写给“在，别处”

艺术的妙处与难度常常在于永远不在此地而在别处，作品恰恰就是在建构一条通向陌生世界的通道。Jiri、马秋莎与徐升是以切身之近描绘思忖之远，甚至怂恿你在生活的“低洼地”，仰望星空，跳脱大气层的艺术家。此展的支撑没有什么非常的理论，更多的是在展厅里感受视觉、身体因作品而置于那时、它地的新鲜感，以及带来意外的厚度。更有趣的是Jiri用数月之功在中捷当代美术馆建成的“火星居所”与捷克公共空间中的同一件作品遥相辉映，而与马秋莎的影像作品《火星》又进行了无缝链接。观者走上环形橙色走道后的渴望与视频中红沙巨浪的无限滚动，不是简单地把你拉到一个游戏厅似的奇幻世界，而是在这一刻踏进你内心曾经荒芜的一隅。在展厅的一隅，徐升的《岛屿临摹》告诉我们如何从他者的态度，亲身的极度体验对“别处”观察方式的挑战……

此时，我不得不承认这个展览名字来源于小时候读过，但记忆只留下了名字的小说：生活在别处，但米兰·昆德拉带给我的情绪还在心头，如同布拉格特有的阴郁力量。

最后，谢谢阿覃、伊瑞、Jiri邀请我与刘晶策展，谢谢马秋莎与徐升的支持，让我们有机会共同在此地，在别处。

To Dwelling Elsewhere

The beauty and difficulty of art lie in the fact that it usually occurs elsewhere but not here; work, precisely, is to pave a path from here to there. The artists, Jiri, Ma Qiusha and Xu Sheng, portray the future pondering with an immediate experience with art, even encouraging you to peer into the starry sky and look beyond the atmosphere while living in the low-lying land of life. There isn’t a certain theoretical support on this exhibition, but with a stronger visual perception and feeling of novelty placing yourself then and there, as well as the surprising depths of works. More interestingly, after several months of construction in Czech China Contemporary, the MarsPOD echoes the same artwork in a public space in Czech, and seamlessly connects to the video work of “Mars” by Ma Qiusha.

Walking up the circular aisle, viewers develop desires and have the exposure to the rolling red sandy waves on the screen. It doesn’t simply draw you into a fantasy world like in a game room, but touches an isolated part of your heart.

At the corner of the exhibition hall, Recreate Island– installation by Sheng Xu- demonstrates a challenge of the personal extreme experience of observing ‘elsewhere’ from the perspective of others.

Here, I have to admit that the name of this exhibition comes from a book I read when I was small but a name left only in my memory: Living Elsewhere. What’s left by Milan Kundera still lingered in my mind, as the unique gloom of Prague.

At last, I would like to thank Aqin and Jiri for inviting Jing Liu and me as curators and for the support from Qiusha Ma and Shengxu, through which we have this opportunity to gather here, and elsewhere.
