2015年CRI 新艺术作品展示了 在北京的东方艺术区(在线收听) |
Reporter: Located at Beijing's 22 International Art Plaza, the Today Art Museum has an art window display project which was initiated in September 2013. Since then, the artworks shown in the window have been renewed once every month. And this month's show contains a piece of special artwork: a total of three huge silicone gel-made eyes. Zhang Xianfei is co-creator of this artwork. "The three eyes artwork was created out of our real experience in our daily life. Every day, new technology nibbles at our privacy. Sometimes people may feel they have nowhere to hide." Zhang Xianfei and his wife Yue Yanna focus on the relationship and maybe more likely, the contravention of space between seeing and being seen. Zhang added that when people are gazing those eyes through window, in fact they are being peeped at, at the same time. This month's art window display has another piece of artwork from Jiang Sheng, a Buddhist who was born in 1990 in Xiamen, in the southeastern Chinese province of Fujian, and who now works as a Buddha sculptor. Jiang gives his statue-series on display in the window the name "Sheltered Deities". According to the young artist, his ten or so deity statues carry people's secret beliefs and hopes. "There are constant changes in statues of deities that people choose to worship. This has resulted in some statues being discarded and decaying. They would worship the God of Wealth when they hope to earn a lot of money. Guan Gong is a god defined as a guardian of wealth and safety. He is worshipped when a local is about to open a business, for instance, starting up a barber's shop. My artwork, which comprises a set of deity statues, is designed to reflect a frequent and unpredictable shift in the religious values of local citizens." Both artists have previously displayed their art creations as part of this art window display project. Individual inventiveness, self-expression, and creativity are all well communicated via this P2P recommendation model, which came from an art project entitled Finding Friends. This unique exhibition, which has just opened the second chapter of Finding Friends, will run till June 10th in the Today Art Museum. While friends know each other better than anybody else, this chain of friendship also blossoms in art, sustaining this unique exhibition in the days, months and years to come. For Studio Plus, I'm Zhang Wan. |
