我们荣幸的宣布，艺术家丁世伟个展“破晓”将于2016年7月23日在北京现在画廊开幕，此次展览是艺术家在北京的首次个展，展览将持续至2016年8月31日。

丁世伟在对符号和经验的整合中，关注难以言喻的社会间的冲突与悖论，洞察知识经验中的偏见与习惯。他作品中所蕴藏的暴力与诗意、宣泄与私语、奔放与细腻等对立性的表述构建了一个充斥符号和象征的悖论博弈现场，同时折射出艺术家多元的视角和其复杂的精神世界。

丁世伟的创作通常以项目的方式展开，此次展览将展出他近年创作的“乌托邦”项目作品，也是去年其上海个展“西风凛”的延续。本次展览将着重呈现丁世伟自2013年以来的三件重要作品，分别是《双簧》（2013）、《再见，乌托邦》（2014），以及艺术家根据展厅创作的一组绘画装置《破晓》（2013-2016）。

所谓“破晓”，意指黎明的第一道曙光，是晨与夜的临界时刻。它不仅代表了在一种时间范畴和状态上的改变，而且承载了丁世伟个人面对他身处的桎梏与束缚时所采取的行动意图，也是呈现其对于艺术创作和生命意义的态度。同时，此展览是艺术家在北京的首次个展。“破晓”，既是一种态度，也是一种期许。

We are honored to announce that Mr.Ding Shiwei’s solo exhibition Daybreak will open in Beijing Art NowGallery on 23 July, 2016. This first solo exhibition of the artist in Beijingwill last until 31 August, 2016.

By combiningsymbols and experience, Ding Shiwei focuses on social conflicts and paradoxesthat are difficult to express, and sees clearly the prejudice and habits inknowledge and experience. The contrasting expressions in his works -- such asviolence and poem, outpouring and whispering, boldness and subtlety -- havecreated a paradoxical gaming scene full of symbols and metaphors, and reflect thediverse perspectives and complicated mentality of the artist.

Ding Shiwei’s works are usuallyexpressed by projects. In this exhibition he will present his project work Utopia,a follow-up to his solo exhibition Disparate Illusion in Shanghai lastyear. This exhibition will display three major pieces of Ding created after2013, namely Double Act (2013), Goodbye, Utopia (2014) andDaybreak (2013-2016), a set of installation pieces created tailored tothe hall.

Daybreak is the first drop of sunlightof the day, marking the shift of day and night. It does not only representchanges of the time and state, but also indicates Ding’s intention to tacklethe constraint in his life, a display of his attitude towards artistic creationand the meaning of life. This is also the first solo exhibition of the artistin Beijing. Daybreak is an attitude as well as expectation.
