黛博拉-乔伊斯·霍尔曼

“特写/密语空间”

展期：2024年7月20日至9月17日

开幕：2024年7月20日（16:00-18:00免费对公众开放）

地址：油罐艺术中心T馆，上海市龙腾大道2380号

上海油罐艺术中心安静地呈现黛博拉-乔伊斯·霍尔曼（Deborah-Joyce Holman）在亚洲的首个个展“特写/密语空间”。多学科艺术家黛博拉-乔伊斯·霍尔曼在为T馆特别策划的全新三频道装置中呈现了他最新的同名动态影像作品。

 “特写/密语空间”完全剥离了叙事结构，展现了两个容易被视为过渡的场景。这正是黛博拉-乔伊斯·霍尔曼作品的代表性特征：他运用日常琐事作为对抗黑人生活中那些常被视为奇观的反作用力，并将这种表现作为重新谈判自主性概念的工具。霍尔曼的艺术实践涉及视觉文化、种族和酷儿问题的深刻探讨，这些都在更广泛的经济和符号机制背景下影响了他的艺术创作方式。

该展览得到瑞士文化基金会上海办公室给予艺术家的旅行支持。

黛博拉-乔伊斯·霍尔曼生活和工作于英国伦敦和瑞士巴塞尔两地。他持续的绘画、动态影像、声音和装置创作探索了在当代和前沿的黑人和酷儿视觉文化中的场所和所运用的一系列拒绝策略。他的作品在国际上展出，最著名的个展包括2023年的伯尔尼美术馆和Gregor Staiger画廊（苏黎世）；2022年的科尔多瓦（巴塞罗那）、瑞士学院（巴勒莫）、schwarzescafé（Luma Westbau，苏黎世）、Sentiment（苏黎世）、伦敦当代艺术学院（伦敦）；以及2021年的Cherish（日内瓦）。即将举办的个展包括2024年的弗莱堡艺术协会（德国）和2025年的瑞士学院（纽约，美国）。黛博拉-乔伊斯·霍尔曼由Gregor Staiger画廊（苏黎世/米兰）代理。

TANK Shanghai quietly presents “Close-up/Quiet as it's kept,” Deborah-Joyce Holman’s first solo exhibition in Asia, supported by Pro Helvetia Shanghai, the Swiss Arts Council. The multidisciplinary artist Deborah-Joyce Holman presents their eponymous recent moving image work in a new three channel installation conceived especially for Tank T. 

Close-Up/Quiet as it’s kept, stripped entirely of narrative structure, portrays two scenes that could easily be discarded as transitional. This is representative of Deborah-Joyce Holman’s work: they deploy the mundane as a counterforce against the spectacle Black life is often represented as and as a tool to re-negotiate the notion of agency in the creation of said representation. Holman’s practice engages critical discourse on visual culture, race and queerness, all of which inform their approach of artmaking as a node within a wider context of economic and semiotic mechanisms.

Supported by Pro Helvetia Shanghai, the Swiss Arts Council.
