiu Xiaofei's recent works experiment on a different level as he preserves this medium. Qiu Xiaofei's transition from being "academic" to "pictorial", to "installation" and lastly returning to "painting", seems to follow a logic against the artistic form, but one that embodies a true understanding of precedent and subsequent painting practices in contemporary Chinese art. 


Wang Jianwei, Production

Production was the work of art Wang Jianwei presented on the 10th Documenta in Kassel. This work could be both considered as a documentary film and a video work. Wang filmed a few groups of people in the public spaces of Sichuan. In this 60-min clip without any traces of interviews, large sections its dialogues and monologues did not build up a central narrative, on the contrary, its discontinuous empty shots and its intentionally added artificial noise done in post-production engendered a kind of ambiguous and mixed – either politically or aesthetically - visual presence. Likewise, the title of the artwork equally embraces this bewildering character. "Production" is both a terminology rich in every day and local experiences, and a technical term with critical and theoretical implications. In all, this work is not only prescient for Wang Jianwei’s ongoing ambivalent attitude and approach thereafter, but also underscores the wavering conditions between “left and right” for contemporary Chinese art.
