香格纳画廊荣幸宣布新加坡艺术家赵仁辉个展“圣诞岛，自然而然”将于3月11日至5月8日在新加坡吉门营房香格纳画廊空间展出。展览包含艺术家在2016年悉尼双年展展出的系列作品，这些作品也是首次亮相新加坡。开幕活动将在3月15日晚6点至9点于香格纳画廊空间举办，艺术家将亲临现场进行演讲和新书发布。赵仁辉主要研究岛上的濒危物种，检视人类生存痕迹对自然造成的意想不到的后果。他的摄影系列呈现了圣诞岛上奇特的生物种群、自然现象和自然地标，以及他独树一帜的“伪科学”和戏谑式的记录和诠释。
ShanghART Singapore is pleased to present a solo show by acclaimed Singapore artist and photographer Robert Zhao Renhui, titled “Christmas Island, Naturally” on view from 11 March through 8 May. The exhibition comprises works commissioned for and exhibited at the Sydney Biennale 2016 and marks the debut of these works in Singapore, as well as showcasing previously unexhibited works in the series. The opening reception will be held Wednesday, 15 March 2017, from 6-9pm, including an artist’s talk and exhibition book launch. The artist’s study focuses on documenting the island’s imperiled and extinct species, and also examines the unintended consequences of man’s presence. The artist’s photographic series of the island’s strange creatures, natural phenomena and landmarks are accompanied by signature pseudo-scientific, tongue-in-cheek exposition and field notes.

2015-2016年期间，赵仁辉在圣诞岛上进行自然研究。这座位于印度洋中的火山岛屿，由于地理上的隔绝，造成了该地区独特的生物多样性现象。圣诞岛曾为新加坡英属海峡殖民地的一部分，现为澳大利亚的海外领地。
The artist conducted a research residency on Christmas Island between 2015-2016. A small volcanic outcrop in the Indian Ocean, the island’s geographic isolation has resulted in its endemic biodiversity. Once part of the Crown Colony of Singapore, the island is now an External Territory of Australia.

圣诞岛最为奇特的景观是红螃蟹一年一度的从陆地到海洋的繁殖迁徙，其间，数百万“红色军团”占领岛屿，所有往来车辆都要慢行让路。
Christmas Island is best known for its annual breeding migration of red land crabs from land to the sea, during which millions of bright red crustaceans overtake the island and all vehicular activity grinds to a halt.

Last Cat On Christmas Island 圣诞岛上的最后一只猫, 2016
5 pcs, each 40cmX 60cm | Matt Diasec in black frame | Detail 局部
磷酸盐开采业是岛上的主要产业，始于十九世纪后期，随之而来，由人类定居者带来的入侵物种日益影响到岛上脆弱的生态平衡，造成多种本土物种灭绝。缺少天敌的原生生物逐渐沦为当地生物链的低端，就连外来物种猫也对其造成威胁，因此全岛范围内对猫的捕杀也成为一项生态保护工作。
Phosphate mining, the island’s main industry, began in the late nineteenth century, and invasive species brought over by human settlers have tipped the scales of the island’s fragile ecological balance, driving multiple native species to extinction and threatening others. Conservation efforts include an island-wide culling of non-native cats, to which the island’s native fauna had fallen easy prey.

90x80x50cm | Installation | Wood, Resin
《纪念圣诞岛上的最后一只猫》（2016），由固定的支架和一个树脂做的猫骨架组成，精致的木制结构似乎掩饰了它作为野生猫捕捉器的致命功能。
The elegant wooden form of Memorial to the Last Cat on Christmas Island (2016) belies its lethal function as a feral cat trap, indicated by its pointed installation together with a resin cat skeleton.
