胶囊上海 | 2020 Liste Showtime | 冯晨

胶囊上海荣幸宣布，我们将在Liste Showtime线上展览中呈现中国艺术家冯晨（生于1986年）的三件具有代表性的作品：系列摄影作品《20hz - 30hz之间》、碳纤维雕塑《蜜蜂》和多媒体装置《光的背面：震颤》。

Liste Showtime是一个在线平台，由72个国际画廊分别展览和销售一位艺术家的作品。与此同时，这也是一个合作艺术家项目，由画廊挑选的艺术家将以海报的形式讨论并对题目“重写我们的想象力”做出回应的创作。这些海报将于2020年9月2日至15日在巴塞尔的公共空间展示和出售。

此次 Liste showtime 线上展厅中展出的冯晨的作品之一《20hz - 30hz 之间》是一系列数字艺术微喷。这些照片记录了水与20赫兹到30赫兹之间的音频相互作用的自然现象。这系列作品创造了一种视觉上的联觉，描绘着难以觉察的细微的景象。正因此，最终的印刷如同通过人工手段创造出来的有机棋盘，探索着图像和声音之间的关系。

从2016年开始，冯晨一直在创作一系列的雕塑作品，作品运用了当代技术，采用了典型的轻质碳纤维。《蜜蜂》来自于《建筑学》系列作品。碳纤维具有高刚性、高抗拉强度、低重量等特点，在航空航天、土木工程、军事、汽车等领域得到了广泛的应用。尽管如此，这种材料仍然要求精湛的工艺，而把它变成一种坚硬的形状只能通过手工制作。《蜜蜂》这个名字指的是这些碳纤维雕塑中类似于蜂巢的外形。

《光的背面：震颤》于2017年胶囊上海的“冯晨个展”中首次展出。这件作品中，自动化系统剖析着人们对于身体和空间的感知，对人类和机器的关系进行反思。本次在Liste Showtime呈现的实验性装置包括一系列机械化的流程，散落在展厅各处的尺寸各异的电子显示屏上播放着身体局部的画面，身体随着各种同步的声音而搏动，如自然界的声音、击掌声等。此外，冯晨将视频装置与展厅内随着视频中声音而有节奏地开合的百叶窗相结合，形成一个沉浸式装置。

与此同时，我们荣幸宣布冯晨将参与于2020.9.20 - 2021.1.10位于UCCA沙丘美术馆的群展“请注意––––”。

Capsule Shanghai is pleased to announce our participation in Liste Showtime with Chinese artist Feng Chen (b.1986). We will present online three works representative of Feng Chen's practice: the photoseries Between 20Hz-30Hz, the carbon fiber sculpture Bees, and the multimedia installation The Darker Side of Light: Convulsion. 

Liste Showtime is an online platform for 72 international galleries, where they present an artist from their programme in detail and offer works for sale. At the same time, it is a collaborative artist project in which artists selected by the galleries address the theme "Rewriting Our Imaginations" in the form of a poster. The posters will be shown and sold online as well as on view in public space in Basel from 2–15 September 2020.

Feng Chen’s series titled Between 20Hz-30Hz consists of a series of giclée archival prints. The photographic prints document the natural phenomena of water’s visual interaction with audio frequencies between 20 Hertz and 30 Hertz. The work creates a synesthetic visual representation of a spectacle otherwise imperceptible. Consequently, the resulting prints resemble organic tessellations created through artificial means to explore the relationship between imagery and sound.

Starting in 2016, Feng Chen has been developing a series of sculptures that employ contemporary technology in the characteristically light, but tensile carbon fiber. Bees belongs to a series called Architecture. The properties of carbon fiber such as high stiffness, high tensile strength, and low weight, make it very popular in aerospace, civil engineering, military, and motorsports. Nevertheless, it is a material that still requires craftsmanship and the process of turning it into an extremely rigid form may only be hand-made. The title Bees refers to the formal shape of the carbon fiber sculptures’ form resembling that of a beehive. 

The Darker Side of Light - Convulsion was first shown at "Feng Chen Solo Show" at Capsule Shanghai in 2017. The work presents automated systems that dissects our perception of body and space and new reflections on the relationship between man and machine. It consists of various mechanized operations including digital monitors of various sizes placed throughout the room displaying images of body parts pulsating rhythmically to synchronized noises such as sounds from nature, a slap, or electronic responses. Feng Chen also combines the video installation with an immersive installation of automated flickering window blinds reacting to the pulsing sounds of the videos.

We are also pleased to announce that Feng Chen will participate in the group exhibition "A Call to Attention" at the UCCA Dune from September 20, 2020 to January 10, 2021.
