《'国'字研究》

焦应奇

2013年7月6日 – 9月8日

箭厂空间在此荣幸地推出焦应奇《‘国’字研究》,这是一次对常用汉字的写法、含义在当下语境中进行修改与再创造的尝试。焦应奇自1994年开始“造字” 以来,至今已在多场活动中分阶段地展出了他的“造字”成果,包括伊比利亚当代艺术中心(2010)和深圳OCT当代艺术中心(2011)。这次在箭厂空间的展出,艺术家将焦点聚焦于“国”字,空间在此成为了一个虚拟的“讲堂”,参观者可以根据黑板上的造字提示与墙上的造字索引写下自己的改版“国”字,投放在木箱中的造字表将在活动结束后被艺术家整理汇集到未来的“国”字出版物当中。 箭厂空间将于展出期间的每周六日下午2点-7点对外开放,同时也在周边几个小商铺中设置造字收集箱收集感兴趣者的“国”字。 

焦应奇(1958年生于山东省)毕业于中央美术学院壁画系,是一位居住于北京的概念艺术家。1997年至2001年创建并运营了北京最早的独立艺术空间-艺术家仓库。他的艺术创作涉及多个领域,从传统绘画,多媒体艺术,电脑乱码,到他现在所持续进行的新汉字造字研究。焦应奇的作品曾展出于众多国际展览中,包括葡萄牙Madaila当代艺术馆(1995), 马德里大学当代艺术博物馆(1994)以及圣保罗双年展(1996)。

Character Study: Nation

Jiao Yingqi 焦应奇


2013.07.06 – 09.08

Arrow Factory is pleased to present Character Study: Nation, an interactive project by artist Jiao Yingqi that explores alternative forms and meanings for commonly used Chinese characters. Character Study is a project that began in 1994, and has taken various incarnations and exhibited in different exhibitions including at the Iberia Center for the Arts (2010) and Shenzhen’s OCAT (2011). In this version of the project, Jiao focuses on the character for Nation (国 or 國) and asks visitors to participate by inventing new variations of the character based on different combinations of the individual components.  Entering a hybrid classroom / voting booth, with educational and reference materials hanging from the walls, viewer participants can handwrite their own characters on printed forms and submit into a ballot box for later publication.  To facilitate participation Arrow Factory will open its doors on Saturdays and Sundays from 2-7pm during the run of the exhibition. Additional submission boxes will be placed in a few businesses in and around Jianchang Hutong. Contributions to the project will be collected into a book and published.

Beijing-based Jiao Yingqi (b. 1958) is conceptual artist and a researcher at the China Art Research Institute. He is a graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) and was a lecturer in CAFA’s Mural Painting department until 1997. Between 1997-2001 he founded and ran the Beijing Artists Warehouse (北京艺术家仓库), one of the earliest artist-run spaces in Beijing. His practice has evolved from traditional painting and mixed media through computer-based hypertext to his current research into new Chinese characters. His work has been shown in various international venues including the Portugal Madaila Contemporary Art Museum (1995), the Madrid University City Museum of Modern Art (1994) and at the Sao Paulo Biennial (1996).

Jiao will lead two Character Study workshops on July 13 and Sept 7, 2013 fropm 4-5:30pm. The workshops will cover methods for using Chinese to create new characters.
