C- Space is pleased to present “Strategies for Concealing”, an international group exhibition curated by Maria Rus Bojan.
The exhibition will display over 30 pieces from 15 artists from Argentina, The Netherlands, England, Romania, Israel and China, including newly created work.
Bringing together this international group of artists, many of whom are showing in a Chinese context for the first time, the exhibition “Strategies for Concealing” proposes an investigation on how artists produce new meanings by using, appropriating or subverting camouflage techniques and practices.
The exhibition intends to question what the role of concealment is and how it manifests itself in a time where everything around us is becoming more invisible. Examples abound, from military advances to financial institutions and the movements of capital to nano-technology and bio-cybernetics.
Rather than de-cloaking that which was once camouflaged, the works presented in this exhibition accentuate the contradictions that result at the intersection of various strategies of concealment, pointing with irony to excessive “concealing for concealments sake” techniques and making more visible emerging visual incongruities.
Spanning ideas from scientific and technological camouflage to techniques employed by the military, from biology to aesthetics, the artists invited offer a dialectical response to the question of what camouflage means right now.
In conjunction with this exhibition an extensive catalogue will be published that will offer further debate on the artistic survey of this topic.
The exhibition has been made possible with the support of: Galerie Martin Van Zomeren Amsterdam, Galerie RonMandos Amsterdam/ Rotterdam, MB Art Agency Amsterdam, carlier/gebauer Berlin, Project Stichting Amsterdam

C空间在此荣幸地推出由玛瑞亚·如斯·波坚策划的名为“隐蔽的策略”的国际性展览。
本次展览将展出分别来自阿根廷、荷兰、英国、罗马尼亚、以色列以及中国的15位艺术家的30多件作品。其中一些作品是新近创作的。
本次展览汇聚了来自世界各国的艺术家，他们中的许多人是第一次来到中国参展。举办“隐蔽的策略”展览的目的是了解艺术家们如何通过运用、假借或摈弃隐蔽技巧及做法来演绎新的内涵。
本次展览旨在诘问隐蔽的作用究竟是什么，以及在这样一个我们周围的一切变得越来越隐秘的时代，隐蔽是如何表现自己的。从军事进步到金融机构及资本的流动，从纳米技术到生物控制论……这样的例子比比皆是。
本次参展的作品不是要掀开过去曾被隐蔽的东西的外壳，而是要突出不同隐藏策略的交错所产生的矛盾，嘲讽过度的“为隐蔽而隐蔽”技巧，以及剖析新近出现的视觉不协调现象。
跨越从科技隐蔽到军队所运用的技巧、从生物到美学等各种领域的理念，受邀艺术家们对“什么才是隐蔽的最新含义”的问题作出了回答。
本次展览的相关画册也即将出版，画册中将继续就本话题的艺术审视进行讨论。
本次展览承蒙以下各方的支持：阿姆斯特丹的马丁·凡·佐莫林画廊、阿姆斯特丹/鹿特丹的朗·曼多斯画廊、阿姆斯特丹MB艺术中心、柏林的卡里亚/戈保尔画廊以及阿姆斯特丹的斯提克廷项目组。
