新闻稿 Press Release:

拾萬空间(杭州)将于2023年11月4日在画廊的户外空间带来艺术家金亚楠和翟宇辉的最新作品。

草地永远是那片草地。绿草一旦枯黄颓败,嫩芽随即倏倏冒头,历经风霜、几度枯荣,草地终会复绿。金亚楠和翟宇辉的这次展览,从草地生发,在习以为常的事物中捕捉凋零与新生的转合。 

日常物是翟宇辉工作的主要对象,在材料和形态的转换中,日常物从惯常的语序中被解放出来,形成新的叙事结构。本次展览中,自然里的乌鸦和生活中常见的箱子成为主角。箱子以不同的转向被堆叠为塔式结构,铅制的箱体压制着塔的变动的状态,稳定又临时;乌鸦立于铅塔之上,在合一与离分间、沉重和轻盈间、凋零与新生间开启另一个感性的世界。

仿真花、塑胶人,周遭大量出现的模拟物代替现实,虚拟与现实的边界变得模糊,真假难辨。金亚楠以这种物的模拟状态为线索,对花园的意象进行重构。在对保险业的调查研究中,艺术家发现花园的景象被广泛运用在保险广告之中。保险金作为象征交换的载体,一方面传递人与人之间的情感关系,另一方面也投射出人对生命有限性的认知和对未知将来的延续性的要求。象征美好的花园,在其图像被大量挪用后,竟逆向地与人对死亡的预期相关联。或许是一种不被知觉的捆绑?草地上原本有一根管子,艺术家用深浅不一的绿色扎带一根一根地将它捆绑,捆绑关系形成了新的管子,也形成了新的草地。现实的草地、被模拟入侵的草地,美好的花园、与之相连的死亡预期。


Hunsand Space (Hangzhou) will present the latest works of artists Jin Yanan and Zhai Yuhui in the gallery's outdoor space on November 4, 2023.

The grassland remains the same. Once green grass withers and fades, tender shoots promptly emerge, going through seasons of growth and decline. The exhibition by Jin Yanan and Zhai Yuhui captures the withering and renewal within the familiarity of everyday things, drawing inspiration from the grassland.

Everyday objects serve as the primary focus of Zhai Yuhui's work, liberated from their customary order through material and form transformations, creating new narrative structures. In this exhibition, the crow from nature and common boxes from daily life take center stage. Boxes are stacked in a tower-like structure with different orientations. The leaden bodies of the boxes suppress the tower's fluctuating state, creating a stable yet temporary composition. The Crow stands atop the lead tower, opening up another sensory world that oscillates between unity and separation, heaviness and lightness, withering and renewal.

Simulated flowers, plastic figures, and a multitude of simulacra replacing reality blur the boundaries between the virtual and the real, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Jin Yanan uses this simulation as a clue to reconstruct the image of a garden. In their investigation of the insurance industry, the artist discovered that garden imagery is widely used in insurance advertisements. Insurance money, as a symbol of exchange, conveys not only emotional relationships between individuals but also reflects human awareness of the finiteness of life and the continuity of the unknown future. The symbol of the beautiful garden, after being extensively appropriated, paradoxically becomes associated with people's expectations of death. Perhaps it's an imperceptible entanglement? There was originally a pipe in the grassland, which the artist bound one by one with green ties of varying shades, forming a new pipe. This binding relationship also creates a new grassland. The real grassland, the simulated invaded grassland, the beautiful garden, and the associated expectation of death.
