“大象出走”试图回应后疫情时期的当代社会以及生活形态。该展览通过五位年轻的中国艺术家方迪、李明、彭祖强、沈莘和陶辉的全新委任创作，呈现一个独立与纠缠的对话情景。大象具有典故寓意，在中国古代文化中，“盲人摸象”的故事描述难以辨别的大象之形和真实难以捕捉的轮廓。在乔治·奥威尔的小说《猎象记》中，经常破坏庄稼的大象不断激化着殖民者与殖民地之间的复杂关系。2020年3月开始的云南野象北迁事件，揭示了自然界长期变迁过程中人对环境不可逆转的影响。大象持续给予我们关乎权力变化的想象和警示。在此，大象出走，或庞然大物的缺席，为我们提供了一个待定状态：当固有秩序的搁浅以及对应的时间结构失效时，当个体故事不再沿着整齐的进步弧线展开时，我们如何休耕？

路内于2020年1月出版的长篇小说《雾行者》在追踪个体时代命运的同时，谱写了一个关于从1998年洪水到2008年北京奥运会的复调叙事。复调这一音乐概念原指一首曲子有两个以上的主旋律，后被文学评论家借以讨论小说文体的诗学特征。通过非线性的故事情节，《雾行者》塑造了时代变迁中的诸多角色，他们各自平等地拥有自己的世界、价值观和独立意识。透过众多性格和命运构成的物质世界，可以窥见大规模人口流动在中国社会塑造中所起到的关键作用，其背后的全球化、市场化的驱动力至今仍然值得反思。思考当下，这十年的当代史也为我们提供了记忆回溯的通道与心理建构的支撑。

相较于本世纪初中国社会的流动性和急速发展，今天社会的节奏已经由急板转入了渐慢，个体受困于思想和身体交流的种种障碍。出走的大象使人惊愕，提醒着要去面对那些显而易见却一直被忽略的问题，将耗尽的养分恢复到土壤中。待定并非必然，重要的是学习拥抱无始无终的当下，甚至学会赞美僵局。展览“大象出走”延续了美凯龙艺术中心自创立以来持续探讨的问题：“我如何成为复数?”这不仅是针对个体与集体、艺术家与机构之间不断变化的关系的持续追问，也是对艺术创造重新获得复调的期待。

“The Elephant Escaped” attempts to respond to contemporary society and life in the post-pandemic era. Through all-new commissions by five young Chinese artists, Fang Di, Li Ming, Peng Zuqiang, Shen Xin, and Tao Hui, the exhibition will present a dialogue between independent yet enmeshed elements. The elephant is an allusion that has existed for centuries. The story of the blind men and the elephant shows the difficulties of identifying an elephant and, by extension, of grasping the contours of the truth. In George Orwell’s essay “Shooting an Elephant”, elephants frequently destroying crops intensify the complex relationships between colonists and colonies. The northward journey of Yunnan’s wild elephants that started on March 2020 revealed humanity’s irreversible influence on the environment amidst longer-term changes in nature. Elephants continue to give us visions of and warnings about power shifts. Here, the elephant escaping leaves a giant void, an indeterminate state: How can we lie fallow when inherent order has run aground, its corresponding temporal structures become invalid, and personal stories no longer follow neat progressive arcs?

In his January 2020 novel Wuxingzhe (Mistwalkers), Lu Nei traces his personal journey, while telling a polyphonic story that stretches from the 1998 floods to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Polyphony, a concept from music, originally referred to the combination of two or more melodic lines in a song, but it was later adopted by literary scholars to discuss the poetic qualities of a novel’s prose. Through non-linear narrative, The Fog Walker presents several characters amidst changing times, each with their own worlds, values, and independent consciousnesses. Through a material world comprised of multiple personalities and stories, we can appreciate the key role that large-scale population flows have had in shaping Chinese society. The drivers of globalization and marketization that underpinned those flows are still worthy of reflection. Considering the present, the last decade of contemporary history provides us with a passageway to memory and a support for psychological constructs.

Despite the mobility and rapid development of Chinese society at the beginning of this century, the pace of society today is transitioning from presto to ritardando. Individuals are troubled by the various obstacles to intellectual and physical communication. The escaped elephant is astonishing, reminding us that we have to confront those obvious yet constantly overlooked issues, restoring exhausted nutrients to the soil. Indeterminacy is not inevitable; what’s important is learning to embrace the eternal present, and even learning to appreciate deadlock. "The Elephant Escaped" continues the interrogation of a question that Macalline Art Center has explored since its founding: “How can I be plural?” We have continued to interrogate the ever-changing relationship between the individual and the collective, finding renewed hope for polyphonic artistic creation.

Tao Hui was born in Yunyang, Chongqing, China. He graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute with a BFA in Oil Painting in 2010 and currently lives and works in Beijing, China. Tao traversed into the art of video and installation, drawing from personal memories, visual experiences and popular culture to weave an experimental visual narration, the focus of which is often our collective experience. Running throughout his work is a sense of misplacement vis-à-vis social identity, gender status, ethnicity and cultural crisis, prompting the audience to face their own cultural histories and living conditions.
He won the special award of Contemporary Art Archive from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2008 and ‘Art Sanya & Huayu Youth Award’ in Sanya in 2015. He also won the grand prize of 19th “Contemporary Art Festival Sesc Videobrasil”, and was shortlisted for “HUGO BOSS ASIA ART Award for Emerging Asian Artists” and International Competition sector of the KINO DER KUNST festival in 2017.
