展览简介：
伊比利亚当代艺术中心向您隆重地介绍2008年11月29日将于本中心开幕的“重影：李青个展”。1981年出生的李青毕业于中国美术学院油画系，2005年南京博物院举行的第二届中国艺术三年展上，一组名为《大家来找茬》的系列作品使他获得了最初的赞誉并从此崭露头角。与所有中国新一代艺术家面临的问题一样——即如何处理固有的社会现实经验与逐步加深的全球化体验之间的摩擦与融合。而李青的作品在关注以上问题的同时也没有放弃对艺术史内部逻辑的思考，尤其是对绘画本体性的连续追问。最初的“找茬”系列在富于游戏感的形式之下对于画面机智并具反讽意味的处理将观者带到关于艺术和现实经验的双重思考之中，籍此我们可以说李青重启了绘画与观者之间的互动模式。目前，这一系列里的作品之一《婚礼》正在伦敦萨奇画廊一个名为“革命在继续：中国新艺术”的展览中展出。
李青对于“互动”模式的探求进而体现在他对绘画行为本身的实验。相对于以往的“找茬”，在新的名为《互毁而同一的像》系列作品之中，显得更加极端和具有观念性，他将两件尚未干透的画面进行粘合，然后再分开，从而产生出两张全新的图像，粘合的行为本身是破坏性的，却导致了图像之间的“同一”。李青还把对绘画语言探索的经验开拓到新的媒介，名为《乒乓》的录像装置将“互毁”这一行为交由观众实施，从而使观众参与到作品有关文明之间的冲突与渗透主题的阐释过程中，这也正是展览的主题“重影”的寓意所在。
本次展览除了展出《找茬》、《互毁而同一的像》等系列性的绘画，还将展出录像、装置、摄影等多种媒介的创作共计三十余件，从而使您能够深入认识这位将观念与语言进行了罕见而出色的结合的中国最新一代中的代表性人物。

Exhibition Brief：
Iberia Center for Contemporary Art presents “Ghosting: Li Qing’s Solo Exhibition”, which will open at the center on November 29, 2008. Li Qing, born in 1981, graduated from the China Academy of Art Oil Painting Department. He first made his mark with the exhibition of his highly acclaimed Spot the Difference at the Second China Art Triennale, held at the Nanjing Museum in 2005. It addresses the same question faced by all artists of the new generation – how to deal with the frictions and synergies taking place between the established social experience and the deepening effects of globalization. While Li Qing’s works address the above issues, he has not given up on pondering the internal logic of art history, especially the continued pursuit of the essence of painting. The intelligent and satirical arrangement of the picture in earliest “Spot the Difference” leads the viewer to ponder the experience of art and reality, and for this we can say that Li Qing has restarted the interaction between viewer and painting. One work from this series, Wedding, is currently on display at the Saatchi Gallery in London as part of the exhibition “The Revolution Continues: New Chinese Art”.
Li Qing’s exploration into forms of “interaction” is further embodied by his experimentation with the act of painting itself. Compared to his “Spot the Difference” series, Images of Mutual Undoing and Unity is more extreme and conceptual. In this series, he takes two paintings that haven’t dried and sticks them together. When they are pulled apart, two wholly new images are formed. The act of sticking them together is destructive, but it leads to “unity” between the two images. Li Qing has also brought his experience from the exploration of painting language into new mediums. The video installation Ping Pong hands the act of “mutual destruction” to the audience, bringing them into the artwork’s process of expounding on the conflicts and permeation that takes place between two civilizations. This is the root of the exhibition’s name, “Ghosting”.
Aside from presenting the painting series Spot the Difference and Images of Mutual Undoing and Unity, this exhibition will also present approximately thirty works of film, installation and photography, which will give you a deeper understanding of this new generation Chinese artist who has engaged in a rare and exemplary unification of concept and language.
