2020年9月18日至11月1日,哈佛大学中国艺术实验室(Harvard CAMLab)将与上海Urban Network Office艺术空间合作,首次呈现多频影像装置作品《火梦》。展览旨在展示从人类中心主义 (anthropocentrism) 到生态中心主义 (ecocentrism) 的视角转换,通过戏剧性的音画编排,将人类感官体系投射到物质媒介中,营造物我两忘的虚实体验,呈现不同物质间的变化过程,进行人与生态相互融合的生命思考。From September 18th to November 1st,2020, Harvard CAMLab will be presenting Fire Dream for the first time in curatorial and venue partnership with Shanghai’s Urban Network Office. Fire Dream, a multi-channel film installation, queries the presumed primacy of human agency, and alludes to a simultaneous convergence and inversion of anthropocentrism and ecocentrism. The viewers will experience first-hand the transformative process an array of natural elements will undergo on-screen, and will embody these protagonists in their metamorphosis.

Harvard CAMLab Exbibition Mock-up预告片链接:https://v.qq.com/x/page/w31493i00nc.html《火梦》最初的创作灵感源自于陶瓷艺术家赵梦的作品,艺术家在创作过程中,利用稻草、纸浆等不同材料,通过控制火温烧制出特殊的块状陶瓷,再以数字化的方式记录,将其合成为“怪石”,最后打印到宣纸上。整个创作过程像一种生态循环:宣纸由纸浆、稻草制成,从草到草、从纸到纸,中间经历物质转化以及燃烧等自然现象,最后又回归于实际物质载体。
艺术家赵梦
The sparks of inspiration that lit Fire Dream into conception were the works created by ceramic artist Zhao Meng. Zhao’s creative process challenges his traditional ceramic training by incorporating raw materials such as straw or wood ash during the sculpting process. The idiosyncratic involvement of these elements represent an intentional departure from the elements’ traditional usages in ceramic creation. Zhao’s process mirrors that which occurs ecologically: from straw in all its forms back to straw. Contemporary ecology fuses the intentionality of nature and humanity, twining agency with all elements as they flow and flux through time.
CAMLab《火梦》影像节选
赵梦在进行艺术创作的时候,他并没有在做雕塑,而是通过不规则形状的泥块组成雕塑,用摄影影像的方式将不同材料组合起来,形成“怪石”作品。某种意义上,赵梦已经进入到了一个数字化信息时代的工艺制作,将传统雕塑、陶瓷烧制与摄影、数字印刷结合,通过内在的趣味性探索何为“雕塑”的同时,也是对传统“美术”观念的重新定义。
Zhao Meng’s artistic journey coalesces in a collection of multi-dimensional “scholar’s rocks.” He allows the natural properties and processes inherent in each material he uses to guide him in the making of sculptural components. Only with digital transmutation do the pieces come to life. This final step of digital creation launches Zhao’s works into the realm of New Media, while still anchoring his work in tradition, realized as prints on xuan paper. His approach reimagines the role of “traditional” aesthetics and art while questioning the epistemology of sculpture.
CAMLab《火梦》影像节选
《火梦》为CAMLab长期线上研究性展览项目,此次带来的影像装置节选“燃烧”与“灰烬”两幕,试图用实验性视听解构再重组的方式,开启在人类主体与物质生态、现代媒介与传统技艺、“有情”与“无情”之间的追问与反思,探索个体与集体、理性思维与感官认知之间的微妙关系。通过物质性与虚拟感不断地交融互换,邀请观众体验一场以火为介,多重维度的音画交响,在无常的循环中感悟万物变迁与幻灭重生。
From these roots, Fire Dream was first introduced as a permanent online exhibition and now presents the stages of “Fire” and “Ash” to its audience at large. Through transfiguring the visual and auditory senses, the film calls its viewers to reconsider their recognition of the liminal stages between dichotomies that many have become familiar with. The transitional stage within aesthetics, creative techniques, feeling, questioning and philosophical ecology are all welcome to play out within Fire Dream and in the minds of its viewers. Rather than leaving with a conclusive impression, the film is intended to celebrate the process of fire and firing and the potential of living through a sensorial orchestra of all entities.

如何在艺术创作中注入文化思考与历史内涵,将学术成果转化为可以直接体验的空间叙事(multi-media storyliving),是实验室创立的初衷之一。此次线下开放日希望邀请观众一同探索并分享我们的部分创作过程,体验多媒技术作为载体背后的人文精神与趣味。CAMLab Open House Pop-up ExhibitionHow might we instill artistic creation with the soul of cultural consideration and historical gravity? What is the process and interactions that inform how rigorous academic research can be translated into multi-media storyliving? These questions inform how CAMLab has continuously strived towards excellence in its field. This on-site event alongside its Asia debut project Fire Dream welcomes visitors to explore selected projects that embody our mission and experience firsthand how technological experimentation informs creative production and the joy of creation.
视觉和触觉是探讨艺术时两个重要的感官维度,而两者之间的关系,亦是手跟眼的关系,手是手工,眼是眼见。然而这两种感官却往往是艺术呈现的时候,经常会矛盾的地方,看到的东西不一定能抓到,反之亦然。随着数字化信息时代的到来,手工的痕迹与作用渐渐被消解甚至掩盖。在当下的语境中,我们该如何讨论“雕塑”?Fire Dream Collaborator Zhao Meng Artist's Talk
Vision and tactility, as key components within the scope of human sensations bring opposing potential towards the engagement between art and its audience. As sight expands potential of thought, touch grounds its experiencer in time and space. In the advent of digitization and altered reality, only vestige traces of the artisan remain. Given the contemporary social context, how might we conceive and engage with the concept of “sculpture”? CAMLab Seminar 线上分享会
Look forward to seeing you all.更多展览信息,请关注CAMLab公众号(Harvard CAMLab)后续推送。
