致力于推介中国当代艺术的01100001(北京)将于2009年11月8日开幕。首展“一样”汇集了李天元、李永斌、马云飞、王蓬、张亚杰、郑在东等六位艺术家的新作品。这六位艺术家在二十世纪九十年代,甚至更早,就已经建立了自己作品的独立面貌,目前仍在积极的艺术探索中。他们当下的创作,多是在宏观的历史背景下建构与自身相关的文化价值体系。其中马云飞、王蓬和李永斌关注社会现实与图像认知的关系;郑在东关注传统意蕴和古人情怀在今天如何展现;张亚杰探究日常状态中与人息息相关的物质的属性和状态;李天元则在回忆和想象中,以属于个人的绘画语言再现亲人的形象和故乡的环境。
六位艺术家分别在录像、摄影、装置、行为艺术等方面都有或曾经有深入的探索,这样的创作状态,使他们能够更加潜心于本质意义上的绘画表达。他们长时间的努力,不在于创立和维护一种属于自己的风格样式,而是从个人的经验出发,面对各自的问题,运用业已成熟的语言,在不间断地对绘画艺术进行反思中,自觉地坚持艺术理念的探索。这使得他们作品的抒发和流露达到了精妙而自如的境界,呈现得自然而深沉,远离了表面上的标新立异。
从宏观和历史的角度来看,艺术作品相互之间更多具有的是一致性。这些相近、相似的方面更能体现出艺术的本质和时代的内涵。在辨识和体验到作品的独立意义之后,领悟不同作品之间的有机联系,了解他们相同的出发点,会使得对作品的认识更加深入。这需要综合审视作品所处的现实语境、艺术生态、历史定位、文化的前瞻意义等复杂的方面。分析和综合仍然是全面地认识艺术创新的方法。在我们的时代,传统、历史都会被置于重新考虑和评价的平台,任何权力都已无法使历史和传统成为一个完全闭合的系统。同样,人们也需要在开放的语境中品评其所在时代的艺术创造和文化取向。

The Same
Located at the Beijing Caochangdi art district, 01100001 is a newly launched art space dedicated to the Chinese contemporary art. Its inaugural exhibition The Same features new painting works of six established artists. As early as the 1990s, or even earlier, the six artists have already established their own uniqueness and a signature style in their works. Their current creativity focuses on constructing a cultural value system relevant to themselves within a macro-historical context. Ma Yunfei, Wang Peng and Li Yongbin are interested in the relationship between social reality and image recognition. Zheng Zaidong is concerned with contemporary approaches in expressing traditional atmosphere and the feelings of the ancients. Zhang Yajie explores the qualities of materials closely tied to our quotidian life. And Li Tianyuan restores the image of his relatives and his hometown through memories and imaginations unique to his own artistic language.
The six artists have had in-depth explorations in video art, photography, installation art, performance art and other media too. This has allowed them to explore the fundamentals of visual expressions in painting. Their long-term effort is not to discover and sustain their own stylistic models, but, starting from each of their personal experience and maintaining a steadfast exploration of their artistic concepts, they confront their respective problems by applying an already mature language and constantly reflecting on the medium of painting. Such practice allows both the expression and impression of their work to appear refined, as well as natural and profound, which differentiate them from superficial unconventional action.
From a macro-historical point of view, more than differences, there are coherence in all artworks. These similarities and resemblances embody the essence of art and the characteristics of times. Once the uniqueness of the artwork is identified and experienced, learning about the organic relationships among different artworks and their similar points of departure deepen the viewers’ understanding of the artworks. It is necessary to examine the actual context, art ecology, historical position, culture, as well as, other complex aspects. It is still necessary to synthesize all of these aspects when analyzing and viewing artworks in order to understand the innovation in art. In our time, tradition and history are both positioned for reassessment and criticism, and no sort of “power” could isolate history and tradition into a completely closed system. Similarly, only in an open platform could people comment on artistic creativity and cultural trends of their own time.
