我们荣幸宣布，阿斯巴甜在应空间的第三次独立项目“布朗库西·甜的模型店”将于2017年7月1日正式开启。展览将以最流行、最便捷、最日常的游击概念店形式亮相，呈现艺术小组最新的绘画与雕塑作品。

此次展览通过重新演绎立体主义理念，借鉴以布朗库西为代表的二十世纪雕塑家的创作，实现阿斯巴甜对于艺术史的反刍和再加工。如果说布朗库西以简化造型的方式试图抵达本质，那么对阿斯巴甜来说，事物的表象即存在的意义与价值，对形式美的追求超越一切。他们的创作往往与主题脱钩，对象也并非自然界的客观存在；他们挪用了布朗库西以及立体主义作品中的几何形状，在画面上塑造图案被复制叠加或动态拖拽后形成轨迹的效果，并佐以糖果渐变色的搭配，唤起人们对于无限延伸的矢量空间截屏状态的日常经验。

We are delighted to announce that “Brancusi·T’s Model Shop”, Aspartime’s third independent project in Ying Space will be opened on July 1st. Designed in the form of a pop-up store of utmost vogue, convenience and dailiness, the exhibition is presenting the latest works of painting and sculpture by the art group.

Aspartime re-digests and re-processes art history through re-interpreting the spirit of Cubism and referring to the works by Brancusi among sculptors from the 20th century. If what Brancusi did is to simplify forms to such a degree that the essence could be reached, for Aspartime on the other hand, the appearance of things speak for the value and significance of themselves, and that its pursuit for the beauty of form always comes to the top. Aspartime’s artistic practice has little to do with themes, neither does it look into the nature for objects existing for real. In the works of this exhibition, Aspartime appropriates geometrical shapes found in the works of Brancusi and Cubist, making an effect of those shapes being duplicated, overlaid and dragged into certain trace. Coupled with gradient candy color, the works easily recall daily experience of screen shots of the infinite vector space.

艺术作品惯常的观看方式自然令人乏味，阿斯巴甜运用商业实体店的展陈美学为他们的绘画与雕塑分别打造了更加利于欣赏的展示平台。一边是看似基本而传统的矩形画面，环绕着凭靠在绿植四周，而画面本身实际上没有任何观看角度的限制，甚至将层层叠叠的平面图像用视觉与想象勾连成同一个时空下独立运转的物质也未尝不可；另一边同样被喷上五彩糖果色的雕塑则仿佛替代了商业空间中原本属于限量款设计品的位置。除此之外，阿斯巴甜借助香薰、音效与幻彩颜料催生出迷幻的感官与催眠的情调，令这个白盒子框架下的概念店变得越发似是而非起来。在这个名为布朗库西·甜的模型店里，作品与产品的概念被刻意混淆：泡沫材质的雕塑极具3D打印的效果，绘画更是酷似数码喷绘。在简易的、机械的、临时感的、数字化的表现形式背后却是完全亲身的、手工的精耕细作。认知与现实的反差为在这个“店”中的体验本身调制了趣味。

Fed up with cliché ways of seeing art, Aspartime has designed display platforms with the aesthetics of commercial spaces for the works of painting and sculpture respectively. On one side are a series of rectangular paintings encircling a group of plants. Though seemingly rather ordinary, those paintings are actually free to be viewed from any desired angles. Even, it does no harm envisioning those plane images layer upon layer to be substances operating independently within the same space-time. The sculptures on the other side, painted as well in candy color, are apparently occupying sites of limited-edition design in boutiques. In addition, Aspartime is creating rather dazzling and fantasy atmosphere by means of aroma, sound effect and multicolored paints, which makes such a concept shop under the frame of the white-cube quite ambiguous. In this so-called Brancusi·T’s Model Shop, the identity of artworks and products are confused on purpose: sculptures made in plastic foam resemble the effect of 3D print, while paintings are rather similar to digital printing. However, beneath the surface of simplicity, machinery, temporality and digitization are unexpectedly intensive manual dedication. The contrast of perception versus reality adds spice to the very “shopping” experience.

从最初线上的Update微博计划、Idea淘宝收藏计划，到线下的Idea合作策展项目、GIF壳产品展，再到当下的布朗库西·甜的模型店，阿斯巴甜不断转换着角色，是兼职艺术家、是项目发起者、是设计师、是品牌创始人。不变的是他们对于寻找更完美的艺术作品消费体验形式的研发精神，无时无刻不在思考着艺术如何能够被更好地传播、分享和使用。线上线下的并轨、艺术与商业空间的混淆不构成问题，因为其间的壁垒本不存在。对于现在的阿斯巴甜来说，美好的线下体验所伴随的购买行为也许是一种最稳固的合作状态，体现着生产者与消费者之间爱与被爱的亲密关系。

Starting from on-line Update Weibo Project and Idea Taobao Collection Project to off-line Idea Co-curation Exhibition and GIF Shell Product Show, to the present Brancusi·T’s Model shop, Aspartime is taking on an ever-changing role of part-time artist, project initiator, designer and brand founder. What remains unchanged is its innovative spirit for the better model of art consumption experience, and always on the lookout for a more effective way of transmitting, sharing and making use of art. The conjunction of on-line and off-line, and the mixture of art and commercial space is out of question, for the presupposed barrier in between does not really exist. As for Aspartime at the present moment, a pleasant on-site experience and the purchase behavior that follows might now be the most stable co-op status, as it embodies a rather intimate romantic relationship between the producer and the consumer.
