展览介绍

“过去之所以能延续到现在是因为某些东西的未来。”

                                                                                                                             —— 吴鼎

“扭曲的时间近乎液态，流向和速度都无法掌握。”

—— 张联

“我一次又一次回到同一个地点，试图找到我之前看到的东西。”

—— 赵谦

The Reason Why the Past can Extend to the Present is Because of the Future of Certain Objects

吴鼎    一个发光体在海滩上被潮汐逐渐淹没。这是他的一件录像作品，题目正是《过去之所以能延续到现在是因为某些东西的未来》。传统上人们惯常使用过去、现在、未来的结构来把握时间概念，这时，时间是一条线性的、均匀向前的时间之流。而在吴鼎这里，现在的存在，由于未来和过去的同时到场，过去未曾“过”、未来却时刻到来。在他的很多作品中都不断展开这种对于时间把握方式的探索：一个圆环被抛掷在前后瞬间相并置，静止直线与它运动状态的螺旋图像相并置，《上帝不会掷骰子是因为骰子的一掷注定取消了偶然性》作为一个循环视频首尾相并置、无缝相接。而一如既往的超长题目，也似乎始终提醒着我们阅读和理解它所消耗的时间。

2017

张联   她的早期绘画从收集不同时空的图像开始，通过不断地拼贴和蒙太奇引出多重的叙事线索，用图像的错觉制造出时空的错乱和悬置。在创作的叠加和发展中，《茶室》系列、《旅行者》、《朱庇特》开始描绘那些从时间的视角打量到的空间之物，时间以空间的方式现身，它是流动而多维的。在《高尔夫俱乐部》中，时间又是被文学感知浸润和渗透过的，有着自己的节奏和质感。这次展览的新作《三号房间》，来源于一件叫做Moon Jar、形状扭曲的韩国古代瓷器的记忆，而最后画面在历经记忆的沟壑和时间的发酵后呈现出来的图像，和原物已然不同。

赵谦     一份指南 A Field Guide

2016

赵谦   “从旧金山飞往上海需要10小时50分,上海和旧金山之间的时差是15个小时”，“时差”感带来的偏移和交织是他作品的潜在语境。带着旁观者的距离感，把图像和记忆、真实与虚拟在原来的时空轴中抽离而重组。此时无意义的偶然遭遇，变成可以纵身跃入的时刻，也是要被反复去抵达的时刻。在创作 《我们穿过城市去挪一辆车》时，从图片、笔记到物品、照片，他一次次再次回到原点，在拍摄的“后期”不断操练和重复。而如今，他用“一份指南”来概括自己所有作品，他说这“像是把一张纸不断地折叠和平铺”。

关于时间，充斥了“永恒”的追问：它如何开始的？是否有终点？如何被经验？外在亦或内在？线性还是循环？它可以被物理地理解为手机上的数字，钟表盘中的三根指针，也同样可以被论述成柏格森的“绵延”、海德格尔的“向死而生”。惊叹于二律背反的康德说：“事质本身是深深掩藏着的。” 随着对同一掩藏着的概念的追问和向前驱迫，经由创作所打开的不同维度的理解和感知方式，此次展览的三位艺术家在各自作品的不同层面触及了这个母题和母体。或许，这可以勾勒出一片更原始和浩瀚的视野，在时间这个巨大的寂静中瞥见那些被遗忘的裂缝。

VENUE：M ART CENTER

    M Art Center is honored to announce Rifts in Silence, the group exhibition of WU Ding, ZHANG Lian and ZHAO Qian, presenting various forms of art pieces including installations, videos and paintings, etc. The exhibition will be opened on May 26th, 2018 and remain on view through June 25th. The three artists encounter in this exhibition and together respond to the subject of time from their individual backgrounds and contexts, giving an insight into the overlooked rifts in the silent system of time.

INTRO

The reason why the past can extend to the present is because of the future of certain objects.

-- WU Ding

Neither can we control twisted time nor the direction and speed of flow.

-- ZHANG Lian

I came back to the same place time after time to encounter what I saw before.

-- ZHAO Qian

WU Ding

    In WU Ding’s video work, The Reason Why the Past can Extend to the Present is Because of the Future of Certain Objects, an illuminated object lied on the beach is being flooded by tides. In people’s traditional notion, time is regarded as a linear and evenly forward flow which is constructed by the past, the present and the future. Differently in WU Ding’s theory, the future and the past juxtapose with the present so that the past never passes and the future always comes around. The artist has made diverse experiments on this theory in his works. God Never Roll the Dice Because the Rolling is Doomed to Stay away from the Chance is a looping video of which the beginning and end is connected seamlessly. The artist puts the motions of a ring before and after being thrown up, a static line and its moving heliciform status in a same picture. Meanwhile, the characteristic long name also seems to remind us the time we spend on watching and understanding these words.

ZHANG Lian

    In the early period, ZHANG Lian used to construct multiple storytelling through the method of collage and montage upon her collection of images taken in various time and locations, making up a disordered universe which stays away from the reality. Along with developing on art practice such as the series of Tea Room, Golf Club and Jupiter, ZHANG Lian starts to represent some physical objects from the perspective of time in which the spatial time is represented as mobile and multidimensional. In Golf Club, time is endowed with its own rhythm and texture in the context of literature. Room3 which is her new completion in this exhibition is inspired from the impression of a Korean ancient crooked porcelain called Moon Jar. The video ends at the image which looks totally different from the original one after rearrangement of memory and fermentation of time.

ZHAO Qian

   “It takes 10 hours and 50 minutes from San Francisco to Shanghai by air. And the time difference between the two cities is 15 hours.” The feeling of shifting and interlacing brought with time difference composes ZHAO Qian’s context of his artworks. As a witness with distance, the artist takes the image, the memory, the reality and the virtual away from the time shaft and reunites them. At this stage, the meaningless meeting of these factors makes up an experiential moment and a repeatable moment as well. During the making of We Went through the City to Move a Car, the artist tried various compositions of images, notes, objects and photos over and over again, coming back to the original point in post-production.

    Human beings keep asking timeless question upon time. How did time exist? Does time come to an end? How do we perceive time? Does it operate interior or exterior itself? Is it linear or circular? Time can be regarded as numbers on a mobile phone and the three pointers on a clock, and can also be interpreted to the conception of Duration by Henri Bergson and Being-towards-death by Martin Heidegger. Immanuel Kant who put forward the theory of Antinomies once said that the essence of things is deeply hidden. Similarly, through questioning and pushing towards the hidden concept of time, the three artists enter the matrix of this subject from different perspective and provide diverse suggestions to experience time. The exhibition makes it possible to dive into the overlooked rifts in the overwhelming silence of time from a more original and expansive scale.
