展覽簡介

「這個世界會好嗎？—向京在台北」，是當代館開館以來首次舉辦的大陸女性藝術家個展，本展集結向京二十一世紀創作中精選出來的二十四件作品，透過創作者敏銳的眼光，細審浮世的繁華與荒誕，以三個系列作品向世人提出了「這個世界會好嗎？」的大哉問。好與壞的分辨，除了外延到表象迷惑眾生的客觀現實，也可以回歸到主觀認定和自我麻痺的內在本質。向京以藝術家身份和作品展示發出這個大哉問，看似有意擾動世俗的秩序並激發觀者較主動的藝術閱讀行為，而每個人的回答也許洩露、呼應自身的處境，也許像虛無之神般永遠戴著面具，事實上它是沒有正確或最佳解答的!

Will things ever get better?—Xiang Jing @ MocaTp, 2013 is the first Chinese female artist’s solo exhibition ever held in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei. The exhibition includes 24 pieces of Xiang Jing’s artworks created in the 21st century. Through these three series in the exhibition, Xiang Jing throws out this grand question “Will things ever get better?” to the world with her penetrating vision that examines the world’s vanity and absurdity. Judging good from bad appears to be deceitfully objective while it could also be subjective, tantamount to the self-consoling human nature. As an artist, with her artworks, she seems to challenge the worldly order with her question, and inspires the audience to be active in their own reading of art. Each single answer might just reveal or respond to the audience’s personal situation in life. Perhaps the god of emptiness is always wearing a mask and there might be no correct or best answer to the question.

向京在台北當代藝術館的個展，含括了她最受談論和喜愛的【全裸】、【凡人】與【異境】三大系列代表作品。這些作品具體反應了她個人的成長經驗和心境變化。較早的【全裸】系列，旨在觀照存活於大都市中的今日女性，向京以獨特細膩的觀點切入這些小個體，從她們平凡的生命中轉化出眾多大膽、直指人心的藝術雕像，進而啟動了群體和世界關係的探索。2009年遷回北京後的創作發展，放棄了二元對立性的簡化處理，而偏好透過結構性與暗喻的方式，賦予作品一種折射性的語境和想像空間。其中的【凡人】系列，針對人們視而不見卻將之合理化的痛點，進行反思，暗喻人在社會系統、權力結構中的關係位置。【異境】系列則有意藉由動物無邪而隱憂的形象，召喚人性中的自然和純真成份，並對人類生存與發展的課題提出悠長的詰問。

The solo exhibition at MOCA, Taipei includes her celebrated series of “Naked Beyond Skin,” “Ordinary People,” and “Otherworld,” which all reflect her experience growing up and her psychic journey. “Naked Beyond Skin” is one of her early series. It focuses on women living in big cities today. She looked into their lives with her unique, insightful perspective, and created many bold and soul-touching sculptures, which explored the relationship between this particular group and the world. After moving back to Beijing in 2009, she turned from creating binary opposition in her works to be more structural and metaphoric in her art. It granted her works with a reflective context and space for imagination. “Ordinary People” directs the audience’s attention to the neglected things, contemplates on them, and becomes a metaphor for people’s positions in the social system and within the power structure. “Otherworld,” with the animals’ innocent but sorrowful looks, summons the nature and purity of humanity, and puts forth questions about human survival and development.

向京的創作基於鮮明的主體意識和自由意志，反覆搜尋人性純淨內在的本質，她以獨特的女性觀點書寫身體，藉以探討和呈現—面對時代轉換與環境變化，個人存在的真相和群體生命的意義。列名中國當代藝術中最具代表性的新生代雕塑家之一，向京顛覆了眾人對於傳統雕塑的既定印象，她的創作以體感輕盈的玻璃纖維為主體，加上一層層變化有致的顏料上色和一筆筆夾帶了溫潤情感的繪畫肌理，成功地將雕塑從被圍繞觀賞的立體藝術物件，進階轉化為結合創意形體及無聲話語的人我溝通平台；本次展覽，從「這個世界會好嗎?」的大提問到每件作品的呈現，繚繞盤旋在作品與觀眾之間的，毋寧是催生多重心靈對話的一種空間氛圍和閱讀語境。

Xiang Jing’s artworks are based on her distinctive philosophy and her freewill She searches repeatedly the pure nature within humanity, and constructs her writing of the body with her unique female perspective. Her works explore and represent the truth of individual existence and the meaning of life within a community when faced with the change of an era and environment. Known as one of the most representative sculptors in Chinese contemporary art, she overturns the traditional idea of sculptures through employing light fiber glass and various layers of paints. The brushes of paint bring warmth and emotion to her works, and transform the sculptures that should have been appreciated from different angles into a figural platform of silent communication between people. In this exhibition, from the question, “Will things ever get better?” to the artworks, the atmosphere of the space and the interpretive context become multi-layered and are interwoven between the artworks and the audience.

向京 Xiang Jing

向京，1968年生於北京，1995年畢業於中央美術學院雕塑系。曾任《大眾電影》美術編輯、上海師範大學美術學院雕塑系教師，2007年與丈夫瞿廣慈一起成立「X+Q雕塑工作室」，並於2010年投入開發「稀奇」品牌文創商品，是藝術圈中少數創作和事業同步經營有道的銀色夫妻檔。

Born in Beijing in 1968, Xiang Jing graduated from the Sculpture Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1995. She had been an art editor of the Popular Cinema Magazine and a lecturer of sculpture studio at Fine Art College of Shanghai Normal University. In 2007, she founded X+Q Sculpture Studio with her husband Qu Guangci, and started an art brand X+Q in 2010. In the art world, they are one of the few star couples who excel in creating artistic works and running business at the same time.

向京的作品極具個人特色而不斷發展，早年作品〈護身符〉，即曾同時榮獲中央美院畢業展一等獎及日本松岡家族基金會一等獎； 1995年以來，她的作品多次應邀參加海內外各大聯展，2001年後並陸續在北京、上海、台北、曼谷…等城市舉辦大型個展及個人創作巡迴展；她各時期的作品已先後被英國薩奇畫廊、上海美術館等多家美術機構和私人收藏，公認是具有紮實藝術底子的中國新生代藝術家。她在雕塑藝術領域的勇於創新和傑出成就，更使她在2012年獲得了「馬爹利非凡藝術人物」的榮銜和大獎。

Xiang Jing’s works have been characteristically distinctive and diverse. Her graduation work won the top prize at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and other awards. Since 1995, she has been invited to join many group exhibitions in China and abroad. Starting from 2001, she has held solo exhibitions and toured to Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Bangkok, etc. Her works from different periods of time are collected by the Saatchi Gallery in UK, Shanghai Art Museum, and many other art institutes and private collectors. Among Chinese artists of the young generation, she is publicly recognized for her art. Her innovativeness and outstanding achievements in the field of sculpture won her the Martell Extraordinary Artist Award in 2012.

中國策展人高士明形容：「向京的雕塑是用最為沈重的方式捕捉著日常世界中輕快的眾生相，那些略顯荒誕的瞬間形象構成了一份當代生活的輕鬆的社會學肖像報告。」被中國媒體喻為天才藝術家的向京，用創作紀錄自我成長的歷程，用有形的雕塑展現無形的心境和精神轉變，她以真實為靈魂，創造出樸拙的自然形體，透過成長經驗、身體書寫、個人處境等不同角度，間接地完成她對人性的解讀與關懷，同時開現了當代雕塑的個人風貌和中國特色，逐漸也受到國際當代藝術界的矚目。

Chinese curator, Gao Shiming, comments on her art: “Xiang Jing’s sculptures depict the ephemeral everyday scenes of life in the most sober way. Those rather absurd figures constructed a lively portrait report of the society.” Dubbed the name of a genius artist by the Chinese media, Xiang Jing reflects her journey of artistic growth through her works, and presents her intangible state of mind and spiritual growth with tangible sculptures. She creates those primitive figure with her true self. Through her experience of growing up, her sculptural writing of the body, and her personal views, she has completed her readings of humanity and expressed her cares while creating her personal style infused with Chinese characteristics of contemporary sculptures, all of which has brought her to the center of international contemporary art scene.

焦點：世界會好嗎？詰問人我反思.

圖、文／非池中藝術網

今年，台北當代藝術館首次舉辦中國女性雕塑家個展，並對觀眾提出「這個世界會好嗎？」的詰問，將展出藝術家向京最受注目的「凡人」、「全裸」、「異境」三大系列。

向京畢業於中央美術學院雕塑系，曾任上海師範大學美術學院雕塑工作室教師。她以觀照女性身體及精神關係聞名，作品呈現人性真實樣貌。2012年獲得「馬爹利非凡藝術人物」大獎，為中國最具代表性的當代女性雕塑家。

一走進展場，就是「凡人」系列中的無限向上延伸的《無限柱》。《無限柱》運用層疊的雜技演員雕像，從一樓入口門廳區，延伸至二樓展間，讓觀眾凝視作品時，產生無限延伸的視覺效果。

此外，《無限柱》也刻劃許多姿態相同，但表情不一的雜技女演員。向京說明，相同的姿勢強調集體合作裡，每個人的動作都必須相同，雜技演員不同的表情裡，則在思考現代人在一致動作裡，仍得保有個人特質的省思。

而「全裸」系列中的《一百個人演奏你？還是一個人？》，則是7個等身裸女雕像，圍坐在大腳盆邊泡腳。這7個女性互動親密，但彼此眼神卻沒有交流。《一百個人演奏你？還是一個人？》思考人生存在都會中，孤獨卻又得彼此取暖「一起泡腳」的人際縮影。

《這個世界會好嗎？》既是展覽名稱，也是「異境」系列的一匹白駒雕塑。這匹躊躇的白馬，則望著展間門口，對進門而入的觀眾，提出一個「這個…..更多詳細內容http://artemperor.tw/focus/245
