Panta Rhei—202307171230, LIU Ren 刘任, 2023. Silk screening on straw paper, gold foil 丝网草纸、金箔, 114 × 102 cm“Panta Rhei”是古希腊哲学家赫拉克利特的观点，意指万物皆流，无物永驻，人无法两次踏入同一条河流。当你再次抬腿的时候，此河流已非彼河流，这在如今快节奏的城市生活中尤为明显。草纸，作为废弃纸张的回收与再制作的媒介，它是人们生存痕迹一次次抹平的见证。在这个系列里，刘任将草纸进一步的消解，制作成纸浆风干后接近于石头的效果，个人信息流逝的痕迹在这个过程里被进一步的强调与提炼，同时在空隙中嵌入黄金，与草纸的廉价的消耗性形成强烈的反差。“Panta Rhei” tears a sheet from Greek philosopher Heraclitus’ summary of the ever-changing nature of existence, where “one cannot step twice into the same stream.” In the heady pace of today’s urban lifestyle, this adage is especially apparent. Straw paper, as a medium which is tossed aside only to be re-formed, is a testament to human life as it is wiped away again and again. In this series, LIU breaks down straw paper step by step, transforming it into pulp, and then drying it into a stone-like effect. The traces of personal information as it passes away is further emphasized and refined through this process. Within the cracks, the artist inserts gold, which forms a sharp contrast to the expendability of straw paper.

LIU’s art practice mainly involves painting, sculpture and installation.

艺术家｜张如怡
Artist | ZHANG Ruyi
张如怡（生于1985年）现居上海。她的艺术实践围绕日常逻辑展开，作品因调和人工制品、工业经验以及城市生活而占据特殊空间。艺术家从日常材料中涉取灵感，以探索和调度个体、物料、场所三者之间的层次及相互作用力作为关键叙述途径。创作主要涉及据地装置、雕塑及综合媒介的运用，借“现实”为样板，牵引出城市环境变迁过程中现实对个体情绪的塑造，通过矛盾性转化的视觉语言，将直觉和观察种植于朴素的物质之中，赋予其物质之外的精神内涵。
近年参与的重要机构展览有：上海余德耀美术馆（上海，2023年）、“脆弱宣言”——第16届里昂双年展（法国里昂，2022年）、和美术馆（广东佛山，2022年）、大馆当代美术馆（香港，2022年）、上海当代艺术博物馆（上海，2021年）、上海油罐艺术中心（上海，2021年）、UCCA 沙丘美术馆（秦皇岛，2020年）、K11 基金会（香港，2019年）、外滩美术馆（上海，2018年）等。她的精选个展包括：“或废或更”（东画廊，上海，2023年）、“张如怡：低声细语”（UCCA尤伦斯当代艺术中心，北京，2022年）、“现代化石”（星美术馆，上海，2022年）、“以为何处”（东画廊，上海，2019年）、“盆栽”（François Ghebaly画廊，洛杉矶，2019年）等。ZHANG Ruyi (b.1985) currently lives and works in Shanghai. Her practice and work unfold around the logic of everyday and occupy a unique space which reconciles artefacts, industrial experience, and urban life. The artist draws inspiration from commonplace materials, exploring and mediating the hierarchy and interplay between the individual, the material, and the place as a key narrative pathway. Her work mainly involves site-specific installation, sculpture, and integrated media, using "reality" as a model to draw out the shaping of individual emotions as the city shifts around its inhabitants, and planting intuition and observation in simple materials through the visual language of paradoxical transformation, to bestow a spiritual significance which extends beyond the material.Her recent institutional exhibitions include Yuz Museum (Shanghai, 2023), the 16th Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art - “Manifesto of Fragility” (Lyon, 2022), He Art Museum (Foshan, Guang Dong, 2022), Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong, 2022), Power Station of Art (Shanghai, 2021), TANK Shanghai Art Centre (Shanghai, 2021), UCCA Dune (Beijing, 2020), the K11 Art Foundation (Hong Kong, 2019), Rockbund Art Museum (Shanghai, 2018) and other institutions. Her featured solo exhibitions include “Once Remain, Once Remould” (Don Gallery, Shanghai, 2023), "ZHANG Ruyi: Speaking Softly" (UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing, 2022), "Modern Fossil" (START Museum, Shanghai, 2022), "Consciousness of Location " (Don Gallery, Shanghai, 2019), "Bonsai" (François Ghebaly Gallery, Los Angeles, 2019).
