颜磊——哥萨克骑兵

颜磊的項目是根据脑子里的哥萨克的概念中的图像形成的,这个概念通过委托李振华安排实施,并执行项目的制作:十来个哥萨克骑兵集中在一个六平米的房间里舞弄着马刀,这些哥萨克人同时做出的动作和马刀之间以及磕撞墙壁的声音,会传出这个空间,与展览现场的空间构成了一种空间和能量关系的不匹配。

项目的执行,通过策展人李振华的理解,哥萨克人舞刀的现场,空间局促,刀受到空间的限制。哥萨克人在回避限制的时候,在墙壁和窗台留下刀痕。几个哥萨克人共处一室,刀锋上下盘旋,最终与颜磊需要的图像一致,这一语境被年轻的哥萨克人激动的神情和自然的表演所取代。这个作品是一个来自表演者和被委托人实施的。这与颜磊在之前网络世界,或人与人的交流中,敏锐的发现图像一致。——李振华

YAN Lei was born in Hebei Province, China in 1965, and graduated from the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts (now known as the China Academy of Art), in Hangzhou, in 1991. Yan is a singular and unconventional figure in the Chinese contemporary art world. Adopting an independent and distant attitude, he explores and unveils different issues, such as power relationship, competition or the closeness of values and prices, that exist in the art system, through various media ranging from painting, sculpture, installation to video and performance. His works often incorporate multiple and often contradictory values. This ambiguousness shows, on the one hand, the artist’s alertness to and reflection on the various problems in art making today, and on the other, the solitude that he has from being part of the system and his complex feelings confronted with vulgar reality.
