从物质到生命
展期:2月14-20日
地点:2号馆一层
在绝大多数的当代艺术家通过各种途径来表现面部特征的时候,郑铉却专注于形体的塑造,源源不断地开发出重要的人体艺术形式。他从物理存在的实体、创作过程的偶然性中发掘灵感,例如零碎中的新鲜、生肉中生命的力量、神秘的图片、原始的唐突与暴力等等。像铁路轨枕、未加工的石头、煤焦油等这些与传统雕塑材料相去甚远的物质,在他看来都是文明的遗迹。他通过“把玩”而不是“抵触”,从而最大限度地发挥材料的丰富性,通过简化人体形式并赋予材料特殊意义,来再现人的内在真实。
From Material to Life
Duration: 14th – 20th February
Venue: 1st floor exhibition hall of Building 1
Chung has mainly focused on the human body. Although most contemporary artists have experimented by making various attempts to express facial features, he has constantly explored the significance of art form through the human body. He discovers power from fortuity in the course of creation and in the physical substantiality of the pieces, such as freshness discovered in the trivial, power of life exuded from the raw, unpredictable images, abruptness and primitive violence, etc. For him, rubbish represents the remnants of civilization, such as railroad ties, unprocessed stones and things that are distant from the traditional materials of sculpture. In his work, he brings out the importance of materials by saying that he ‘plays with the materials, rather than fighting against them', using the properties of the materials as much as possible. He brings out the inside reality of a human through simplifying the form of the human body and giving the material special significance.
