前言 Introduction:

通过社交媒体主动或被动生产、传播和塑造当下的生活内容,我们的语境逐渐被点赞的肯定性大数据施加规训,被诱惑的、平滑的混乱填满。这是韩炳哲等当代哲学家对“透明社会”的描述。但是优秀艺术家肉身中的“特殊主体性”依然保持着与一般主体性的距离,并通过建立语言而在世界观的内部开启新的空间,为我们精神的拓展、更新提供流动性与可能性。

我们邀请到6位工作生活于重庆的青年艺术家,他们独立不羁又彼此互动。通过搭建、展览作品,访谈交流,我们制造一个透明的艺术现场并激励观众对艺术家个人异质性的探索与对话。


离谱,汉语词语,读音为lí pǔ,形容事物的发展脱离了规律性,不着调、不和谐,比喻一个人在说话、办事等方面不遵循惯例、习惯和规则。

《人民日报》(1982年3月28日):

“奇谈奇到离谱,既非健康的趣味性,也非真正的知识性。”

(——摘自百度)


当代艺术的“趣味性、知识性”已经不是儒家“成教化、助人伦”的思想系统所能囊括,它既包含魏晋玄学提出的“越名教而任自然”,也包含德尔菲神庙所镌刻的“认识你自己”,还包括网络游戏、影视、科技对人类、世界、宇宙的重新想象。当代思想的“谱”也从本土文明儒释道时紧时松的三螺旋结构所构建出的家谱、族谱、祖师道场与皇朝谱系的附庸,经历松绑和跨文化交流,发展出新的多元结构,同时释放出“人人自别”、“人自为种”(郭象《天运注》)的平权五线谱新面向。

当代生活奉“健康”为圭臬,将生命降格为生存。在日益无常的社会环境与规则中生存的个体肉身,一方面无时不刻地经历着不同程度的“离”的体验,一方面被不断收紧网罗进“有心而使天下从己者,曲法”的新“谱”当中。一种关于“离”的知识,如果不说是当下人生的真实需要,也可说是对于生命健康有益的趣味游戏。

绘画具有古老的谱系,也算拥有了被“离”的本体,当我们在全球旅行和在超文化网络世界冲浪之时,不同文明与审美的边界在我们眼前并置、折叠与消退,继而在我们悬浮的内心里碰撞、交织与衍化。当代绘画是当代画家对人性价值的一次重新锚定,貌似一种胡乱生长的虚妄,实际则是画家在创作的过程中有意背离传统主体的异化,在肉身有限性与时空具体性的当下,独自面对空白画布的精神笃定。离谱是表象,亦是本体,孤勇的绘画离歌,亦是磅礴的生命赞歌。

Social media actively and passively produces, disseminates, and shapes the content of our current life content, which is disciplined by the affirmative data of likes and filled with seductive, smooth chaos. This phenomenon is how contemporary philosophers such as Han Byung-Chul describe the "transparent society." However, the "special subjectivity" in the outstanding artist still maintains a distance from the general subjectivity. It expands new space within the worldview through the establishment of language, providing mobility and possibilities for the expansion and renewal of our spirit. 

We invite six young artists living and working in Chongqing who are independent, uninhibited, and interact with each other. Through the construction and exhibition of the works on view and a series of interviews and exchanges, we present a transparent art site where visitors are encouraged to explore and dialogue with these artists' uniqueness.  


离谱, a Chinese word pronounced lí pǔ, describes the development of things that are going awry, out of tune, and disharmonious, and is often used about a person who does not follow the conventions, habits, and rules of speech or conduct and so on.

People's Daily (March 28, 1982):

"Strange talk is so bizarre as to be outrageous, and is neither wholesome fun nor truly intellectual."

(- from Baidu)


The scope of "interest and knowledge" in contemporary art is no longer encompassed by the Confucian system of thought of “painting is the thing which perfects the civilizing teachings (of the Sages) and helps (to maintain) the social relationships"; it encompasses both the Wei and Jin Dynasties metaphysics of "transgressing the name and religion and letting nature take its course" and "knowing thyself" engraved in the temple of Delphi, as well as the re-imagination of humans, the world, and the universe by online games, movies, and technology. The "genealogy" of contemporary thought has also unraveled from the familial, ancestral, and imperial genealogies constructed from the varying tensions among Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Having undergone the process of loosening the ties and cross-cultural exchanges, it has developed a new and diversified structure, at the same time, it has released a new façade of equality based on the concepts of "everyone is different" and "people are of their own kind." (Guo Xiang, "Notes on Heavenly Movement").

Contemporary life is measured by the principle of "health," downgrading living to survival. Individuals surviving in the increasingly unpredictable social environment and rules are, on the one hand, experiencing different degrees of "separation" all the time, and on the other hand, being constantly tightened into the new "convention" from "the one who has the heart to make the world follow his own way." Such knowledge of "separation," if not for the actual necessity of the present life, can be a beneficial game of interest in life nowadays.

Painting, with its ancient genealogy, also possesses an ontology from which a "separation" could occur. As we travel the globe and surf in transcultural networks, boundaries between different civilizations and aesthetics are juxtaposed, collapsed, and receded before our eyes, and then collide, intertwine, and diffuse in our suspended hearts. Contemporary painting is an expression through which the painter re-anchors the value of human nature. As delusionally as it’s been grown haphazardly, in reality, it’s the painter’s intentional departure and alienation from the traditional subject in their creative process. A moment when one is bound by physical reality and the specificity of space-time requires one's resolute spirit when confronting a blank canvas. Being off the beaten path is the phenomenon and the ontology; the lonesome and courageous painting song is also the majestic hymn of life.
