无路可走（No Way Out）——五大闲人作品联展
参展艺术家：董剑霜、蓝京华、王建华（林凡）、杨爱国、张柏秀
他们是一群声气相投的人。偏居在顺义一个小小的农村，时常在一起谈天说地，颇有闲人风范。“采菊东篱下，悠然见南山”，在这里，“闲”呈现的是特立独行的、非功利的、关涉灵魂归宿的人生态度和艺术理念。
出路在哪里？如何在芜杂拥挤忙碌非凡的当代生活中保持心灵的安宁？什么样的生活才值得一过？
他们的画呈现不同的面目，但却相互印证着各自对中国传统精神以及繁复现实的理解与把握。在当代中国的现实情境中，以多元的手法，阐释“闲人”对欲望、信仰、背叛、幸福以及苦难的解读，展示人性的卑微与高尚，寻找灵魂的栖居之地。
画布只是一个小小的空间，却是心灵的安放之所，籍此他们得以继续“闲”下去。
Street Portraits, NYC —— 纽约艺术家Katerina Kampiti摄影展
NY Arts Beijing Space is pleased to present the work of photographer Katerina Kampiti. The exhibition will take place from August 4th to August 31st during the XXIX Olympic Games with an opening reception for the artist on August 10, 2008, from 3 to 6 pm.
Street Portraits, NYC is a composed installation of 50 color photographs from Kampiti's three bodies of work, her ongoing series on "Female Portraits: A New York City Story", "The Men" and the "Group Portraits" developed over the course of four years (2003-2007).
The work is a kaleidoscope of people and the city and explores moments of street life, encounters with strangers and themes about identity expressions in public space. Each photograph stands alone as a unique piece but also in a dialogue with all the others.
"My work, is concerned with the human subject and with ideas of presence and absence, trust and intimacy, representations of the self, and how reality translates into pictures.
I am interested in people that are unique and ordinary at the same time, avoiding photographic clichés of irony or sentimentality. A certain gesture, an attitude, a light, their clothes, and details of the city in the background attracted me."
Men and women are depicted alone, in frontal position, looking directly at the camera and when in pairs they suggest their relationship with each other. The portraits involve the whole body figure and its relationship with the urban environment.
Katerina Kampiti was born in Greece. She studied photography at the School of Graphic Arts and Design in Athens, and graduated from New York University with a Master's in Studio Art. She has worked as a still photographer for movies and taught art and photography at The New York University, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and at the International Center of Photography. Her work was widely published in numerous publications nationally and internationally including Kathimerini newspaper, Kappa, Epsilon, METRO, SOLOARTE, Fota magazines. She is the recipient of two first prize national awards (Photography Circle, 1996, Elle magazine, 1998) and the special commendation of The National Book Center. Her work is presented in many solo and group exhibitions in Europe and the United States. She lives and works in Athens and in New York.

“游戏”是一个西方心理和东方背景完美的结合。本展深究“对方”的概念，不受任何意念的拘束，透过语意游戏，参展艺术家探讨边界、中间、以及空间的概念。每个艺术家的灵感来源都不相同，从极简的符号制造，到运用沙子和粗糙表面的繁复混合媒体作品，作品既细致又充满热情。本次展览充满极度个人的风格，激发艺术家们各自的潜意识，也显示生命的真相。
Ludus is a dynamic combination of Western psychology and thought within an Eastern setting. Investigating how representations of "the other" are not fixed or anchored in any single meaning, but invented and re-contextualized across a diverse signifying field that is indecipherable. Through semantic play participating artists are invited to address the space between themselves and others, sites that include, but are not limited to the concept of "the borderline," the "in-between," "the similacrum," and other "liminal spaces." Each of the artist's work spans a dynamic scope of inspirations and influences. From minimalist mark making, to complex expressive mixed media pieces that utilize raw materials such as sand and coarse surfaces, the works are delicate and passionate all at once. Deeply personal, the exhibition evokes their own subconscious while also revealing universal truths about the jo! urney and celebration that is life.
