《2009张可欣个展》展览概念
张可欣艺术简历
泛亚洲视点 —关于张可欣的新艺术
對畫空間（Dialogue Space）于2009年2月12日17：00举办了《2009张可欣个展》开幕式。展出了旅泰艺术家张可欣大型绘画作品10余件。展览期间，观众有机会欣赏到张可欣极具影响力和多元化的创作实践。
艺术家张可欣（出生于1957年，中国黑龙江省哈尔滨市）近年来主要以装置、行为、影像、绘画、雕塑、新媒体等当代艺术语言活跃于国际艺坛。张可欣于1982年毕业于哈尔滨师范大学，1992年作为访问学者赴俄罗斯。近十几年来，他旅居东南亚各国，寻求创作灵感。其间受邀赴印度与尼泊尔进行宗教艺术方面的学术访问与交流，亦在德国、荷兰、比利时、法国、西班牙等国作学术访问及举办个展。作为全球化背景下的“文化穿梭者”，张可欣不断尝试将中国古典思想与当地文化相糅合，以其独特新型的东方文化形态构筑自己的艺术事业。
张可欣的艺术创作，是从全球化和中国历史文化，以及现代化社会与艺术行为这样两个维度展开。早期的《古装书最新解体》系列作品，探讨了经济一体化、互联网、信息技术对亚洲传统文化的影响。而张可欣的《中国营造法式》系列作品在中国古典建筑的屋架结构下，营造了一个由卡通形象、品牌商标、文化碎片、流行符号、明星凡人组成的世界。艺术家称这个“混作”方案为其视觉艺术创作才能的实施，艺术上的一个游戏。不过这一实验性艺术工程已完全剥离了建筑学的科学性范畴，从而进入到社会学及人性关怀的广阔天地。
此次對畫空間（Dialogue Space）展示的10多件大型绘画作品，均为《中国营造法式》系列
作品，是张可欣2007年以来的新作。作品以其对当下诸多社会现象的戏拟，延展了系列作品中古
典建筑与当代社会的“对接”。张可欣在谈到他的创作时说：“我在热处理这些‘混作’图像符号时，不仅是在画面上再造罗列，而是以调弄手法予以幽默的嫁接，我力求将当代人类精神信仰与物质欲望，东方文化与西方文化交融的误区及不谐和性等矛盾问题，表现得更凸显，更有争议性，抑或谴责和批判。”
多样而简单的材料，缤纷而宏大的叙事形式，以及二者结合所制造出的某些隐喻般的情境将贯穿整个展览，并有效激发观众的想象力。通过展示张可欣最近的绘画创作，我们希望能提供给观众一个机会去探寻这位艺术家创作的广度和深度。我们深信本次展览将很好地说明對畫空間（Dialogue Space） 在选择艺术家方面对于艺术家国际背景的考量，以及對畫空間（Dialogue Space）试图建立中国当代艺术和世界当代艺术对话的可能。

Press Release of “2009 Solo Exhibition of Zhang KeXin”
Duration: February 13th – April 3rd 2009
Opening Ceremony: 5 pm , February 12th 2009
Venue: 6-99#, 22 International Art Plaza, No.32 Baiziwan Road (south of Today Art Museum), Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100022
Dialogue Space is honored to introduce to you the “2009 Solo Exhibition of Zhang KeXin” on February 12th, 2009. Zhang KeXin’s artistic creations, full of the power of influence and pluralism, will be presented to our audience via more than ten large scale paintings on display.
Zhang KeXin (born in 1957, in Harbin, Heilongjiang, China) has been actively working with installation, performance, video, painting, sculpture and new media in the international art world. He graduated from the Normal University of Harbin in 1982 and went to Russia as visiting scholar in 1992. In recent years, he’s been living abroad in South-East Asia, seeking inspiration for his artistic creations. During these years, he has been invited to India and Nepal for academic meetings and symposiums, as an expert on topics such as religion and art. He has also had solo exhibitions in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Spain. As a “cultural and artistic nomad”, the artist has been integrating Chinese traditional culture and the local cultures of his foreign experiences, creating an unique oriental cultural type which blends into the works comprising his artistic portfolio.
The works on exhibit here are the newest of his series “China’s Construction Rule”, having been created since 2007. These works aggrandize the juncture between traditional Chinese architecture and contemporary society by playfully imitating many current social phenomena. Talking about this series, Zhang KeXin states, “When I put these mixed icons and images under a
‘heat-treatment’, I didn’t simply spread them out and reconstruct them, but rather I wittily grafted them together, thereby exaggerating the misunderstandings - the disharmony between spiritual belief and the materialism of modern society - the fusion of eastern and western cultures - thus expressing my criticism of them.”
Varied yet simple materials, a colorful and massive style of narration, and a metaphor-like context created by intermingling the two dimensions above permeates the entire exhibition, effectively exciting the imagination of the audience. Through his newest paintings, we provide an opportunity for art lovers to experience the breadth and depth of the creation of our artist. We truly believe that this exhibition is a deserved example of the type of work given consideration by Dialogue Space – choices from an artist with an international background whose works create the possibility of enhancing the dialogue between the Chinese and international contemporary art worlds.
