上海艺术家胡昀的艺术实践体现了他对叙事、历史和细微感知的深刻思考。在过去的十多年中，胡昀一直在“跟踪”那些传播自然历史和宗教等知识论的关键人物，这些概念在16世纪至19世纪期间伴随着西方现代性和殖民主义在全球范围内扩展，对欧洲及其殖民地之间的商品、物种和人员流动产生了影响。资本家、博物学家和传教士的探索路线与殖民贸易和海上扩张的路线密切相关，上海这样的港口成为殖民和资本主义扩张的关键地点，也是在这样的时代语境下诞生了一批早期的博物馆。

上海外滩美术馆呈现胡昀的首个在中国的美术馆个展“远山”。本次展览是艺术家职业中期的一个回顾性展览，也是一个介入性的实践。展览以上海外滩美术馆所处的建筑，1933年为中国最早的自然历史博物馆——亚洲文会上海博物馆所建，为出发点。艺术家在跨越三层楼的空间中交织个人叙事、历史事件和自然元素，挑战可视以及不可视的历史叙事并激发内省。

展览标题取自20世紀法国作家、哲学家、诗人勒内·多马尔(René Daumal)未完成的冒险小说《远山》(又译作《虚拟山》)。小说的核心是一群探险家的故事，他们发现了一座只有通过特殊精神状态才能到达的、隐藏的虚构山峰一一虚拟山。这座山被描绘成连接大地和天堂的桥梁。小说通过描写探险家的追求、他们所面临的挑战以及他们在攀登过程中的精神和哲学启示，探索了现实与超验、物质与精神、可见与不可见之间的界限。

展览的设计受到胡昀工作的启发，把入口设定在1933年博物馆的“后门”，从一个被忽视的入口出发重新组织被刻意碎片化的艺术家过去10年的工作。22件作品像在大爆炸后一样“无序”的放置在美术馆的四、五、六楼以及连接它们的楼梯间内。对胡昀来说，历史叙事可以是一次又一次被取代的，他自己的工作也可以一次又一次被再次推演。

“胡昀:远山”从既定历史的滑脱之处出发，呈现了那些偶然间逃脱了积累、分类和归类过程下的物质，图像，声音，以及文字。当观众踏入展厅的瞬间，便开启了一场关于自我组织历史叙事的远征。历史判断涉及到人和观点，每一个在当下的观点都和其他一样，没有所谓的“客观”历史真理。通过不断的跟踪、挖掘、收集、编辑和再编辑物质和非物质材料，作为观者的我们也加入了在真实和想象的中间地带关于信仰、历史叙事、冒险、知识体系和自我发现的思考。

Shanghai-born artist Hu Yun is renowned for his profound insights into narratives, histories, and nuanced perceptions. Over the last decade, he has meticulously "followed" pivotal historical figures instrumental in disseminating knowledge concerning natural history and religion in Asia. These fields burgeoned globally during the 16th to 19th centuries amidst Western modernity and colonialism, profoundly influencing the exchange of goods, species, and people between Europe and its colonies. The routes traversed by capitalists, naturalists, and missionaries often intersected with colonial trade and naval expansion paths, with ports like Shanghai emerging as crucial nodes in this expansionist and capitalist milieu. It was within such a context that some of the earliest museums came into being in Shanghai.

Hu Yun's first solo museum exhibition in China, “Mount Analogue”, marks both a mid-career retrospective and a site-responsive intervention. It is situated within the edifice presently housing the Rockbund Art Museum, which in 1933 served as the location for China's first natural history museum - the Royal Asiatic Society Museum. “Mount Analogue” intricately interlaces historical events, personal narratives, and natural elements, aimed at interrogating historical accounts that oscillate between the visible and the invisible, stimulating introspection.

The exhibition's title is an homage to an incomplete adventure novel by René Daumal, a 20th-century French polymath. Daumal's narrative chronicles a group of adventurers questing for a mystical mountain accessible only through an elevated spiritual state. This mountain serves as a metaphorical conduit between the terrestrial and the celestial realms. Through the protagonists' odyssey, their tribulations, and the spiritual and philosophical epiphanies they encounter, the novel probes the interstices between reality and transcendence, the corporeal and the metaphysical, and the perceptible and the imperceptible.

The exhibition layout mirrors Hu Yun's artistic ethos, positioning the entrance at the long-neglected "back door" of the 1933 museum. Deliberately fragmented and reconstituted, artworks spanning the past decade are scattered across the museum's fourth, fifth, and sixth floors, as well as the interconnecting staircases. Evocative of the aftermath of a big bang, 22 pieces of artworks are intentionally disarranged, challenging linear historical narratives. For Hu Yun, historical accounts are endlessly substitutable, mirroring the iterative nature of his own creative process.

“Mount Analogue” embraces the fluidity of established histories, serving as a tribute to materials, imagery, voices, and texts that fortuitously eluded processes of accumulation, classification, and categorization. Upon entering the gallery, visitors embark on a self-guided expedition through historical narratives. Recognizing that historical understanding is inherently subjective, each perspective is deemed equally valid, debunking the notion of an"objective" historical truth. By incessantly tracing, scrutinizing, collecting, editing, and re-editing both tangible and intangible materials, viewer are encouraged to engage in contemplation about faith, historical narratives, adventure, systems of knowledge, and self-discovery within the intermediary zone between reality and imagination.

关于艺术家

ABOUT THE ARTIST

胡昀1986年出生于上海，2008年毕业于中国美术学院。现生活工作于上海和贝尔格莱德。

胡昀的作品包括绘画、水彩、行为、录像和装置。通过调动来自不同人和历史的经验，胡昀将各种以往生产过的材料重新纳入自己的日常工作中，因此，无法孤立地去看待他的每一件作品，每一个项目都享有共同的话题，都是有所预设、彼此关联的。

胡昀参加了第十届亚太当代艺术三年展（2021），第六届新加坡双年展（2019），第十一届光州双年展（2016），第四届广州三年展（2012）以及第七届深圳雕塑双年展（2012）；他的作品也曾在广州美术学院大学城美术馆，昊美术馆，上海当代艺术博物馆，巴黎蓬皮杜艺术中心，广东时代美术馆及余德耀美术馆等机构展出。他的个展包括 “胡昀：远山”，上海外滩美术馆，上海，中国，2024；“失语所”，AIKE，上海，中国，2023；“微缩景观”，新加坡国立大学博物馆，新加坡，2019；“我们从未离开过”，西安OCAT，西安，中国，2017；“叙事病”，AIKE，上海，中国，2016；“轻拿轻放”，AIKE，上海，中国，2013；“我们的祖先”，歌德开放空间，上海，中国，2012；“自然的图像”，英国自然历史博物馆，伦敦，英国，2010。

Hu Yun was born in 1986 in Shanghai. He graduated from China Academy of Art in 2008 and currently lives and works in Shanghai and Belgrade.

Hu Yun’s works range from graphite and watercolors to performance, video, and installation. Interested in how an individual positions him or herself within the course of history, he constructs the links that probe the inseparable coexistence of past and present, individual and public. He is adept at mobilizing various personal and historical experiences, incorporating previously produced materials into his artworks; as a consequence, it is impossible to consider any of Hu’s works in isolation since they all share a common theme, an element of foreshadowing, and they are all conceptually interconnected.

Hu Yun has participated in the 6th Singapore Biennale (2019), the 11th Gwangju Biennale (2016), the 4th Guangzhou Triennial (2012) and the 7th Shenzhen Sculpture Biennale (2012). His works have also been exhibited at Art Museum of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts; How Art Museum; Power Station of Art, Shanghai; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Times Museum, Guangdong and Yuz Museum, Shanghai. His selected solo exhibitions include “Hu Yun: Mount Analogue”, Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, China, 2024; “distantia”, AIKE, Shanghai, China, 2023; “Another Diorama”, NUS Museum, Singapore, 2019; “We’ve been here before”, OCAT, Xi’an, China, 2017; “Narration Sickness”, AIKE, Shanghai, China, 2016; “Lift with Care”, AIKE, Shanghai, China, 2013; “Our Ancestors”, Goethe Institut, Shanghai, China, 2012; “Image of Nature”, Natural History Museum, London, UK, 2010.
