2009年CIGE期间,站台中国将在“亚洲年轻艺术家个展”项目推出萧搏的个人展览,这是继他2008年4月在站台的个展《断片·片段》之后又一次新的探索。
From images to paintings,
and then back to images,
this two-ways reading process,
and thepermanenttopic-land and beauty,
vanished as it expanded from single image to therepeated subtlechanges.
First Ladyis drivedinto our eyes as a subject.
Specimens are unloadedandenlarged froma numberoftime chains,
but may be broken when they turned back.
And then they becameindependent and variable,
weakly hanging onthebranches,
with the heavy history definitionoppressed on their backs...
A linear reading
is actuallya nonlinearrepetitionof time,
as well as a value equivalent of sticky moments.
After ithas been deconstructedand reconstructedrepeatedly,
the lightofrealitycannot be repaired again.
However,a pause
can be thought asa passivedemand in therepeated cycle.
time moves ahead slowlyin the mannerof freezing.
Pause at this moment
is just the beginning ofthe next repeating…
从影像到绘画
再从绘画到影像的双重阅读方式
江山美人的恒久主题
消逝在单细胞影像节点所扩延出的微妙变化中
第一夫人作为一个集合议题被推进视线
标本——从众多的时间链中被卸载、放大
在回归的途中却遭遇到断裂可能
就此独立和变异
背负着沉重的历史定义
却又无力的悬挂枝头
一种线性阅读
其实是反复的非线性的时间重复
一种粘稠瞬间的价值等同
在被反复切割和重构后
现实的光芒无法还原
而暂停
可以说是在反复循环模式中被动的需要
时间以凝固的方式缓慢的移动
此刻暂停
只是下一次重复的开始
