“Every single thing he owns makes up one great collection. In him this passion shows its true face, the stern Indian expression that lingers on, but with a dimmed and manic glow, in antiquarians, researchers, bibliomaniacs. Scarcely has he entered life than he is a hunter. He hunts the spirits whose trace he scents in …

專訪查爾斯·佩逖倫 8月27日，法國藝術家查爾斯·佩逖倫（Charles Pétillon）在倫敦考文特花園（Covent Garden）的大型裝置作品《心跳（Heartbeat）》正式揭幕，10萬個氣球組成的作品如一朵“白雲”懸置於整個考文特花園市場內，來自世界各地的遊客將在一個月的時間內體驗這座擁有200年曆史的建築群所呈現的不同以往的夢幻體驗。 考文特花園市場的藝術委託項目一直以來都非常引人注目，很多世界知名藝術家都與他們有過合作，比如英國藝術家逹明·赫斯特（Damien Hirst）和美國藝術家傑夫·昆斯（Jeff Koons）都曾在這裡展示他們的大型互動藝術裝置作品，除了這些“大腕兒”藝術家之外，其他還有很多牛人也參與過這裡的項目，比如《五十度灰》的導演薩姆·泰勒（Sam Taylor-Johnson），塗鴉大師班克西（Banksy），設計師保羅·考克賽治（Paul Cocksedge）等等等等。 此次佩逖倫是他第一次在法國之外創作大型的裝置作品，同時他希望通過將考文特花園的歷史風貌與他的創作相結合，來創造一種生命律動的氣場，讓人們感受這裡所充滿的生命氣息和歷史記憶。 ART.ZIP：可不可以給我們介紹一下您這次在倫敦展出作品的來龍去脈？ CP：我是一位攝影師，也是一位視覺藝術家，幾個月前，考文特花園市場的運營方找到我，問我願不願意為這裡量身定做一件公共裝置作品，我知道考文特花園是非常知名的市場也是倫敦最受歡迎的景點，所以我接受了他們的邀約，於是開始調研和構思如何創作一件和這裡的環境相契合的藝術作品。我對考文特花園這個區域的歷史非常感興趣，這些古老的建築改變了整個區域的景觀和規劃，而同時，這裡又是倫敦潮流和現代生活方式的策源地，因此，我決定用一種方式來將這裡古老的記憶和現代的氣息鏈接起來，讓人們能夠意識到這裡承載的過往歷史以及它現在所代表的時尚生活。 ART.ZIP：為什麼要採用白色氣球作為創作的主要材料呢？ CP：其實很簡單，因為我特別喜歡這個材料，世界上絕大部份的人都能一眼看出這是什麼東西，不管是大人還是孩子，不論是中國人還是英國人，白色氣球這個媒介不需要過多的闡釋和說明，大家都能看懂，而且不會有誤解。白色氣球看上去非常廉價，不像鑽石和黃金那樣耀眼奪目，但氣球非常的平易近人，能讓更多人欣賞和接近。 ART.ZIP：這件作品在造型上有什麼樣的考慮嗎？ CP：第一眼看上去應該會讓人想到是一朵雲彩吧，在晚上的話，你可以看到裡面光線的變化，這是一件有呼吸和心跳的作品，也是在喚醒人們對周邊那些看似毫無生機的事物進行重新認識的必要。 ART.ZIP：您也是一位攝影師，您是如何看待藝術家和攝影師與商業品牌進行跨界合作的？ CP：我以前是一位商業攝影師，但是我有我自己的藝術項目，我所參與的藝術項目和商業項目是分開的，我的商業性的攝影作品不會干擾我自己的藝術創作，這兩部份是割裂的，也有很多品牌希望用我的藝術作品來推廣他們的作品，但是我都拒絕了，因為藝術作品是用來提出問題的，是關於你我的生活的，而僅僅從形式上來挪用于商業目的話，就失去了它本來的意義了。我希望用自己的商業作品來賺錢，但我創作的藝術作品是去商業化的。

L.S.洛瑞：藝術家•人民 ——民眾之愛，英國最重要的現代藝術家之一將亮相南京藝術學院美術館 肖朗 由南京藝術學院美術館主辦，克萊恩•卡爾曼畫廊（英）、藝觸咨詢（英）及英國總領事館文化教育處協辦，薩爾福市政府(英)及洛瑞中心（英）合作支持的“L.S.洛瑞：藝術家•人民”展覽將於2014年11月14日正式亮相南京藝術學院美術館，並展出至2014年12月16日。 勞倫斯·斯蒂芬·洛瑞（L.S.洛瑞，1887年—1976年）是英國20世紀最重要和知名的現代藝術家之一。此次展覽匯聚的近三十幅洛瑞具有代表性的油畫及紙本作品，均由我們精心挑選自英國重要的公共和私人收藏。《L.S.洛瑞：藝術家·人民》是繼2013年英國泰特美術館的大型回顧展之後，洛瑞在英國本土以外美術館的首次個展。這次展覽能夠使來自南京、中國甚至更大範圍的新觀眾有機會欣賞洛瑞的作品並了解它們的價值。 一百年前，洛瑞在英格蘭北部的曼徹斯特開始了他的藝術生涯。當時的曼徹斯特迎來了一場英國社會不可阻擋的大變遷。洛瑞和曼徹斯特城一起處在了英國工業迅猛發展的中心。工業的突飛猛進，隨之而來的是社會變革。城市裏擠滿了人，林立的廠房和煙囪將人們層層包圍（《工廠景觀》，1965）。這也正是中國與洛瑞作品之間的共鳴之處，這也是在中國舉辦此次洛瑞作品展的原因。中國是世界上第一大工業國，也是經濟增長最快的國家之一。城市化、工業化、現代化正改變著每一個人的生化方式。這與大約一個世紀前洛瑞對英格蘭北部的那場工業變革的觀察和記錄有著高度相似性。 無論是那個時候的英國人，還是現在生活在北京上海廣州或南京這樣大都市的中國人，我們都會有相似的感受和生活體驗。我們伴著擁擠的交通奔波在上班的路上，我們在享受經濟發展的同時又承受著環境惡化的壓力。我們如何面對環境的改變，我們如何適應現代工業化社會的生活方式，我們如何與人群共處?我們又該如何與自己相處？ 希望通過這樣一個打破時空限制，充滿了人文關懷的展覽，我們會獲得一些安慰，並引起我們的反思。 我們感謝英國諸多重要公共機構、企業及私人對此次展覽的支持和贊助，包括英國克萊恩·卡爾曼畫廊、藝觸咨詢有限公司（英國），英國洛瑞中心、薩爾福德市政府，英國總領事館文化教育處、AXA安盛藝術品保險，以及Willis韋萊(全球保險經紀人與風險顧問)。我們很榮幸在當下向公眾推出該展覽及相關活動。本次展覽的媒體發布會將於2014年11月14日下午3：00在南藝美術館學術報告廳舉行。 L.S.洛瑞（L.S.LOWRY, 1887-1976）是英國20世紀最重要和知名的現代藝術家之一，但卻不為其他國家的人們們所熟知。自1900年到今日，洛瑞的作品出現在340個藝術展覽中，而2014年11月14日在中國南京藝術學院美術館開幕的《L.S.洛瑞：藝術家·人民》則是洛瑞在英國本土以外的美術館的首次個展。此次展覽匯聚的近三十幅洛瑞具有代表性的油畫及紙本作品，均由我們精心挑選自英國重要的公共和私人收藏。繼2013年英國泰特美術館的大型回顧展之後，這次展覽能夠使來自南京、中國甚至更大範圍的新觀眾有機會欣賞洛瑞的作品並了解它們的價值。所以，我們很榮幸在當下向公眾推出該展覽及相關活動。 L.S.LOWRY (1887-1976) is one of the most important and famous British artists of the Twentieth Century, yet he is barely known in the rest of the world. Lowry has been the subject of more than 340 exhibitions from the early 1900’s to the …

Giovanni Battista Moroni was one of the greatest portraitists of 16th-century Italy.

理想廢墟中的守望者──安塞姆·基弗(Anselm Kiefer) 9月27日，德國藝術家安塞姆 · 基弗在英國的首次大型回顧展在倫敦皇家藝術學會開幕，這也是今年下半年在英國舉辦的各種藝術展覽中最為重要的一個。安塞姆 · 基弗是當代最為重要的藝術家， 他被譽為是“戰後德國精神廢墟中誕生的詩人”，他的作品充滿了史詩般的文學性，通過運用不同材料製作的宏大繪畫來表現嚴肅深刻的歷史主題，佇立於他的繪畫之前，你會深深地被他作品中散髮出來的詩意美感而打動，一種深沉厚重的歷史帶入感震撼著每一個觀者的心靈。 此次在倫敦的大型回顧展展示了安塞姆·基弗超過40年的藝術生涯，彙聚了他各個時期不同創作方式的作品，包括繪畫、雕塑、水彩、版畫、裝置和攝影等各種藝術形式的作品。除此之外，展覽中基弗還特地為皇家藝術學會的廣場量身定製了大型的裝置作品。從他的作品不難看出，他將歷史事件、神話傳說、文學、哲學和科學結合到自己的創作之中，運用各種隱喻來抒發對我們人類社會不同時態的深刻思考。在皇家藝術學會展廳當中，基弗代表性的巨幅繪畫佔滿了整個牆面，由碎玻璃、油彩、金屬、石頭或者是植物混雜構成的畫面張力十足，由代表毀滅、淩亂和破碎的隻言片語匯成一幅靜逸的、散髮著詩意的宏偉畫卷。 對於觀眾來說，超大尺寸的繪畫和雕塑作品在視覺上的衝擊往往成為了基弗的一個標籤，他極具風格和現代性的創作手法和師從藝術大師博伊斯的經歷也往往成為人們津津樂道的談資，但他之所以能夠成為當今世界一流的藝術家，還是源於其作品背後所飽含的人文情懷。大部份的評論認為，基弗的創作是來源于對二戰和德國歷史的反思和追問，作品中往往表現出一種破敗的、空曠的蒼涼之感，對德國那一段黑暗的時期進行徹底的批判。但當看到他作品原作的時候，你會發現，這樣簡單生硬的文字是絕對無法描繪作品所表達的那種宏大敘事和複雜的情緒的。是的，基弗的確是通過他的作品描繪了很多被納粹劫掠過後的廢墟，但這並不是簡單的對納粹或者德國的一種形式主義的批判，而是對我們人類本身基因里保存的那份殘忍的一種揭示，而且帶著幾分憐憫和無奈，讓我們感受到作為自譽為“萬物之靈”的人類，其靈魂是多麼的卑微于無力。就像基弗所說的那樣“我的興趣不在真相本身，而是在於真相所處的語境。”基弗用自己的藝術語言來面對自己民族的過往，並不是簡單的對與錯的問題，而更多的是反思“人”在歷史洪流中所起到的作用，這種對“真相”並不科學的探討和追問也許是接近“真相”的唯一途徑。 作為一名觀眾，或者說旁觀者，當我們把基弗所處的上下文聯繫起來思考，便又會有新的發現，德國人一直被我們視為是極度尊重規則和理性的民族，但就是這樣的一個民族，卻誕生了希特勒和納粹這樣瘋狂的人們，他們將德國的浪漫主義引向了惡魔的深淵，納粹時期的德國藝術表現出來的無與倫比的感染力被打上了恐怖和罪惡的標籤，隨著二戰的結束，德國的浪漫主義成為了國家災難和恥辱的原罪，但通過基弗的藝術，我們不難發現，在這位德國藝術家用粗糙、奔放、恢弘的藝術語言所構建的正是德國浪漫主義情懷的新的希望，他用淩亂的、破碎的、破敗的各種廢物創作出深沉美麗的繪畫，像一位深沉的守護者，默默的守衛在德國浪漫主義的廢墟當中。 Anselm Kiefer Royal Academy of Arts 27 September -14 December 2014 In September 2014, the Royal Academy of Arts will present the first major retrospective of Anselm Kiefer’s work to be held in the UK. Considered to be one of the most important artists …
