施勇个展“将一只（ ）鸟从一座塔的塔顶放掉”将于2018年9月29日在华侨城盒子美术馆开幕。本次展览延续了艺术家2017年于香格纳画廊举办的个展“规则之下”的创作脉络。施勇为本次展览创作了5件颇具侦探小说色彩的综合媒介装置，它们将与“幻觉现实”阶段（2002-2010）的两件代表作以及2015年的个展《让所有的可能都在内部以美好的名义解决》的部分作品共同呈现。

Contemporary artist Shi Yong's solo exhibition, a ( ) bird be released from the top of a certain tower, will be presented at the OCT Boxes Art Museum on September 29, 2018. This exhibition is a continuation of the artist's solo show Under the Rule, which was held at ShanghART Gallery in 2017. This time, Shi Yong created five pieces of mixed-media installations as a detective novel for this exhibition. They will be presented with two major works in the stage of "Illusionary Reality" (2002-2010) and some works in Let All Potential be Internally Resolved using Beautiful Form, 2015.

本次个展“将一只（ ）鸟从一座塔的塔顶放掉”将隐喻与现实做了叠加。两种文本交织在一起从而呈现出艺术家一种向现实主动出击的姿态。展览题目出自博尔赫斯的短篇小说《巴比伦抽签游戏》。施勇援引该语句，并蓄意地在“一只鸟”之间嵌入了一个“（ ）”，从而使得一场原本看似无足轻重的抽签，一件原本稀松平常的事件，因为这个“（ ）” 而使鸟的身份与状态变得悬念重生……

The exhibition a ( ) bird be released from the top of a certain tower combines metaphor with reality - the two texts are intertwined to present the artist's active attitude towards reality. The title of the exhibition comes from Borges' short story The Lottery in Babylon (La lotería en Babilonia). Shi Yong cited this statement and deliberately added a “( )” in between “a bird”, which made a seemingly insignificant lottery, a likely common event to be suspenseful of identity and state of the bird roused by the “( )”......

关于艺术家 About the Artist

施勇 Shi Yong

1963年出生于上海，1984年毕业于上海轻工业高等专科学校美术系。现工作、生活于上海。作为中国较早从事装置与影像媒介的代表人物之一，自1993年起，他的作品就在国内外被广泛展出。他创作媒介包括装置，行为，摄影及录像。施勇的早期创作致力于揭示现实的暧昧性以及系统内部的张力，九十年代末开始集中讨论中国改革开放神话下的当代上海的转型概念，继而引向更宏观的全球化、消费文化等层面，2006年，从作品“2007没有卡塞尔文献展”开始，施勇将质疑的目光最终落在了其所处的艺术界本身，思考如何在创作中传递出一种更为理性的态度。2015年个展“让所有的可能都在内部以美好的形式解决”，既是之前创作的延续，又传达了其未来意图在表面“抽象”之下展开对于“控制”的反思与实践。

Shi Yong was born in Shanghai in 1963. He graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Shanghai Light Industrial School in 1984. He now resides and works in Shanghai. As one of the earliest figures in China engaging in installation and video media, Shi Yong has been exhibited widely since 1993. His creative mediums include installation, behavior, photography and video. Shi Yong's early works were devoted to revealing the ambiguity of reality and the tension within the system. At the end of the 1990s, he began to discuss the concept of transformation in contemporary Shanghai under the legend of China's reform and opening up, and then led to more macroscopic levels of globalization, consumer culture and so on. In 2006, starting from the work Sorry, There Will Be No Documenta in 2007, Shi Yong’s questioning ultimately falls on the art world itself, thinking about how to convey a more rational attitude in creation. His solo exhibition in 2015, Let All Potential be Internally Resolved using Beautiful Form, is not only a continuation of previous creations, also conveys his future intention’s reflection and practice of “control” under the superficial “abstract”.
