Newsletter — Ai Weiwei interview, Why Biennales are Boring, and reviews
of Zhang Xiaogang and more
|
|
This week
on randian we’ve got an earful from Ai Weiwei talking about his
recent Gangnam-style spoof and the usual incendiary topics, plus a rant from
Rebecca Catching about why biennales have become so intolerably dull. In
Beijing, we’ve got Liang Shuhan reviewing Zhang Xiaogang’s new work at
Pace Beijing, along with a peek into the personalities behind “ON|OFF”, a
showcase of cutting-edge young artists at UCCA. Finally, last month while
our Beijing editor Iona Whittacker was toodling around Hong Kong, she took in
Adrian Wong’s “Rodentia in Absentia” at Saamlung and “Do Androids
Dream of Electric Sheep?” at
Para/Site.
在本周的《燃点》中，我们为你准备了丰富多彩的内容：从艾未未谈论他近来江南STYLE视频和常常具有煽动性的话题，以及林百丽就为何双年展已变得如此极致乏味的大声咆哮。在北京，我们有梁舒涵对张晓刚在佩斯北京最新展览的展评，以及窥探“ON|OFF”活动背后，在UCCA尤伦斯当代艺术中心展示的新锐年轻艺术家们的个性特点。最后，当我们的编辑爱安阿闲庭信步于香港时，她则带我们走进了Saamlung画廊中王浩然的《啮齿动物不在场》和Para/Site艺术空间的《机器人会梦见电子羊吗？》。

Interview
with Ai Weiwei
Ai Weiwei, 55,
is a noted Chinese artist, writer, filmmaker and commentator. Son of the poet Ai
Qing, who was denounced in 1958 and dispatched from Beijing to Xinjiang Province
for hard labor, Ai Weiwei is an outspoken critic of the Chinese government and
its policies. He does not consider this stance and his status as an artist to be
mutually independent …

PARA/noid 偏执/狂
Aside from the
Best Title prize it deserves (albeit borrowed — from Philip Dick’s science
fiction novel of 1968, the inspiration for Blade Runner), Para/Site’s current
exhibition “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” is
diverting...
Para/Site目前的展览《机器人会梦见电子羊吗？》是摘取“最佳展览标题奖”的不二之选...

In All Seriousness
“严肃”这件严肃的事儿
We have all had this feeling —
the aching legs, yearnings for a couch on which to rest our tired haunches,
salivating for a cappuccino, drooping eye lids...
我们都有过这样的感觉：双腿酸痛，眼观八方寻找沙发好让我们疲乏的腰歇歇；眼帘下垂，幻想一杯卡布奇诺从天而降...

Rodentia in Absentia
“Rodentia in
Absentia” is the quirky title of Adrian Wong’s current solo exhibition. That the
artist has put a great deal of effort into conceiving and realising these works
does not go unnoticed. Saamlung’s compact white space plays host to a
mini-landscape of planar sculptural pieces or objects — one draws a sensation of
containment and territory from grids, shelving and frames...

ON and OFF with Xu Qu
“ON|OFF”展览：徐渠访谈
Xu Qu: I researched the term online, and discovered
“ON|OFF” was the name of a very famous gay bar that used to operate in
Beijing...
徐渠：很有意思，我在网上搜索了一下，发现“On Off”是以前北京的一个很有名的同性恋酒吧的名字...
