展览《侧切》的两位艺术家通过她们的项目合作,在作品中进一步探讨彼此之间洞察力的变化与感应。何颖宜使用人们熟悉的低成本的材料,按实物的比例手工打造出一台乒乓球桌。 作品《静止的运动》试图通过一个异质化的表层衬托出一种世俗的惰性-艺术家在作品中以低科技的手段设置了一个永不休止,悬浮在空气中的乒乓球。翁维的作品《再变迁》仿佛在回应乒乓球桌的轮廓,空间透视的戏剧性改变与创作过程中肢体语言的巧妙借用,既是其作品概念的出发点也成为了连接两件作品的视觉纽带。作品《再变迁》也是翁维一直创作中的Anti-mapping系列的一部分,整个系列用绘画,剪纸和装置的形式在一些被忽略的城市空间里创作异质的图像叙事。这次展览的两位艺术家在作品中共同运用了对于纸质材料的剪裁,切割与粘接,她们试图在证实日常生活里常见的手工制作方式亦能呈现出的视觉动力。

Wei Weng "As Prospects Get Out of Range"

SLICE


Featuring works by
Rania Ho
Wei Weng

April 30- Mid July 2008

Arrow Factory is pleased to announce its inaugural exhibition Slice now on view in its newly opened downtown Beijing location. Designed to be viewed from the street only, Arrow Factory exhibitions represent a unique approach to contemporary art making that is defined by mediating relationships with the local surroundings and the aesthetics of urban space. Slice is the first in a series of site-specific projects intended to respond to factors, patterns, habits and activities characteristic of the immediate environment. Created by Beijing-based artists Rania Ho and Wei Weng, Slice is a collaborative project that seeks to uncover relationships between perception and movement, ephemeral experiences and the concrete materiality of everyday life.

In “Stop-Action” artist Rania Ho has handcrafted a scale reproduction of a familiar everyday object—a ping-pong table—out of low-cost commonly found materials. The inertness of this mundane object is humorously offset with a hint of movement through the form of a constantly levitating ping-pong ball. Echoing the outline of a ping-pong table and alluding to sparks of movement and certain perspectival shifts, painter Wei Weng has created a site-specific wall painting entitled “As Prospects Get out of Range”. This painting and accompanying set of papercuts is part of Weng’s ongoing Anti-mapping series in which the artist seeks to invent idiosyncratic visual narratives in inadvertent urban spaces through the use of diverse media including paintings, cutouts and installations. The acts of cutting, slicing and carving undertaken by these artists yield valuable associations to craft and the handmade, while simultaneously tackling the underlying mechanics that define contemporary life.
