山中天艺术中心将于2024年8月24日（周六）推出论坛“解开心灵之谜：当代艺术中的心理学视角”。

本次论坛作为群展《边缘阶段：感知、存在和技术意识的探索》展期的最后一次论坛，由策展人箫岭邀请艺术家范冉冉、艺术家谢南星和心理咨询师秦小杰，分享他们对心理学与艺术表达之间错综复杂关系的独特见解和观点。共同聚焦展出作品如何从心理层面反映或引发内省、自我意识以及对人类心灵的探索，讨论内容涵盖身份、感知、情感和潜意识等主题，邀请观众探索影响和塑造当代艺术实践的心理基础。

群展《边缘阶段：感知、存在和技术意识的探索》目前正在山中天艺术中心展出，聚焦感知、存在和技术的交汇点，展现了当代艺术家如何在数字时代反思和表达人类经验的复杂性。展览源自策展人箫岭在艺术史、哲学、心理学、神经科学和神经艺术领域的长年研究，深入探讨这些领域在机器学习和新媒体层面的意义与启示。展览通过对六位来自不同国家、跨越代际、多元学科的艺术家创作进行解读，探索当下时代的人机关系及其存在的意义。

谢南星的绘画方式充满了颠覆性。他的创作在西方艺术史上具象和抽象的两极之间游走，将它们的传统用途颠倒过来——具象的元素被用来创造抽象图像，而抽象的笔触则被用来描绘可识别的形象——以此来促进绘画这一媒介的发展。谢南星重要个展包括“谢南星：副词司令部”（佩策尔画廊，纽约，美国，2022）；“骰子滚滚”（麦勒画廊，北京，中国，2020）；“Xie Nanxing: A Gift Like Kung Pao Chicken”（托马斯·戴恩画廊，伦敦，英国，2019）；“谢南星：香料”（UCCA尤伦斯当代艺术中心，北京，中国，2018）；“无题三种”（麦勒画廊，北京，中国，2015）；“THE SECOND WHIP WITH A BRUSH”（麦勒画廊，卢森，瑞士，2013）。重要群展包括“贮藏”（麦勒画廊，北京，中国，2022）；“川美：新绘画的一代”（四川美术学院美术馆，重庆，2021)；“SNAPSHOT”（麦勒画廊，北京，中国，2021）；“意大利文艺复兴纸上绘画：一次与中国的对话”（木木美术馆，北京，中国，2021）；“Psychic Wounds: On Art & Trauma”（THE WAREHOUSE，达拉斯，美国，2020）；“中国私语”（MAK Museum für Angewandte Kunst，维也纳，奥地利，2019）；第十二届卡塞尔文献展（卡塞尔，德国，2007）；“d’APERTutto”第四十八届威尼斯双年展（威尼斯，意大利，1999）等。

范冉冉是一位装置艺术家，其创作实践涉及装置、新媒体和行为艺术领域。她在香港获得生物学学士学位，在伊利诺伊州芝加哥艺术学院获得艺术学士学位，并在阿尔伯克基市的新墨西哥大学获得工作室艺术硕士学位。曾举办多场沉浸式装置作品个展，包括哈利福特艺术博物馆（塞勒姆，美国）、The Print Center（费城，美国）、Currents 826画廊（圣塔菲，美国）、无地画廊（圣塔菲，美国）、Sanitary Tortilla Factory艺术空间（阿布奎基，美国）。其作品曾于海内外群展中展出，如马里兰州伊斯顿学院艺术博物馆（美国)、圣塔菲当代艺术博物馆（美国)、圣塔菲艺术学院（美国)、Tamarind印刷学院（美国)、OCT当代艺术中心（中国）、仁川国际海洋摄影节（韩国）。目前她在北德克萨斯大学任新媒体艺术助理教授。

秦小杰出生于四川，现居北京，并以北京为中心在全国范围内开展工作。她是一位在中国和澳大利亚均持有执照的双语心理咨询师，擅长通过沉浸式体验来推广心理健康教育，专注于为国际家庭和个体提供心理咨询服务。秦小杰拥有国际知名院校的两个硕士学位，包括比利时安特卫普大学的发展评估与管理硕士学位，以及澳大利亚莫纳什大学的心理咨询硕士学位。

在北京，秦小杰创办了两家心理健康机构。她于2015年创立了CandleX，为在华国际群体提供心理健康倡导和社会情感支持服务，并在多所知名国际学校和文化机构开展心理健康教育宣传工作，包括北京大学附属中学国际部、德威国际学校、英国大使馆文化处、德国文化中心·歌德学院等。她目前担任CandleX的执行总监。2021年，她发起了Project A，专注于为在京有家暴经历的人群提供个体和团体治疗，帮助他们进行心理重建和康复，并担任项目总监至2022年10月。

秦小杰因在京优异的心理健康工作，多年来一直受到国内以及国际主流媒体采访，她多次受邀在中央电视台国际频道、澳大利亚公共广播公司、环球时报等媒体上接受关于心理健康的采访。

箫岭拥有超过20年在中国的实践经验，以及汉学和当代艺术背景，现任博物馆、机构顾问以及策展人。她的专业领域涉及摄影、电影、表演、多媒体装置和绘画，尤其聚焦于历史和跨学科研究、新兴技术、神经美学以及艺术中的科学应用。她曾在商业画廊和非盈利机构担任负责人职位，包括麦勒画廊、墨斋画廊和三影堂摄影艺术中心。最近，她曾担任北京画廊周的展览总监。她的文章和采访曾刊登在许多国际知名出版物、展览目录和专著中。

As part of the ongoing group exhibition "Liminal Stages: Explorations on Perception, Existence, and Techno-consciousness," the Wind H Art Center will host the third and final talk in the series on August 24, 2024. Titled “Unraveling the Mind: Psychological Perspectives in Contemporary Art,” this discussion will delve into the intricate relationship between psychology and modern artistic expression.

This talk is a culmination of a series designed to deepen the exploration of themes presented in the exhibition, which is currently taking place at Wind H Art Center in the 751 Art District. By examining the intersection of perception, existence, and technology, the exhibition and its accompanying talks offer a comprehensive look at how contemporary artists are navigating and reflecting on the complexities of the human experience in the digital age.

"Unraveling the Mind" promises to be a thought-provoking conclusion to the series, inviting audiences to explore the psychological underpinnings that inform and shape contemporary art practices today.

Moderated by the exhibition curator Nataline Colonnello, this talk will bring together artists Fan Ranran, Xie Nanxing, and Psychotherapist Xiaojie Qin. The talk will delve into the psychological dimensions of the artworks on display, examining how they reflect or provoke introspection, self-awareness, and explorations of the human mind. Discussions may touch upon themes such as identity, perception, emotions, and the subconscious. The panelists will share their perspectives on the role of art in understanding and expressing psychological states.

The group exhibition "Liminal Stages: Explorations on Perception, Existence, and Techno-consciousness" stems from Nataline Colonnello’s research in art history, philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and neuroarts, delving into their implications in machine learning and new media. The show explores the contemporary human-machine relationship and its existential implications through the interpretations of six international, multi-generational, and cross-disciplinary artists.

Xie Nanxing's approach to painting is one of reversals. Working between the two poles of figuration and abstraction as grounded in Western art history, he reverses their traditional use—figurative elements produce abstract images while abstract gestures are manipulated to portray recognisable forms—as a means of furthering the medium of painting. His major solo exhibitions include: “Adverb High Command” (Petzel Gallery, New York, 2022); “A Roll of the Dice” (Galerie Urs Meile, Beijing, 2020); “A Gift Like Kung Pao Chicken” (Thomas Dane Gallery, London, 2019); “Xie Nanxing: Spices” (UCCA Beijing, 2018); “Untitled 3 ×” (Galerie Urs Meile, Beijing, 2015); “THE SECOND WHIP WITH A BRUSH” (Galerie Urs Meile, Lucerne, 2013). Notable group exhibitions include: “A Place for Concealment” (Galerie Urs Meile, Beijing, 2022); “The Generation of New Painting in SCFAI” (Art Museum of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Chongqing, 2021); “SNAPSHOT” (Galerie Urs Meile, Beijing, 2021); “Italian Renaissance Drawings: A Dialogue with China” (M Woods 798, Beijing, 2021); “Psychic Wounds: On Art & Trauma” (The Warehouse Dallas, 2020); “Chinese Whispers” (MAK Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Vienna, 2019); Documenta XII (Kassel, 2007); and the 48th Venice Biennale (Venice, Italy, 1999), among others.

They earned a BS in Biology in Hong Kong, a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, IL; and an MFA in Studio Art from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. They have presented their immersive installations in solo exhibitions in Hallie Ford Museum of Art (Salem, U.S.), The Print Center (Philadelphia, U.S.), Currents 826 (Santa Fe, U.S.), No Land (Santa Fe, U.S.), and Sanitary Tortilla Factory (Albuquerque, U.S.).
