It is equally crucial how the artists deal with the problematics of ink art. Through the use of heterogeneous materials, concepts, and formal techniques, how the artists achieve conceptual transformation creatively. Besides denoting interchange between Eastern and Western cultures, “Crisscrossing East and West” as the theme of the exhibition also calls for broader visions and insights to widen the realm of ink art. Stones from other hills may serve to polish the jade of this one. From diversity to pluralism, artists who come from different backgrounds and traditions are invited to gather here in Mainland China, specifically at the MOCA Yinchuan to reflect upon the works of one another. It is hoped that through such encounters, intertextuality as well as intertextual relationships can be established to help enhance the aesthetic remaking of contemporary ink culture.     銀川當代美術館聲東擊西-東亞水墨藝術的當代再造聯展,將展出吳季璁《煙林圖之二》、《氰山集》、《皴法習作》等五件錄像與平面作品。 聲東擊西-東亞水墨藝術的當代再造 时间:2017.06.18 – 2017.08.20 地点:银川当代美术馆 策展人:王嘉骥   参展艺术家: 安美子(韩国)、张相宜(韩国)、黄致阳(台湾)、郑光熙(韩国)、江大海(中国大陆)、金浩得(韩国)、上原木吕(日本)、李茂成(台湾)、李义弘(台湾)、梁铨(中国大陆)、林延(中国大陆)、三濑夏之介(日本)、潘信华(台湾)、邱黯雄(中国大陆)、任戬(中国大陆) 、尚扬(中国大陆)、藤原志保(日本)、宋陵(中国大陆)、屠宏涛(中国大陆)、王天德(中国大陆)、王雅慧(台湾)、吴季璁(台湾)、徐冰(中国大陆)、徐累(中国大陆)、严善錞(中国大陆)、杨世芝(台湾)、余友涵(中国大陆)   银川当代美术馆将于2017年6月18日至2017年8月20日呈现“声东击西—东亚水墨艺术的当代再造”展览,由王嘉骥策展,邀约来自中国及东亚其他国家和地区的27位艺术家,通过装置、绘画、视频等形式,将展出总数超过120组件的代表作,呈现不局限以水墨纸绢作为素材的创作。 此次展览所使用的“声东击西”一词,除了是在东、西方文化交会的层面上,反思水墨艺术于当代再造的可能之外,也期待艺术家籍由异质性的物质、观念与形式手段,能够激荡出多重的诠释及创作上的可能。透过“再造”,希望透过东亚几个地区的部分艺术家创作,进行对照式的观察与展览呈现,重视起艺术家创作的问题意识与观念转化,唤醒更多艺术家省视和思考水墨文化在历经西潮强势且持续的侵袭与冲击之后,演变至今的美学面貌及文化意义。 他山之石可以为错,借由多元性的展陈,也许是文化背景上的迥然不同、历史命运上的似曾相识,或是个人创作方法上的刻意立异,来自各地的艺术家在中国大陆齐聚一堂,借由银川当代美术馆独特的空间,可以彼此观照,互为文本,为水墨文化提供具有当代意义的美学再造契机。   主办单位:银川当代美术馆 赞助单位:宁夏民生文化艺术教育基金会

The urge to create visions… 1929 – 2017, May 27 – Sep 17, Centre of Polish Sculpture in Orońsko
吳季璁作品《水晶城市》於波蘭雕塑中心展出

/ “The urge to create visions…”1929–2017 27th May – 17th September 2017 Museum of Contemporary Sculpture Curator: Grzegorz Musiał Coordinator: Leszek Golec Work on Display: Crystal City 007 Participants: Elias Crespin, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Wojciech Fangor, Paweł Grobelny, Mikołaj Grospierre, Bethan Huws, Kimsooja, Lin Yi, Michał Martychowiec, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Jesus Rafael Soto, Franciszka and Stefan Themerson, Ludwig Wilding, Chi Tsung Wu The international exhibition organized in cooperation with the Signum Foundation includes the works of outstanding artists of historical avant-garde and contemporary artists. The exhibition will be the highlight of the summer season 2017. The title of the exhibition refers to Stefan Themerson’s essay from 1936, published in 1937 in the second edition of the avant-garde magazine ‘f.a.’ (artistic film). Themerson mainly discusses in it the problems of artistic film, which is one of the media in this exhibition, however, the visual experiences connected with movement, light, time and space are also interesting for artists working outside the realm of film. The presentation has the form of collage and is happening simultaneously on several levels of experimenting with the widely understood visuality. It is a record of the past and present dreams about this amazing experience. Historical and contemporary artists taking part in the exhibition engage in media dialogue, going beyond  linear narrations. Chronologically, the exhibition opens with László Moholy-Nagy’s film Ein Lichtspiel schwarz weiss grau from 1930, shot with the use of a light modulator, kinetic sculpture on which the artist had been working since 1922. In the context of the film, several installations of contemporary artists will be shown: Bethan Hus will present White, Grey, Black from 2016 and Wu Chi-Tsung will present Crystal City 007 from 2015. Beside a series of Stefan Themerson’s abstract black-and-white  photograms, you will see Yi-Chun Lin’s large format pictures, made with the use of state-of-the-art electronic equipment. Spatial pictures of Jesus Rafael Soto from the first half of the 60s, inspired by Pierre Boulez’ music, lead a dialogue with Michał Martychowiec’s video, which is a visual variation on Soto’s iconic work, Penetrables, created in 2010 at the Palazzo Dona in Venice. The series of photographs titled The Sun Unfolded made in 2008 by Korean…
