周六线上活动预告｜“希望的原理”艺术家讲座系列三：黎家齐、张哲熙

本周六，中间美术馆将举办“希望的原理”艺术家讲座系列第三回。我们将邀请两位参展艺术家黎家齐、张哲熙分享他们的创作与研究。本次讲座由印帅主持，讲座为中文

张哲熙是一位现居伦敦的华裔艺术家，他的工作围绕生态学概念、非官方的经济和公地的历史展开，涉及对知识和技术系统如何塑造政治学和社会欲望的探讨。在展览“希望的原理”中，艺术家所呈现的作品《波亚伊人！》借鉴了 19 世纪最大胆的金融骗局之一：通过虚构和宣传迎合殖民目光的中美洲“乐土”——波亚伊，数百万英镑本不存在的债券被制造并售出以谋取暴利。艺术家展示其收藏的19世纪购买波亚伊股票证书，并通过朗读描绘虚构乐土物产丰富的指南和播放计算机生成的波亚伊风景视频，在展览中留下历史中关于“未来”线索，让真实历史与虚构场景之间不断变化，从而松动已有的叙事和观点。

黎家齐同样对于事物的视觉表象和内在实质感兴趣，并尝试将二者间的距离拉开，探索二者的相对独立性和相互转化的可能。视频作品《我们的电视，您的成功》将不同时期、不同厂商的电视广告剪辑在一起，探究作为成功范式的电视机符号和关于电视机的图像在生产、传递、消费中的不同状态，并且在作为图像的电视机和电视机中的图像层叠嵌套中，在屏幕里向观众对可以跳脱出现实的乌托邦愿景进行许诺，以幽默的方式揭示内在于图像中的期盼和欺骗性。

两位艺术家通过各自的研究和对历史的回望与再解读，让我们有机会与那些不同的性格、文化，不同的世界观和宇宙观在展览中相遇，连接了空间而非时间概念上的“未来”，将某个未来世界的遥远过去呈现在我们面前，构造了一种陌生化的想象，质疑了“唯一”存在的未来，同时提出了另一些想象。

欢迎大家加入我们的线上讨论！

This Saturday, Beijing Inside-Out Art Museum is going to hold the third artists' talk for the exhibition The Principle of Hope. We will invite two participating artists, Li Jiaqi and Gary Zhexi Zhang to talk about their art practices and researches. The event will be in Chinese and will be moderated by Yin Shuai.

Gary Zhexi Zhang is a London-based artist who was born in China and whose work revolves around ecological concepts, unofficial economies, and the history of the commons, involving an exploration of how knowledge and technological systems shape political and social desires. In the exhibition The Principle of Hope, the artist presents the work Poyers! draws on one of the most audacious financial scams of the 19th century: the production and sale of millions of pounds of non-existent bonds for huge profits through the fictionalization and promotion of the Central American "playground", Poyers, which catered to the colonial gaze. The artist presents his collection of 19th century certificates for the purchase of Poyers shares and leaves a historical "future" thread in the exhibition by reading guides depicting the richness of the fictional playground and playing computer-generated videos of Poyers’ landscapes, allowing for a constant shift between real history and fictional scenarios, thereby loosening existing narratives and perspectives.

Li Jiaqi is also interested in the visual appearance and the inner substance of things, and tries to distance the two, exploring their relative independence and the possibility of mutual transformation. His video work Our TV, Your Success edits TV commercials from different periods and manufacturers, exploring the different states of the symbol of TV as a paradigm of success and the images about TV in production, transmission and consumption. In the nesting of the TV as an image and the images in the TV, the viewer is promised a utopian vision that can break out of reality on the screen. He reveals in a humorous way the expectations and deceptions inherent in the images.

Through their respective research and reinterpretation of history, the two artists give us the opportunity to meet with different personalities, cultures, worldviews and cosmologies in the exhibition, connecting the "future" in space rather than time, presenting us with the distant past of a future world, constructing a strange imagination, questioning the "only" future that exists, while proposing other imaginations.

Please feel free to participate in our online discussion!
