林奥劼：越秀
Lin Aojie: Designers Have a Future Only When They Treat Artworks as Initial Inspiration
ShanghART Shanghai Bldg.8香格纳上海将于2019年11月6日在西岸8号楼推出林奥劼个展《越秀》，呈现艺术家自今年初香格纳北京个展之后最新创作的绘画、录像及文本作品。
Opening on 6 November, ShanghART Gallery is pleased to present Lin Aojie’ solo exhibition “Designers Have a Future Only When They Treat Artworks as Initial Inspiration” at Building No. 8, West Bund, Shanghai. On view will be new works, such as painting, video and text, made after Lin’s solo show at ShanghART Beijing earlier this year.艺术家的故事（截屏） Why I Want to Be an Artist (Screenshots) | 林奥劼 LIN Aojie | 2019 | 单路视频 Single-channel video | 36 minutes | Edition of 5林奥劼的作品常常以轻松、直白的方式触及整个艺术生态与权力系统本身，由此展开多重维度的考察和单方面干预。延续了北京个展中对艺术家身份、行业发展态势的审视，这次展览聚焦于林奥劼在接受艺术教育过程中的个人化体验，在此基础上引伸出对艺术史的地缘思考与独特认知，以及如何进一步转化为切实行动。Lin’s work always approaches the entire art ecology and the power of art system in a causal yet direct way, so as to conduct multi-dimensional examination and one-sided intervention. Continuing exploration of the identity of an artist and the development of art industry as in the Beijing show, this exhibition focuses on Lin Aojie’s personal experience in receiving art education. On that basis, it not only conveys Lin’s unique cognition and geopolitical thinking on art history, but also results in further practical actions.如个展的英文标题所言，“设计师必须借鉴艺术作品才找到未来”，林奥劼的创作实践亦游走于艺术、设计与大众文化等领域的中间地带。借此次展览的契机，艺术家为香格纳画廊位于上海、北京、新加坡的五个空间打造了一系列动物形象贴纸。它们将同期出现在对应的场所中，为观者的想象力提供一道微妙的催化剂。 
As the title says, “Designers have a future only when they treat artworks as initial inspiration”, Lin Aojie also wanders around the intersections between art, design and popular culture, while the Chinese title “Yue Xiu” is actually the name of a district in Guangzhou. The artist creates a series of animal stickers for the five spaces of ShanghART Gallery in Shanghai, Beijing and Singapore – with this solo exhibition these creative stickers will appear in corresponding spaces, acting as a subtle catalyst for the viewer's imagination.
