话语之上——记“语上——张从云、康蕾双个展”

Beyond Discourse: Review of “Beyond Discourse——A Joint Exhibition of Zhang Congyun and Kang Lei”

近年来,当代绘画发生了较大的变化,一个突出的特点,在于创作路径的多元化:有的强调修辞与叙事的建构,有的从个人的文化记忆出发,有的则追求观念化的表达……但不管切入的角度如何,最重要的仍是艺术家对个人创作逻辑的捍卫,以及创作方法论上的自觉。本次"语上——张从云、康蕾双个展"中,这对艺术伉俪展现了在追求社会学的前卫或美学的前卫的过程中,当代艺术家是如何解答二者与其内部不断砥砺与博弈的二元对立的话语的。

Recent years have seen significant changes in contemporary paintings, featuring diversified methods of creation: focusing on constructing one’s own ways in rhetoric and narration;taking one’s personal cultural memories as the starting point;seeking conceptualized expression, etc.. No matter what approach an artist may take, the most important thing is to defend his or her personal logic of creation and self-awareness of creation methods."Beyond Discourse-A Joint Exhibition of Zhang Congyun and Kang Lei" illustrates how contemporary artists, in the process of pursuing sociological or aesthetic avant-garde, deal with the binary oppositional discourses full of internal competition.
