“天鹅绒” 计划 / "Velvet" project

叶弥的短篇小说“天鹅绒”,好像让我领会到了一些关于艺术的东西。就像小说所诠释的，有些东西会使你毫无理由的抛开生死，寻找着内心对一些事物的迷惘和渴望，那似乎是一种未被格式化的柔软的东西，它其实一直存在于每个普通人的心中，并依附于普通的物中。我打算让代表“艺术的物”回到“原来的物”，看看能否找到那种未被格式化的柔软。一部分作品刻意运用了时下流行的手段，将经典的艺术品进行转化，最后试图让作品消解到一个无效的结果。也许暂时忘却“艺术品”可以让我找到出口——于是，我把代表杜尚经典作品的复制品和具有消费审美的雕花画框，还原成一块布和木屑作为普通物的状态，这时候它是什么呢？我选了杜尚的《泉》同款小便池为原型，制成了巧克力的小便池，并安装回卫生间，还原回原来的功能...... 处在景观化社会中的我们，有些规整的现成的东西，事实上在强迫我们进入一个确定的行为方式中去，比如人们被自己研发的科技成果牵着走，艺术被资本所形成规整的运作模态牵着走，因此艺术在资本消费中形成一种状态，就像我们上了科技的瘾一样，艺术上了资本的瘾，并沉迷于此。当然资本的介入是一种“药”，有毒同时也有疗效。我在其中一部分作品中，将运用资本将“艺术品”消解，并将其转化为一种有机关系，来寻找那种未被格式化的可循环的柔软。

Ye Mi’s short story “Velvet” seems to have taught me something about art. As the novel explains, there are things that will make you forget about life and death for no reason, and start seeking something for inner confusion and desire. It seems to be an unformatted soft thing. It always exists in heart of everyone and is attached to common things. I intend to return the “artwork " to the "original thing", trying to dispel the "artwork" into an ineffective result. And try to find the unformatted softness, perhaps through forget the "artwork" can let me find the exit - so I made the replica of Duchamp's classic works and the carved frame with the consumption aesthetics into a piece of cloth and sawdust. What is it?" I chose Duchamp's "Spring" with the urinal as a prototype, made a chocolate urinal, and installed it back into the bathroom, returning to the original function... In The society of the Spectacle, some of the regular things are actually forcing us to enter a certain behavioral way. For example, people are led by the scientific and technological achievements, and art is formed by the regular operation of capital. The modality takes the lead, so art forms a state in capital consumption, just like our addiction to technology, art is addicted to capital, and is addicted to it. Of course, the intervention of capital is a kind of "medicine", which is both toxic and effective. In some of my works, I will use capital to dissipate “artwork” and turn it into an organic relationship to find the unformatted recyclable softness.

Part1 “天鹅绒” 计划A+B "Velvet" project A+B 作品由可降解的材料制作，并在材料中加入蒲公英种子，作品通过生产和消费，经过“艺术品的瓦解”再成新的生态。我想让商业去促成“关怀”，我只是完成了作品的一半（视觉形式），把完成作品的主动权交给藏家（行为），藏家可将作品连同作品里的种子一起埋于泥土里，让其生长，这样就不得不毁掉外在形式的东西，将其转化为养料，并用“真爱”去照顾它，使得蒲公英种子发芽，伴随着“关怀”慢慢成长…… 我希望能在世界各处都可以种入这些作品种子，形成一个更大范围的循环。

The work is made of degradable materials, and added dandelion seeds to the material. Through production and consumption, the work forms a new ecology through the “disintegration of art”. I want the business to promote “care”. I just finished half of the work (visual form) and handed over them to the collector (Performance). The collector can bury the work with the seeds in the work in the soil. Let the seed grow up, so that it will destroy the work’s external form, turn it into nutrients, and take care of it with " love", so that the dandelion seeds sprout, and grow up with "care"... I hope that seeds in these works can be planted throughout the world to form a broader cycle.

成了“艺术品” 在整理我母亲生前的物品时，我发现她把我用第一份工资给她买的一件羊绒衫，与其他衣服隔开一定的空间的挂在衣柜里（商标的挂牌没有拆，价格是她自己舍不得买的，但只是一件很普通的羊绒衫），其他衣服挤在一起，而它的周围空出了一定的空间……我能感受到一种画面：她经常打开衣柜看一看，如同看着一件珍贵的艺术品……于是，我的购买行为成为了她的收藏，她将我的情感和寄予我的情感放入了这件衣服里，用这件和商场里并没有任何区别的衣服，来承载我对她无私的爱的认可。于是，这件衣服就不再只是衣服了……一种永恒的柔软）影像、装置 2018

Became a "artwork" When sorting out my mother's objects she left behind, I found that she kept the cashmere sweater that I bought for her with my first salary, and separated it from the other clothes in a certain space. The trademark was not listed, the price was She can't afford to buy it, but it's just a very ordinary cashmere sweater. The other clothes are crowded together, and there is a certain space around it... I can feel a picture: she often opens the closet and looks at it. It’s like looking at a precious piece of art... So my buying behavior became her collection, she put my emotions and her empathy with me into this dress, there is no such thing in this store. I used an indifferent clothes to carry my recognition of her unselfish love. So, this dress is no longer just clothes... an eternal softness) Image、Installation 2018
