“solution?”  (title of the exhibition from 25 august to 9 september 2011)
“what is the name? solution?” (title of the exhibition from 10 september to 26 november 2011)
“other thoughts?”  (title of the exhibition from 27 november to…)

Wang Xiaofeng, Zhang Liaoyuan, Shao Yi and Audience

This exhibition challenges the idea of an “exhibition” by showing a progress of changes and development – that goes through a thought process of artists and results – or not results - in an art piece; in an art exhibition. Artists are taking time for rethinking and reformulating a very art piece itself, extending it to making of an exhibition – questioning the margins for a practice’s beginning, middle and end. What is a completed  creative process? Is it possible to complete a process? Is it the perception of a viewer that defines the completion?

How does an artist see his art in an exhibition environment / space?

The visible start of this exhibition was 6 months ago – it has been changing its form and direction. It is meant to be changing. What you will see is not a final product, it is a growing organism, in which things are allowed to not be finished, but to be re-thought, changed and re-interpreted.
Repeated attendance of the show would be highly recommended and even required in order to observe the process and rethink your own opinions.

Wang Xiaofeng
measures the decibels of alertness, the noise of laughter. Is it enough to rethink only one’s own life – or should we care about the system also?

Zhang Liaoyuan
reveals the role of digital software, which influences the creation of perceptions of beauty and aesthetics, creating new paths in visual language.

Shao Yi
looks for the function and the lack of function, the useful and the useless, the praise and the celebration of a tool. There is no space for self evidence.

“解决?”(2011年8月25日到9月9日之间的展览题目)

“有其他想法?”(2011年11月27日到...)

王小峰张辽源邵一和观众

本次展览挑战的是“展览”所呈现的本身改变和发展的一个过程——通过艺术家的思维发展的过程和结果——或者没有结果——体现在一件艺术作品中;一个艺术展览中。艺术家们用一段时间去重新斟酌和构思一件艺术作品自己本身,将作品扩展成为一个展览——从边缘上质疑这个做法的开始,过程以及结尾。什么才是一个完整的有创意的过程?有没有可能去完成一个完整的过程?是不是一个观者的洞察力才意味着结尾?

一个艺术家如何在一个展览环境/空间中看到他自己的作品?

这个展览可见的开头是从6个月前开始的——它的形式和方向一直在改变。这意味着改变。你将看到的并不是最终结果,是一个成长的有机体,也就是说,允许它是不成型的,让它可以重新思量,改变和解释。

我们建议您重复前来欣赏这个展览,在观察过程中重新思考你自己的想法。

王小峰
对警觉分贝和笑声的噪音做测量。仅仅重新思考一个人的生命就够了么——或我们应该关心这个制度?

张辽源
展现了数码软件的角色, 从而影响到创造美感和美观学的认识,在视觉语言中创作新途径。

邵一
注意到功能的优点和功能的缺点,有用的和无用的,对一个工具的赞美和歌颂。没有理所当然的事情。

本次展览由扎娜共同策展
