Just Stay in the Cold

哪儿凉快，哪待着去

Tong Kunniao

童昆鸟

户尔柏林很荣幸为您带来童昆鸟双篇章个展，哪儿凉快哪待着去，这也将是艺术家首次在柏林展出。

Hua International is pleased to present a solo exhibition in two chapters by artist Tong Kunniao, Just Stay in the Cold, which will be the artist's first exhibition in Berlin.

作为中国最受瞩目的年轻艺术家之一，童昆鸟的作品被牢牢固定在后媒介情景之中。其作品超越了形式的界限，涵盖了雕塑、行为、绘画、摄影和诗歌，这种媒介的跨越有时甚至出现在同一件作品之中。对童昆鸟来说，无穷无尽的消费品终将落入二手店、跳蚤市场和垃圾箱，形成了建筑世界符号学的子结构。他将这种看似无止境的商品流动描述为 "糟糕的无限"，而艺术家的角色则是一个表演性地探索其深处的清道夫。在这些拾得的碎片中，我们可以发现或想象到哪些特殊的痕迹和故事，它们又揭示了关于城市与人的何种交互，或许能从童昆鸟这些感性而固执的作品中联想一二。

In China, Tong Kunniao is one of the most sought-after artists of a generation whose works clearly stand out from those of previously known Chinese artists. Firmly ensconced within the post-medium condition, Tong’s work extends beyond formal boundaries to encompass sculpture, performance, painting, photography, and poetry—sometimes even within the parameters of a single work. For Tong, the endless supply of objects that end up in resale shops, flea markets, and dumpsters form a substructure for the semiotics of the built world. He describes this seemingly limitless flow of consumer goods as a “bad infinity” and the role of the artist as a scatological scavenger who performatively explores its depths. What special traces and stories can be found or imagined in the found pieces, what they reveal about the city and its people, we will associatively experience in Tong Kunniao's sensual and obstinate objects.

童昆鸟的名字便是一只鸟，中国艺术史上最古老的象征之一。漂浮在一个单薄支架上，保持着鸟的姿态：其作品概念源自于与动物的共生，而其中对于独立，自决与无政府主义的追求便是他艺术实验的出发点；对于社会结构的思索，也是他本次展览的主题。童昆鸟，一个忙碌的花匠、诗人，旅行者与自由灵魂，着迷于局外人的生活与社会边缘的体验，那些听起来“凉快”的角落。

Referring to his name, which means bird, Tong transforms himself into a bird, one of the oldest symbols in Chinese art history. Floating only on a self-built construction with a thin stand.  He plays with the idea of a symbiosis of work and animal because his search for independence, self-determination and anarchy is the starting point of his artistic experiments. He is concerned with breaking out of social structures, which is also the title of his exhibition. Tong - himself a busy flâneur, poet, globetrotter, and free spirit - is fascinated by life as an outsider, by living on the fringes of society.
