Between: China-Japan-Korea Contemporary Art Exhibition

Art Information , 2022-01-14

Curator: Luo Jingfang

Academic Advisor: Huang Du

Curatorial execution: Kang Wenfeng, He Tianjian

Between, "Shuo Wen Jie Zi Note": From the door to the moon, understanding is also, there is a gap in the door and the moonlight can enter.

The night is dim, the doors and windows are half closed, and the mountains can be seen in the moonlight. Because of the distance, the beauty is multiplied. Because of the "room", Fang Jue is wonderful...

Between is the kind of "emptiness" in the blank space between "one river, two banks and three sections" in Ni Yunlin's landscape paintings. This meaningful "between" seems to be a kind of "uncertainty", which needs to be understood by the viewer. . Aesthetes call this composition "evolutionary structure," which I agree with, but doesn't seem to have said enough.

"Jian" is the daily aesthetic experience of oriental people and its implicit expression, and it is the entry point to understand oriental Zen and contemporary art methodology. From "Jian", we can get a glimpse of the difference and evolution of Eastern and Western cultures and aesthetic ideas.

"Jian", plus "time" is time, "jian" plus "empty" is space, time and space constitute our cognition of the world, and it has a profound meaning. In the context of contemporary art expression, with the perspective of "space", "field", "domain", "object"...there are more possibilities.

Between, it is blank, not perfect; between, is stillness, and it is not perfect.

Between is the length of time; between is the boundary of space; between is the rhythm of change; between is the richness of the void; between is the infinite imagination; between is the unknown encounter. The beauty between them lies in their relative independence and mutual achievement.

In between, it is a little pause and rest, and it is continuous and long, it is about to talk and then to stop, and it is implicit, it is the difference between the landscape in the dry landscape and the water, it is the movement and stillness in the branches of the bright moon...

I secretly think that the way between them seems to be inherited from Wei and Jin metaphysics. The magic of metaphysics lies in "there is no", and between existence and non-existence is the door to all wonders. Surrounded by four walls is called a room. When the four walls are full, there is no space. It is a mound of dirt. Tao Yuanming has a poem: There is true meaning in this, but I have forgotten what I want to argue. The way between them seems to have a co-worker with it.

In the modern and contemporary times, it has become the realistic methodology of artistic philosophy. Between specific objects and object spaces, between brushstrokes and brushstrokes, uncertain natural adventures unfold again and again. This artistic adventure is full of meaning and is an attempt to escape from There are too many natural principles inherent in human interference. They rely on specific non-figurative paintings, sculptures and other forms to appear in front of our eyes, and they also lead people to enter a contemplative infinity.

This time, the Times Art Museum is honored to invite 8 important artists from China, Japan, Korea and Northeast Asia. They have different artistic languages, but they all interpret the beauty of "between" intentionally or unintentionally. The audience and art colleagues hope to spark more thinking and discussion.
