2010年4月3日下午3：00 “原始资本Original Sin——房圣易作品展”于798艺术区3818库内9画廊开幕，此次展览将展出艺术家2009年至今的最新作品。
房圣易对经济与艺术之间的联系一直很感兴趣。他常常往自己的作品中注入商业社会的元素，比如黄金，价格标签和债券货币等;他也擅长使用概念混淆和反讽的手段，比如在“永远差一点满足的欲望”以及“种族问题存在吗?”系列作品里可以看得出来。他也是在暗示人类无法摆脱心灵的贫瘠和天性的邪恶，救赎正是艺术的一种功能。
艺术家本人对于中国近三十年来的经济快速发展也十分感兴趣。此次展览的重要作品“原始资本”就是对社会主义祖国快速发展经济的一次侧面反思，是一件为即将成为历史的生产方式的纪念碑式作品。发展中国家对于先进文明的知识产权的利用、剽窃、掠夺，是落后文化对发达文化在认同前提下的赤裸裸地剥削。这或许是对历史上占有先发优势的殖民者们的总报应。在作品“灰色文化”系列里，图片的表层模糊不清，不过隐含的内容令人性奋。房圣易在此提醒观众的是生活的权利。虽说性感的片段让图片的模糊依然具有极高的吸引力，但是模糊不清的灰色让人联想到的是“意识形态”对于公众生活的干预，它提醒我们管制的存在和自由的相对性。图片上失去的色彩隐喻的是生理快感的压抑。
房圣易是具有国际视野的中国青年艺术家。他致力于以当代艺术介入社会现实生活，在关怀社会存在状态的同时，对于人类生活方式的演变以及精神状况的变化持续给予关注。

Original Sin——Art Exhibition of Fang Shengyi
“Original Sin——Art Exhibition of Fang Shengyi” is going to open in 9 Gallery located in the 3818 Warehouse of 798 Art District at 3:00pm April 3rd 2010. Latest works since 2009 will be shown on this exhibition.
He’s always been interested in the relation between economy and art, hence elements of commercial community such as gold, price tags, bonds and currency often show up in his works. He is also adept at concepts confusing and irony, that can be seen in the works of “Always Within An Ace Of Lust” and “Does Racial Issue Exist?”. He is also suggesting that humans can not get rid of the spiritual leanness and inborn evil. For he believes that salvation serves as a function of art.
Fang Shengyi is also very interested in rapid development of Chinese economy within the last three decades. The main work of this exhibition “Original Sin” is a lateral reconsideration toward the frantic pace of economic growth of the socialism homeland; it is a monumental work of the mode of production that will soon become history. The utilizing, plagiarizing and plundering of intellectual property of advanced civilization by the developing countries, equals to a bald-faced exploitation of developed culture under the premise of identification: this may be the general retribution of the colonizers who possess the first-mover advantages in history. In the series of “Grey Culture”, the blurry surface of image indicates exiting contents. What Fang hints here is the right of life. Although the erotic segments have promoted the appeal of vague pictures, ideology’s interference of public lives occurs in the blurry grey to remind us the existence of supervision and the relativity of freedom. The lack of colors plays a metaphor of the oppression of sensational content.
Fang Shengyi is a young Chinese artist with global vision. He is committed to intervene social reality with contemporary. While caring for the state of social existence, dedicating continuous attention to the evolution of human lifestyles, as well as variety of mental conditions.
