Artist Statement

THINK BEFORE ACTION


Now that performance art and all kinds of “incomprehensible” art are prevalent, I still think that, art should be thought first and then acted.


The emergence of this idea was the first project at the beginning of last semester. At that time, Harry and Rina were in a group. The three of us were not familiar with it at the time, and our respective directions were different. The discussion and planning of the project was not very positive, so we finally made a project in a hurry at the end of the period. We found some materials and red paint, went to the gallery to play freely, and after doing some things. 1 hour after, we packed up and went back to the dormitory. My thinking about this project was born after the “finished product” came out. I originally thought that such a work would not bring much, but I didn’t expect that the reaction of the students during the presentation made me have certain doubts and strangeness about this process: Why does such a Last Day Work feel very good, and the thinking after the finished product makes the whole process seem very reasonable and smooth.

Here are the final work that with red paint.


It is undeniable that there have been many such “incomprehensible” art in the history of art. The earliest Duchamp’s urinals, including Marina Abramović’s performance art, seem to be recognized as art first. product, and then understand and think about it. I actually like Abramović’s performance art, especially the “potential”, but my reason is more from her boldness and the texture of the photos, I don’t know if I witness this moment with my own eyes What emotions will arise, I think more is still fear and worry, maybe half a year after this performance art took place, when I think about it, I will still be afraid and worried.

Potential, by Abramović

There have been a lot of art exhibition unexpected incidents in the world. It probably means that the participants put their own things, or some things that are not works of art because those unexpected things were placed in this exhibition, causing these items to be regarded as art. People covered it with a glass cover, stopped in front of this “artwork”, looked at this unexpected exhibit carefully, and even picked up a camera to record such a “rare” artwork. In fact, it’s hard not to let me think about the so-called performance art, whether it is the artist’s own thinking and expressing it to the public, or whether we tacitly accept that this is art and generate thinking and awe.


My answer is that I think art should be thinking before action. I think that way, the artwork we see is more convincing.


Now that I have come up with this idea, and think it’s true, I’ll definitely follow the steps of thinking before acting. I think this is also the reason why I like design, not only can it bring a better experience to the world, but also the combination of rigorous logic of design and the expression of final beauty, whether it is product design, graphic design, or something new The fields are interaction design, experience design, etc. The well-designed logic makes me feel that every adjustment choose is reasonable and specific.

CANVAS-YOY

Canvas 是 YOY 工作室为 Innermost 设计的临时椅子。它可用作沙发或椅子,只需靠在墙上。
超现实的卡通感觉不可能发生;在靠墙的二维图像上轻松休息。隐藏在其中的结构化织物的巧妙构造使之成为可能。帆布的封面是可拆卸和可机洗的。

Zieharsofika

它重新考虑了常见的室内装潢技术,并使用传统的橡胶泡沫垫,在松紧带的帮助下,作为一种装饰形式出现。矩形泡沫垫保持拉伸状态,只能通过分层和收集来改变。就经济性而言,结构非常简单,不使用复杂的图案或单件。

靠垫仅通过弹性橡皮筋固定在木制餐椅结构上。Zieharsofika 避免了室内装潢和木板的永久连接,因此垫子在磨损后可以更换。

对于我来说,这个椅子给我很强的安全感和独特性。安全感可以理解为这个椅子的椅垫非常软,导致坐在上面会感觉很舒服。也因为坐垫是你自己绑上去的,所以每个人都会不太一样。

关于怀柔

“我们打着光脚在风车下跑,手上的狗尾巴草摇啊摇“

后来再想起来有关怀柔的经历,觉得这句话很适合描述。

第一次看到这么多“画材”,感觉好多东西都很新奇,有熟悉的丙烯 马克笔 画布啥的,但也有没想到会出现在这里的麻绳 皮筋 铁丝啥的。

Reflection

这次首先就是让我感受到了一些不同的东西,原来没有尝试过的画布呀,用丙烯画画呀,还是就拿着本子在外面看到什么画什么的。原来并不算一个艺术人儿,这次让我感觉到了看到什么时候都会想要记录下来的氛围。这种感觉还有点神奇,还真的记录下来了什么:

这个当时觉得声音太烦人了,就用这样一种方式记录下来,留住了当时的感受。

第一次在画布上画画,那个时候对于画布的一些东西还很未知。懒得拿纸吸水,就直接画了,没想到一些纹理的出现让这个丙烯画变得特别了起来。上面黑色的线像是蜗牛留下的痕迹,是我喜欢的自然的感觉。

整趟旅程其实记录下来的不算很多,这还是有些遗憾的。有一些小小的感受没有被记下来,但其实都能感受到。

其次就是觉得自己尝试的种类其实有点单一,虽然是不太一样的画法,但都是很平面,画画的形式。

一团

这次的创作按照时间顺序可以分成好几个部分。

第一是用炭笔的部分,其次是蜡笔,广告笔,马克笔,喷漆。每一次换工具都会带来新的覆盖

因为我们都是根据音乐来画的线,而音乐大多又是圆滑的,所以我画出来的线一般都是圆滑的,像一团什么东西。包括后面的蜡笔和广告笔也是这样

马克笔写字的部分,墨文给了我们一个主题,就是“我们”。我写的几乎所有文字都和快乐有关。一是因为我确实是这么一个人,会非常容易快乐,也会为了我自己的快乐而做些事情。

完成这几个步骤之后,我们就拿上几个颜色的喷漆到外面去喷。

个人部分的最终成品就是这样:

之后就找另外一个人进行合作,我们选择的合作方式是从不同的方向撕成条,之后编织在一起。

这是我们的最终成品:

最终成品里这个部分是一部分亮点,两种不同的风格撞在一起。

紫蓝色的部分主要还是线条,而黄色的部分是喷漆喷出来的。一种比较粗狂,虽然线条比较smooth,但是对比喷漆的效果还是比较硬朗和粗狂的。黄色的部分非常柔和。这两种感觉的冲撞让我觉得它很好看。

feeling

对于最终的成品来说,两种东西的结合让我感觉非常奇妙,并且在一块画布上出现两种感觉。其中一个部分是我们两个人的部分都比较乱,编织在一起之后甚至感受不到这是两个人的作品。而另外一种感觉就是黄色部分和蓝紫色部分的融合,是一种矛盾,冲撞。

当这两种感觉同时出现在一张画布上的时候这样的感觉还是比较神奇的。我自己很喜欢这种所谓 冲突,冲撞,风格相撞的这种表达。

因为这次是闭眼创作,所以有些错误我可以原谅自己,比如我认为有些乱,整个画面有点没什么重点了。
