黄永砅:蛇杖

HUANG YONG PING:BATON SERPENT

就艺术来说，尺度是一个含糊的特征。物理空间的大小本身并没有多大意义，作品对地方及当地观众的卷入——一种感知与概念上的动员能力——才定义了它真正的格局。黄永冰在意大利的首次个展便邀请观众如此思考。这位具有高度原创性的艺术家用广泛的引用、残酷寓言和丰富层次、极富挑战的想象力创造了令人惊讶的作品。

In art, size is an ambivalent feature; it is not the sheer physical bulk that is significant per se. Rather, and pri- marily, it is the phenomenological impact and power of the work, the ability to involve location and viewer, the lo- cal and the remote, all at the same time-a form of mobi- lization both perceptual and conceptual-that creates its true scale. This is what the audience of Huang Yong Ping＇s first solo show in Italy is invited to consider： a surpris- ing, uncanny series of works from the multilayered and challenging imagination of a highly original artist, with all its wealth of references, allegories, and cruelty.
