问问自己每天都做了什么,是每天循规蹈矩的活着,还是偶尔也能从循规蹈矩中挖掘出一些趣味儿。 平日里,喝完的汽水罐捏了随手就丢进垃圾桶,看完的报纸集一堆也就称斤卖了, 好像这是我们一出生就既定的习惯。而打破这种习惯的,将一种习惯转换成另一种新的习惯,这就是艺术家孙毅在做的事。 他用生活中最常见的小物——易拉罐和报纸——练习每日的必修课程,即是对艺术家身份的自我说服。其实每位艺术家都会用不同的媒介载体来表达他们的思想,重点不在于用什么素材,而在于表达。在(Can Series)和(Newspaper Series<copy>)中,孙毅探讨了一连串的关系论: 艺术家与艺术家本身的关系 你是艺术家与艺术家的你的关系 人和物的关系 物与物的关系 人与人的关系 人与社会的关系 …… 物无非彼,物无非是(庄子),往往我们想要的总在我们前进方向的背面。这种关系论并没有赏味期限,一听易拉罐和一张报纸,他就可以在每日的重复而又不重复中无限不循环下去。而在他的另一个系列(Sleepless)中,他也是用最普通的纸张与笔描绘自身当前的状态——无眠。 有问他关于此次展览的期待,他说并没有,这个展览算是对自己一年来努力的总结吧。他也表示自己会继续往这个方向走,希望明年还有机会再办一次个展。现在的他正在Slade University of Art深造中,我实在是忍不住要爆料下他最新的战绩: 6月10日,如果你恰好去了Slade图书馆,如果你恰好要赶快截止的论文,如果你恰好在找论文的资料,如果你恰好发现你资料所处的“状态”和以前不同了,那恭喜你,请享受孙毅同学为你的创作。 Suggestive Trajectories Art would itself be conditioned by nonart… – Jacques Derrida What effectively covers and makes unseen Sun Yi as an artist and as perhaps above all an individual, is first and foremost …
