OCAT 西安馆十分荣幸在五周年之际与温哥华美术馆（The Vancouver Art Gallery）达成合作伙伴关系，将温哥华美术馆曾委任徐浩恩（Howie Tsui）创作的作品《混沌护卫》呈现给本地观众。

此次展出徐浩恩的作品《混沌护卫》是一部长达17米的卷轴式的电影动画。作品内容以宋代（公元960-1279）英雄守卫民众的生活故事为参照。从武术小说和奇幻文学的武侠题材中汲取灵感和主题，由数百张独立画稿组成。每一张画稿上的人物形象栩栩如生，伴随取自武侠电视节目的背景音乐，画面接连在银幕间循环播放。最特别之处在于这件作品既没有开头也没有结尾，通过计算机程序随机放大和缩小各种动画场景，使得每一次的作品观看都成为一种全新体验。

OCAT Xi'an is thrilled, in this our anniversary year, to join in partnership with the Vancouver Art Gallery, which commissioned artist Howie Tsui to create the work Retainers of Anarchy in 2017.

Retainers of Anarchy is a scroll-like film organised around a large format video projection 17 meters in length that references the life of heroes and the communities they protect during the Song Dynasty (960–1279AD). It draws for inspiration and motifs upon the wuxia genre of martial arts fiction and fantasy. As an animation, Retainers is the result of hundreds of individual drawings, special here is that the video there is neither beginning nor end in the conventional sense, only the computer programme randomly zooms in and out of the various animated scenes creating a new experience each time the work is viewed.

关于艺术家

常驻温哥华的艺术家徐浩恩1978 年出生于香港。他于2002 年毕业于加拿大安大略滑铁卢大学并获得艺术学士学位。作为一位独立艺术家，他的作品一直在身份和历史等问题进行探索。作品由各种灵感来源与元素的结合，以包括中国传统绘画图案与当代插画或漫画的形式进行呈现。

About the Artist

Vancouver-based artist Howie Tsui was born in Hong Kong in 1978. He graduated from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, in 2002 with a BFA. Through his career as an independent artist, his work explores on-going questions of identity and history, among other things. This is achieved by combining elements and inspirations from multiple sources including traditional Chinese painting motifs with contemporary forms of illustration like manga.
