X美术馆与前滩太古里合作开设全新艺术空间The Pool by X Museum，于2024年3月22日正式面向公众开放。在这个新的空间中，我们将带来韩国艺术家金允哲的全新委任作品《色度VIII》。本次展览展出艺术家于2024年创作的新作——“色度（Chroma）”系列的第八件。在科学定义中，“色度”是一项感官性指标，它反映着颜色的色调和饱和度，与亮度共同量化了人类对于错综复杂的颜色的感知。这一较为生涩的词汇精准而锐利地凸显了该系列作品的科学辩证和视觉语言。
《色度VIII》从拓扑空间发展而来，其整体共由234个单元组成，包含高度透明的层压聚合物、电机、微控制器和LED灯等。每个单元形状各异，通过对透明聚合物施加压力进行着微妙的形变运动。由此，作品单元的动态表面闪烁出虹彩般的光芒，从而呈现出一种全新的体验微观世界的方式。光与色彩在物质性中流动，声音和运动纠缠在机械结构中，仿佛一条正在呼吸的巨龙盘踞在展厅中，神秘而美丽，从而引发了超越人类日常感官的体验。
作品通过单一部件的无限重复营造出庞大、炫目、永无止息的观感，以一种近乎无法忽视的视觉吸引与观者和空间形成了强烈的共构关系。旋转缠结的环状形态，无始无终的曲线，作品通过视觉上的无限循环唤起了宇宙想象。这个自古以来一直让我们着迷的迷宫式图形带有一种强烈的象征属性，在人类文化之中反复出现，从而演变为一个成为事件发生、脉动并在时空之中不断跨越物质的主体。在金允哲的创作过程中，艺术实践和科学方法共同存在。艺术家探索着物质的潜力，把机械、材料与人类等视为非始终同一的、非亘古延续的，而是与环境一同不断变化的主体。
X Museum is thrilled to announce the opening of ‘The Pool by X Museum’ in Taikoo Li Qiantan Shanghai on March 22nd, 2024. For this venue’s inaugural show, we will present South Korean artist Yunchul Kim’s new commission ‘Chroma VIII’. The show features the newest edition of the artist’s critically acclaimed Chroma series. ‘Chroma’, in its scientific definition, is a sensory indicator that reflects the hue and saturation of a color, and it quantifies human perception of the intricacies of color together with luminance. This rather nebulous term accurately and sharply captures the scientific methodology and visual language employed by the artist.
Developed from topology, the body of ‘Chroma VIII’ comprises 234 units in total. These units consist of highly transparent laminated polymers, motors, microcontrollers, and LEDs. Each unit has a unique shape and undergoes subtle deformation through applied pressure on the transparent polymer. Consequently, the dynamic surfaces of the work units flicker with iridescent light, providing a novel visual experience. The light and color flowing through the material, sound entwined within mechanical movement, as if a mysterious and beautiful dragon breathing and coiling in the space, thus triggering sensory experience beyond daily perception.
Through the repetition of a single unit, the work brings a massive sense of scale dazzling, and perpetually in motion, making the viewer inseparable from the space. The circular, knotted forms, the curves of the structure with no beginning and end, evoke a cosmic imagination through their visual representation. This labyrinthine form, which has fascinated us since ancient times, carries a strong symbolic attribute, recurring in human culture and thus evolving into a subject of events, pulsations, and the transformation of matter through time and space. Artistic practice and scientific methodology come hand in hand in Yunchul Kim’s artistic production. The artist explores the potential of matter, seeing machines, materials, and humans as subjects in constant flux with their environments, rather than never-changing entities existing throughout time.
