凯旋画廊代理艺术家徐渠参加武汉美术馆呈现的群展「城市流体——2024武汉双年展」。
「城市流体——2024武汉双年展」已于10月5日在武汉美术馆（汉口馆、琴台馆）正式开展，来自20个国家的140多位艺术家，为观众带来200余件（组）包括绘画、雕塑、综合装置、影像以及数字媒体等多元化的精彩艺术作品。展期约8个月，至2025年5月31日结束。徐渠的大型装置作品《降临》将在展厅内营造出科幻影片中未知生物降临在巨大飞行器上的场景。作品材质取自回收的八台废弃ATM机，艺术家将机器拆解、展平放置后，组合在一个平台之上，并在这些ATM机屏幕中设置随机播放的关机画面。观众行走在装置平台上，可以俯视想象自身所处的环境。随着货币交易与金融行业的数字化转型，原先的物理操作流程被逐步简化，应用场景被压缩和迭代。如同这些曾经完美的工业设计品的宿命，这是一种抛弃或远离的情绪体验，一切是人类自己为自己所设计的降临。TRIUMPH GALLERY is pleased to announced artist Xu Qu was invited to participate in group exhibition URBAN FLUIDITY: WUHAN BIENNALE 2024 at Wuhan Art Museum.
URBAN FLUIDITY: WUHAN BIENNALE 2024 was officially launched on October 5 at Wuhan Art Museum (Hankou and Qintai), with more than 140 artists from 20 countries presenting more than 200 works of art, including paintings, sculptures, mixed-use installations, videos and digital media. The exhibition will last for about 8 months, until the end of the exhibition period. The exhibition will last for about 8 months until May 31, 2025.Advent, Xu Qu's large-scale installation, will create a scene reminiscent of an unknown extra-terrestrial descending onto a massive spacecraft. The mediums of this work are recycled components from eight discarded ATMs. After disassembling and flattening the machines, they will be arranged on a platform, with random shutdown screens displayed on their screens. Walking on the platform, visitors can envision the atmosphere in a vertical view. Amidst the digital transformation of currency transactions and the financial industry, the physical operating processes in bank transactions have been gradually changed, and application scenarios of money exchanges are simplified and upgraded. The ending of these discarded ATMs evokes emotions of abandonment or separation: these once perfect industrial design products foreshadow the advent of the last phase of human creation.
