    OPEN CALL PREFACE

   展览征集前言


“And indeed there will be time, for the yellow smoke that slides along the street, rubbing its back upon the window panes; there will be time, there will be time. To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; there will be time to murder and create; and time for all the works and days of hands, that lift and drop a question on your plate; time for you and time for me, and time yet for a hundred indecisions, and for a hundred visions and revisions, before the taking of a toast and tea.” 

- TS Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (1965) [1]


Change is the only constant. In Buddhism, there is an emphasis on recognising the impermanence of all things. This concept holds that "all conditioned existences, without exception, are transient, evanescent, and inconstant. All temporal things, whether material or mental, are compounded objects in a constant state of change, subject to decline and destruction."[2]  The Japanese term "物哀" (mono no aware), which translates to the pathos of things, reflects a subdued and enduring sorrow faced with impermanence. [3] Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950), a modern master of printmaking, is one of the representatives of the aesthetics of "mono no aware". Meanwhile, the "I Ching" (Book of Changes), as one of humanity's earliest efforts to position itself within the cosmos, employs sixty-four hexagrams as a system model for change. It advocates for a mindset of positive adaptation, seeking to understand and grasp the nature of change.


In the 60s, conceptual artists including Roman Opałka, On Kawara, Hanne Darboven had pushed the depiction of time to an extreme. They had embedded the notion of time in the content, philosophy, and most profoundly in their process by establishing and committing to rigorously serialized systems. Both Opałka’s 1965/1-∞ and Kawara’s Today series (date paintings) have lasted for almost half a century, which were sustained practices lasting throughout the artists’ careers. Kawara had referred to his way of working as the “primordial forms of image-making”. Each Date Painting had to be completed within 24 hours with the same ritual, and in One Million Years, every page contained five hundred years typed in a uniform format. [4] Starting from the number “1”, Opałka continued to paint numbers sequentially in rows on the same sized canvas (the size of the door of his Warsaw studio). When he ran out of space, he would start again on another canvas. Each canvas is a detail of the series. At last, Opałka completed 233 details and ends with the number 5,607,249. [5] In Darboven’s Cultural History 1880–1983 (1980-83),  1,589 individually framed works on paper of uniform format and 19 sculptural elements deliver an overwhelming encyclopedia of cultural, social and historical elements. [6]


We hope our sharing provides inspiration rather than constraints to artists. The process of art creation is the materialisation of momentary thoughts and experiences, where ideas are carried by canvas or other mediums, essentially constituting a confrontation with time. The exhibition "about time" invites artists to share their experiences with time, change, and eternity.

 

“的确总会有时间。让黄烟沿街道肆意,在窗上摩擦它的后背。总会有时间,总会有时间准备一张面孔,去迎接你遇见的面孔。总会有时间去扼杀,创造。总会有时间让辗转劳作的双手,举起问题又丢进你盘里;总会有时间,给你,给我;有时间一百次迟疑,一百次幻想与修正,在吃一片烤面包与喝茶之前”

- T.S. 艾略特,《J·阿尔弗雷德-普鲁弗洛克的情歌》[1]


永恒的对抗

改变是唯一的永恒。佛教中强调对「无常」的认知,即 “所有有条件的存在,无一例外,都是短暂的、稍纵即逝的、不稳定的。所有临时的事物,无论是物质的还是精神的,都是在持续变化的条件中复合的对象,受制于衰退和毁灭。” [2] 日文中有「物哀」(物の哀れ,mono no aware)一词,是面对无常而产生的克制隐忍的悲伤。现代版画大师吉田博(HiroshiYoshida,1876-1950)是「物哀」美学的代表之一。[3] 而「易经」(I Ching, Book of Changes),作为人类试图将自己置于宇宙之中的最初努力之一, 则以六十四卦作为变化体系模型,以积极应变的思维,谋求理解、把握变化 


从对时间这一主题的探索上,罗曼·奥帕乌卡(Roman Opałka)、河原温(On Kawara)、汉娜·达博文(Hanne Darboven)等观念艺术家将时间的描绘推向了极致。他们通过建立严格的序列化系统及苛刻的执行标准,将时间概念深刻地嵌入到创作过程中。Opałka的「1965/1-∞」和河原温的「今日」系列(Date Paintings)的创作都持续了近半个世纪。河原温将他的工作方式称为「图像制作的原始形式」。每一幅日期画都必须在24小时内完成,并以同样的仪式进行,而在「一百万年」(One Million Years)中,每一页都包含以统一格式打印的五百年。[4] 从数字1开始,Opałka继续在相同尺寸的画布(艺术家华沙工作室门的尺寸)上绘制数字。每一张画布都是该系列的一个细节。Opałka完成了233 个细节,最终数字为 5,607,249。[5] 在Darboven的「1880-1983年文化史」中,1,589件统一格式的纸上作品和19个雕塑元素呈现了令人震惊的文化、社会和历史元素百科全书 [6] 


我们希望我们的分享给艺术家提供灵感而非约束。艺术创作是将瞬间的思想、经历具象化的过程,思想由画布或其他媒介承载,本质即是对时间的对抗。展览 about time「流年」邀请艺术家分享对于时间、改变、永恒的体会,挑战、质疑、并重塑我们对时间的理解,发现超越时间限制的情感和真理

CANVAS TO CAREER

艺术家职业赋能计划

CANVAS TO CAREER 

艺术的内在价值无法衡量,每件艺术作品都经历了无数次实验和辗转的思考,寄托着艺术家的经历和情感。然而如同任何职业一样,将热情转化为职业常常充满挑战。艺术家将不可避免地面临从创作者到职业艺术家、雇员或创业者的身份转变,并需要全方面的了解市场、行业,以打造自身的竞争力并明确职业发展路径


在竞争激烈的创意行业中,优秀的履历是至关重要。履历不仅展示艺术家的教育背景、展览、奖项、驻地经历,同时也是艺术家承诺、成长和贡献的证明。无论是画廊、藏家或雇主,履历都是市场了解艺术家的重要依据


CANVAS TO CAREER计划旨在弥合艺术教育、实践与职业发展间的差距。我们将以艺术家/创作者的职业愿景出发,对艺术家/创作者进行针对性辅导及职业计划,以帮助艺术家全方位打造竞争力,包括

  • 展览机会:个展、双展及群展机会;

  • 媒体宣传:通过自有媒体及媒体合作伙伴,发布艺术评论、访谈、协助艺术家发表、出版,增加艺术家的曝光度;

  • 公众参与:组织公开演讲和讨论小组,为艺术家提供与公众直接交流的平台; 

  • 职业发展:帮助艺术家构建和完善简历;为杰出艺术家提供职业机会或推荐信。于2024年内,落雁艺术向落雁画廊及其他合作画廊推荐多名艺术家,其中3名艺术家已被落雁画廊签约,并会由落雁画廊代理,参加北京当代艺术博览会 

GLOBAL TALENT VISA ENDORSEMENT
