“哪来的风” “Where the Wind Comes From”

陈航峰 Chen Hangfeng in collaboration with W+K Shanghai
G/F W+K Shanghai, No. 1035 Changle Lu (Corner Wulumuqi Lu)
Sep 7 - Oct 10, 2011, from 6am-midnight daily
Contact: flora.yang@wk.com
俗话说,无风不起浪,但是“哪来的风“?W+K上海与艺术家陈航峰合作,推出全新互动装置作品“哪来的风”。如果你路过长乐路我们办公室一楼,会看到一个很有江南感觉的竹子图案镶嵌装置,黑白极简颜色的搭配极具冲击力。在上海最繁华的闹市街头之一,为何会出现这样的装置?其实,当你走上前去, 它也会用独特的方式回应你。这就是“哪来的风“的秘密。
我们一直积极探索在中国急速发展的表象下人们的真实状态,展现传统中国文化中“慢“与尚未有定论的新价值“快”的冲突与矛盾。上海艺术家陈航峰的这幅“国画”其实并不是真的国画,如果你仔细看 ,会发现竹叶都是塑料袋做成的。究竟是“哪来的风”让我们存在的世界如此真实而又虚幻?请来探见。

W+K Shanghai is pleased to announce the newest installation in our ground-floor gallery space, “Where the Wind Comes From,” by artist Chen Hangfeng. Anyone passing by our [...]
