KETCHUP《KETCHUP茄汁》

设计师的实验艺术:茄汁里隐藏的暧昧 展览信息: 参展艺术家:XL 刘斌、熊时涛、李震开幕时间:2012.12.16 4:00pm展览时间:2012.12.16-2013.2.8策展人:黄扉地点:盛世天空美术馆地址:北京市朝阳区酒仙桥路2号798艺术区 B03特别鸣谢:祝你展览成功小组 KETCHUP是在三位设计师共同策划的一个游戏规则下进行的实验艺术项目:即试图验证“1+1>2”这个普世于商业世界的定律,在当代艺术范畴下的可应用性及有效性,并借此对艺术存在的意义与价值;艺术与商业的共谋关系等即成规则展开立体的追问。 基于一切单纯的初衷,“XL”组的三位成员秉承着“形而下”的态度,“简单粗暴”地戏仿与拼接国际顶尖艺术家的经典图像,并以严谨的态度和自身的美学素养,对最终达成的视觉结果追求最大可能性的优化,而这一行为本身已经不可避免地充斥着荒诞的意味与刺激气味的欢愉。 如果鲍鱼+鱼翅更美味、更营养、更昂贵的话,里希特+村上隆的集成也必然产生DOUBLE的效果吗?在我们不假思索地贬斥这个极端幼稚的假设之前,是否已经怀揣了“皇帝新衣”的恐慌?被我们束之高阁的当代艺术是否真的不畏惧这场直白地侵犯与挑衅呢…… 正如这场游戏的代号“KETCHUP”(“茄汁”的广东话发音,成为英语借用中文发音的词汇之一)所传达的信息那样:混合借用早已是创造体系中一个被广泛应用的方法论。但有趣并值得追究的是,在这一行为背后,艺术界的既得利益者所隐藏着的暧昧情绪和建筑于其上象牙塔的光环。如果断然否决“1+1>2”的公式,那么当代艺术也只不过是一场海市蜃楼的狂欢而已。“XL”组当下想做的,似乎就是令我们不得不思索这个骑虎难下的悖论时,将KETCHUP向你迎面袭来。(刘佳一) “XL”组 成立于2012年,由三位“设计师”身份的玩闹者组成的艺术小组。旨在利用他们介于设计与艺术之间的模糊身份对当代艺术进行跨度式的双向思考,并严肃地对当代艺术中的各种可能性展开“贱”行。 成员: 熊时涛:·  1974生于江西南昌,2000年毕业于中央美术学院雕塑系,现任教于中央美术学院城市设计学院。 刘斌:·  1979生于黑龙江,2002年毕业于中央美术学院视觉传达系,现为平面设计师。 李震:·  1980生于山东青岛,2003年毕业于中央美术学院建筑系,现任教于中央美术学院城市设计学院。 Article Link

WHAT THE PINE TREE SAW

I grew up in a town situated at the border between China and Russia during a period in which Sino Russian trade flourished. Memories from childhood include top hats, fur coats, and deep forests filled with spruce and red and black pines. The central red pine trunk represents the passing of time; trees continue to grow as people come and go in the roaring tides of history.

Pinocchio’s Dream

All Pinocchio wanted was to become a ‘real’ boy. All he wanted, as he stumbled through evil temptations and unsafe minefields, was to grow up and become ‘real’; for him, ‘being good’ was merely the means to the end, not the original desire. Pinocchio’s wish was eventually granted, but his dream was a selfish, subjective one. The ironies of Pinocchio’s story mirrors that of real life.

THE OUTSIDERS

Four friends stand in a semi-circle blowing bubbles; I took this image from a magazine. I framed the image with stage curtains and elongated their noses to represent possible deception and trickery. The “THIS SIDE UP” sign, taken from a carton box, conveys that what is inside the box is still yet unknown. There is a sense of suspense and anticipation akin to the moment before the curtains are drawn open to reveal what is on stage.

FROM HER TO ETERNITY

My friend was shooting a fashion spread featuring a model on a raft in a spartan, empty room. Although the scene was to be edited in post-production, the bare set intrigued me because it was completely devoid of time and space signifiers. I was attracted to the co-existence of the dream- space and reality-space. The work is my attempt to capture the liminal border where our dream-space collides with the infinite mysteries of the universe.
