Hong Kong M+ Sigg Collection: Another Story 香港“M+希克藏品展：别传”

04/01/2024

Starting from September 22, 2023, "M+ Sigg Collection: Another Story" is on display at the M+ Museum in Hong Kong. The Exhibition takes a visual approach to examine the styles and practices of contemporary Chinese art from the 1990s to the present, surveys how artists reconsider their cultural identities and express their uncertain state of being during China's rapid modernisation in the 1990s, and brings together a multitude of works that exhibit qualities of overflowing visuals, ambiguous meanings, obsessions with transiency, and traditional interpretation. It offers a different perspective on understanding contemporary Chinese art and foregrounds its unique visual language through the lens of artists who strive for self-presence. Zhu Wei, Curtain No.8, M+ Sigg collection, by donation. 于2023年9月22日开幕的“M+希克藏品：别传”正在香港M+ 博物馆展出。展览以视觉方式探讨1990年代至今中国当代艺术的风格和实践，关注在中国90年代急速转型的社会和经济发展中，艺术家对文化身份的思考及对新时代的困惑。当中聚焦躁动的视觉图像、不确定的意义、对无常的迷恋以及对传统的另类诠释，通过另类视角展现中国当代艺术独特的审美和表达方式。图为展出中的朱伟水墨作品《帷幕之八》。

“EVERYTHING EXISTS NOW” 万物之存在

12/13/2016

GROUP SHOW: Dawit Abebe, Chris Agnew, Kristian Evju, Marie Harnett, Caroline Jane Harris, Sook Jin Jo, Ali Kazim, Mohamed Lekleti, Sverre Malling, Saad Qureshi, Celina Teague, Barbara Walker & Zhu Wei 

PRIVATE VIEW: Saturday 7th of January 2017 3:00 - 7:00PM

8th of January – 18th of February 2017

"Why you? Why us for that matter? Why anything? Because this moment simply is. Have you ever seen bugs trapped in amber?... Well, here we are, Mr. Pilgrim, trapped in the amber of this moment. There is no why." -Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

A group show featuring drawing-based works, Everything Exists Now (8th January – 11th February 2017) at Kristin Hjellegjerde gallery, brings together 13 artists who each reflect on their current moment through personal, political and historical viewpoints, united by the common lens of time. Hailing from different backgrounds and artistic practices, the final whole is a nod to the concept of Eternalism, a space in which each moment exists in and of itself, an endless loop in which all these points exist at once. If, indeed, the idea really is that Everything Exists Now, then all moments are present simultaneously.

The artists are linked to each other by disparate yet complementary threads. Historicity, for example, finds life in the Research Lectures series of Chinese artist Zhu Wei, who critiques the darker side of a rapidly evolving China. Birmingham-based artist Barbara Walker's ongoing Shock and Awe drawings bring to the fore the under-recognised role of black servicemen and women in the British Armed Forces and war efforts from 1914 to present day. The fractured politics of the present are parsed through British Chris Agnew's new mixed media series, Hypnic Jerks, in which the physical phenomenon acts as a metaphor through which various socio-political events are examined, both personal and public. Also commenting on the present is Korean Sook Jin Jo's powerful Je Suis series. Combining photography with ink, charcoal and gouache, they reference the recent violence in France, and stand as a symbol of strength, protection and freedom. Her work often has an environmental slant as well, something Celina Teague's coloured pencil works also touch upon, with their preoccupation with the relentless and senseless slaughter of elephants and rhinos.

Fragmentation, meanwhile, emerges in the work of Paris-based Moroccan artist Mohamed Lekleti. His Plastic Anagrams feature broken up hybrids; men, women, and body parts in montages uniting ecstasy and violence, as if viewing multiple timeframes at once. This sensation of disintegration finds a common ground in Saad Qureshi's delicate plywood pieces. Much of his work looks to capture memories, examining how they are subject to constant revision, a chain of disconnected details that make up a past that is under constant scrutiny. The past is also found in Ali Kazim's Ruins. These watercolour drawings illustrate the landscape outside of Lahore, once the flourishing Indus Valley, and now a desolate landscape that serves as a burial site, still dotted with ancient mounts and strewn with terracotta shards from a distant past. Two London-based artists deal with the cutting up and slowing of time: Marie Harnett takes moments from films, a fragment of time, to capture a split second film still, laboriously reproducing it in pencil, as in Karenina, making a moment exist forever. Caroline Jane Harris, meanwhile, has captured the fleeting composition of one of her pixelated hand-cut photographs. Slow Data (Window), is a drawing physically executed in layers akin to a 3D printer; the process reveals an image passing through the realms of the three-dimensional to the digital, alluding to the irreversible direction of time and technological obsolescence in our fast-paced age.

Indeed, time moves, and it moves relentlessly. If Zhu Wei examines the effects of social change in China, then Ethiopian Dawit Abebe's Mutual Identity mixed media works examine the impact of technology on individuals in his home country, but also the effect on social interaction as a whole. Norwegian artist Kristin Evju also meditates on change, creating a semi-fictional historical narrative in Punchcard, a series of drawings examining a near-distant past in which tech that was once so groundbreaking is already a place we cease to understand. Elsewhere, as in Sverre Malling's latest drawings, fragments are drawn together from many sources: futuristic images converge with those from the past in a contradictory fashion. He seeks to translate into drawing using the collage form as a cognitive form of expression. These fragmented images exist in a state of flux, floating between concept, form and expression.

All histories, all thoughts, all memories, fragmented as they are over the sands of time, hover in the same moment; our pasts and presents and futures all hover in one, overarching 'now', and all we can do is seek to let go and float within it. Or, in the words of Kurt Vonnegut: "I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep." 中文

Zhu Wei Brings Newest Paintings To The 9th International Ink Art Biennale of Shenzhen 朱伟最新作亮相第九届深圳国际水墨双年展

03/31/2016

On March 27 the 9th International Ink Art Biennale of Shenzhen opened at Guanshanyue Art Museum in Shenzhen. Curated by famous curator Lu Hong, Chen Jun and Yang Xiaoyang, ink artworks created by 103 world-renowned artists are exhibited in Guanshanyue Art Museum, Shenzhen Art Museum and Shenzhen Fine Art Institute these days. Zhu Wei's newest ink paintings created in 2016 "Ink and Wash Research Lectures series" are shown in the exhibition. 3月27日"第九届深圳国际水墨双年展"在关山月美术馆拉开帷幕，展览汇集103位海内外知名艺术家的水墨作品，由著名策展人鲁虹、陈君、杨晓洋策展，分别在关山月美术馆、深圳美术馆和深圳画院美术馆展出。此次展览中朱伟带来的是《水墨研究课徒系列》2016年的新作。

"In these works he no longer paints on Xuan paper or silk, but newspapers which people are quite familiar with. Since what he paints are red curtain and other related symbols, his works are hence more profound in the concept and in the expression."--Lu Hong. “在这些作品中，他不再用熟宣纸与绢作画，而是采用了人们司空见惯的报纸。由于画的是红色帷幕与相关符号，故其作品在观念的表达上更显深刻。”——鲁虹

The exhibition will run through April 24. 展期将持续到4月24日。

Check out Lambert airport’s new sculpture 看看兰伯特机场的新雕塑

From St. Louis Business Journal, St. Louis, Missouri, USA, June 12 2014 来源于美国密苏里州圣路易斯市《圣路易斯商报》2014年6月12日稿

文/Jacob Kirn

Lambert-St. Louis International Airport’s renovated Terminal 1 will soon showcase a bronze sculpture from Beijing artist Zhu Wei, one of China’s most financially successful. 兰伯特-路易斯国际机场刚翻新一号航站楼将很快迎来由北京艺术家朱伟创作的铜雕塑。朱伟是中国商业上最成功的艺术家之一。

The piece’s two characters are in tunic suits, usually associated with Chairman Mao’s Communist China. (Zhu, who also specializes in printmaking and painting, entered the military as a teenager and created propaganda art until 1992.) 雕塑中是两个穿中山装的人，这通常让人联想到毛主席的社会主义中国。（朱伟还擅长版画和绘画，十几岁参军创作宣传艺术，直到1992年。）

“I have always tried to use traditional Chinese elements because we have thousands of years of history,” Zhu told the New York Times in 2005. “From the beginning, I have been trying to show how to modernize the past.” “我一直试图用传统的中国元素，因为我们有几千年的历史，”朱伟2005年对纽约时报说，“从一开始我就一直在试图展示如何使过去现代化。”

A Lambert spokesman said the 2003 sculpture, China China, which previously was on display at the IBM building in Manhattan and at 4691 Maryland Ave., in the Central West End, will be on display in the Terminal 1 ticketing lounge for at least 10 years. It is on loan from the Gateway Foundation. 兰伯特机场的发言人说，这个2003年制作的雕塑《中国中国》以前曾被陈列在曼哈顿的IBM大厦和市中心西区马里兰大道4691号，现在它将在一号航站楼售票厅至少展示10年。它是向Gateway基金会借展的。

Lambert’s Art Advisory Committee, which has seven members, endorsed the display of China China. 兰伯特机场的艺术咨询委员会有七个成员，他们均支持《中国中国》的展览。

Art Advisory Committee members are: David Allen, director, Metro Arts In Transit; Susan Marie Barrett, director, World Chess Hall of Fame; Laura Helling, director of development at Wings of Hope; Marilu Knode, director of the Laumeier Sculpture Park; Jill Macquire, executive director for the St. Louis Regional Arts Commission; Tricia Paik, former associate curator of modern and contemporary art at the St. Louis Art Museum; and attorney Freida Wheaton. 艺术咨询委员会成员有：戴维艾伦，运输地铁艺术主任；苏珊玛丽巴雷特，世界象棋名人堂主任；劳拉海玲，希望之翅发展总监；玛丽卢诺德，Laumeier雕塑公园主任；吉尔麦夸尔，圣路易斯地区艺术委员会执行主任；特里西娅派克，圣路易斯现当代艺术博物馆前副馆长；芙蕾达惠顿，律师。

All members are appointed by the mayor of St. Louis. 所有的成员都是由圣路易斯市长任命。

The nonprofit Gateway Foundation, which owns art works around St. Louis, reported revenue of $2.6 million and expenses of $1.7 million in 2012, according to its most recent tax filing with the Internal Revenue Service. 非营利的Gateway基金会拥有这件艺术作品，根据国税局最新的纳税申报，2012年这个基金会收入2600000美元，支出1700000美元。

Zhu Wei's Ink Painting was Collected in Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology at University of Oxford 朱伟水墨作品被牛津大学阿什莫林艺术与考古博物馆收藏

Zhu Wei's early ink paintings "Go West No.9 " and "My Lover, I want to fight side by side with you" are one of the few Chinese contemporary art works collected by Ashmolean Museum. 至今有三百余年历史的英国牛津大学阿什莫林艺术与考古博物馆被公认是英语世界中第一个成立的大学博物馆，也是第一个公众博物馆。阿什莫林博物馆收藏的朱伟早期水墨作品《九十年代之九》以及《爱人我要和你去战斗》是该馆为数不多的中国当代艺术藏品之一。
