BANK 荣幸于西岸艺术与设计博览会2020年 xiàn chăng 单元呈现艺术家张移北的雕塑作品《蛇的尾巴与身体》。出自伊索寓言：“蛇的尾巴和身体争吵要求让它来带路，不该老跟在脑袋的后面。可由于尾巴没有眼睛和鼻子，最终它带领着身体横冲直撞，掉进一个石洞里。”作品描述了一则带有纷争的故事，其视觉的表达上刻意的避开正面冲突。装置的主体选择了蓄能器即螺旋弹簧，使其力量平衡，呈现最舒展的姿势。不同方向的玻璃气泡、高压电阻器也试图以看似平和的神态描绘着一场权势的角逐。

BANK is honored to present artist Yibei Zhang's work in Westbund Art & Design 2020 xiàn chăng section.  “Body and tail of snake" is borrowed from Aesop's fable wherein the snake's tail quarrels with its head, insisting that he should lead the way. However, as the tail has no eyes nor brains, it eventually leads the body over a cliff to its death. The moral of this story of conflict and tragedy is to know one’s place in the world. The artist expresses this visually in her coiled sculptures whereby the main core of the spring in its most extended posture balances power. Glass bubbles and high-voltage resistors placed along the main spine, both eerily figurative and ornamental, expose inherent contradictions with a seemingly peaceful aura.

关于艺术家 

About the artist

张移北从一个假定的命题出发，在介于艺术家、材料与观念三者关系的重新思考。在这种构思/反思过程中，艺术家和她的材料形成了实在世界，实在世界构成了观念世界，思维和材料共同构成了艺术家的意象，这种意象就像鸡与蛋的关系，通向了艺术家与材料之间的合作关系。因此，材料、艺术家和思想注定要共存。那么什么是材料，谁是艺术家呢？观念在哪里？我们也许可以认为，艺术家挑选她的材料，无论是石头、硅还是世界上已经存在的东西(现成物)，因为她把她的材料组合成她的潜意识的参考物体。这给移北提出了一个问题，即材料是否属于艺术家，或者反之亦然，即相对于材料，艺术家被选择、移动，或者对于艺术家来说，材料被移动、选择。

Yibei Zhang start with a proposition, that is, a rethinking of the relationship between artist, material and ideation. In this rethinking, the artist and her materials form the entity world and the entity world frames the ideation world; ideation and material together compose the imagery of the artist and this imagery leads, chicken and egg-like, to the collaboration of artist and material. Material, artist and ideation are therefore fated to co-exist. What then is material and who is the artist? Where is ideation? We might deem that the artist picks her material, be it stone, silicon or things that exist in the world (found or sought objects), because she combines her materials as reference objects to her subconscious. This poses for Yibei the question of whether the material belongs to the artist or vice versa, i.e. relative to material, the artist is moved and relative to the artist, the material is moved.
