巨物移动，身体失重 as mountain, as feather

inner flow Gallery将于2024年5月4日推出群展「巨物移动，身体失重」。此次展览将把画廊的建筑结构视为一个整体，呈现包蓉、胡佳艺、金佳辰、李泽韬、王婧、谢堃、周皞、张婕、赵宇共9位艺术家的作品。展览模拟一种面对无法撼动的巨大体系所产生的思维幻觉，和肉身对抗自然规律带来的极端生理反应。希望通过9位艺术家的创作和思考，触发我们本能层面最原初的感受。本次展览由陈羽丰策划，将于五四青年节开幕。

inner flow Gallery presents the group exhibition: as Mountain, as Feather, launching on May 4, 2024. The exhibition considers the gallery’s architectural structure as a unified whole, showcasing works by Bao Rong, Hu Jiayi, Jin Jiachen, Li Zetao, Wang Jing, Xie Kun, Zhou Hao, Zhang Jie, and Zhao Yu. It stimulates a mental illusion that arises from facing an unyielding massive system and the extreme physiological response to challenging natural laws. Through the works and reflections of nine artists, it aims to evoke our most primal instincts. Curated by Chen Yufeng, the exhibition coincides with China’s Youth Day.

巨物移动 as mountain

这个巨大的沉默物体有很多面目和潜在形态，它会在既定的时刻展现出其中一面，又在另一时刻显现出隐藏面，无人能站在一个全然开阔的视角看到这个神秘生物的全貌。它只是静止地伫立在原地，却让人感觉到匀速逼近的压迫感，奇妙、诱人、充满危险，如沼泽坍缩。

This colossal, silent entity wears many faces and latent forms, revealing one at a time and hiding another in the next moment. No one can stand from an all-encompassing perspective to behold this mysterious creature in its entirety. It stands motionless, exuding a sense of steadily encroaching pressure that is marvellous, enticing, and fraught with danger, akin to the collapse of a swamp.

身体失重 as feather

飞机行进在一条闪着微光的隧道里，长时间的黑暗使他的视线和意识变得模糊，无效的抵抗只能让他选择放弃控制，精神主体像困兽般需要去应付那些陌生的情绪。瞬间的一场颠簸让他重新感受到了身体，如清醒梦，他意识到赤裸的灵魂从被让渡的肉身中分离出来，从和谐回归到了混乱。

The aircraft moves through a dimly lit tunnel, prolonged darkness blurring vision and consciousness. Ineffectual resistance forces the surrender of control, and the spiritual essence contends with unfamiliar emotions like a caged animal. A momentary jolt reconnects with the body, resembling a lucid dream and revealing the separation of the naked soul from relinquished flesh, returning from harmony to chaos.

故事由此开始……

The story unfolds…

“巨物”所指代的突兀视觉奇观常常在科幻电影中作为超自然的造物出现，体现出一种携带恐怖气息的崇高之美，当下的技术加速、生产过剩、激素泛滥，同样也催生出许多寓言式的新巨物。我们沉浸在这些被怪诞填充的现实中，人类固有的动物性开始蜷缩。在注意力高度集中的一个出神状态中，精神以一种“失重”的方式抽离出来，压抑的内在情感试图挣脱肉身寻求超越性的维度，用迷狂的激情直视恐惧和惨淡。

对待“新异化”和“赤裸生命”的态度决定了当下社会的样貌，而穿梭于这复杂结构中的艺术家亦成为衡量和批判社会思想的重要指标。作为个体的艺术家固然不能以全知者的视角俯瞰全貌，但珍贵的是，他们能用经验和直觉的方式突破原有叙事，剖析和审判。

The reference to “mountain” often evokes a supernatural presence in science fiction films, embodying a sublime beauty tinged with terror. The rapid pace of technological advancement, overproduction, and rampant hormonal proliferation has given birth to many fable-like mountains. Immersed in this surreal reality, humanity’s innate animalistic instincts begin to contract. During intense focus, the mind detaches in a “feather-like” manner as suppressed inner emotions strive to transcend the physical realm, confronting fear and desolation with frenzied passion.

The attitude towards “new alienation” and “bare life” shapes the current social landscape, with artists navigating this complex terrain becoming vital benchmarks for societal critique. While individual artists cannot claim total omniscience, they possess the ability to break through conventional narratives, analysing and critiquing society through experience and intuition.

胡佳艺 Hu Jiayi

1993年生于新疆吐鲁番。她的作品所使用的材料或者说她的行动，非常自然、真诚，带有强烈的直觉，她通过行为、影像、摄影、装置、绘画等媒介进入日常社会的不同领域。作为个体的胡佳艺常被人用不善言辞、冷酷等词汇来形容，作为女性，她身上从未贴上过柔弱的标签，这与她的作品所呈现出来的力量有直接关系。

胡佳艺的作品曾在美国、欧洲和亚洲等各地展出，她的近期展览包括：铁蒺藜，胡佳艺个展，澳门牛房仓库，澳门，2023；Living in the New Century：1989年以来的中国媒体艺术，Ulsan美术馆，蔚山，韩国，2022；美好生活，上海外滩美术馆，上海，中国，2022；未名河，三影堂艺术中心，北京，中国，2022；水体-上海双年展，上海当代艺术博物馆，上海，中国，2021；开放的身体媒介牛房仓库，澳门，2021；亲密，威尼斯利奥凡提电影节，意大利，2020；本色出演，奕来画廊，美国，2019。胡佳艺曾获2015年、2018年两届罗中立奖学金；第七届新星星艺术节新星星奖，新星星十周年青年艺术奖；SAYA菁英国际青年艺术家计划2016年度成都当代美术馆特别奖；2018年约翰莫尔绘画奖入围；2021年华宇青年奖入围。胡佳艺于2015年受邀参加上海喜马拉雅美术馆与韩国光州市立美术馆主办的驻留项目，在韩国驻地创作；2017年参加501序空间与英国曼彻斯特华人艺术中心主办的驻留项目，并于英国举办展览。2023年受邀参加澳门牛房仓库的驻留项目。

Born in Turpan, Xinjiang in 1993, Hu Jiayi’s work, whether through materials or actions, is characterized by its naturalness, sincerity, and strong intuition. She explores various domains of daily society through mediums such as performance, imagery, photography, installation, and painting. As an individual, Hu Jia Yi is often described with terms like ineloquent and cruel. As a woman, she has never been associated with labels of weakness, a direct reflection of the power conveyed in her work.

Hu Jiayi’s works have been exhibited in various locations across the United States, Europe, and Asia. Recent exhibitions include “Caltrops”, Solo Exhibition by Hu Jiayi”, Ox Warehouse, Macau, 2023; “Living in the New Century: Chinese Media Art Since 1989”, Ulsan Museum of Art, Ulsan, South Korea, 2022; “The Good Life”, Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, China, 2022; “Unnamed River”, Three Shadows Photography Art Centre, Beijing, China, 2022; “Bodies of Water – Shanghai Biennale”, Power Station of Art, Shanghai, China, 2021; “Open Body Media”, Ox Warehouse, Macau, 2021; “INTIMACY”, Venice Leofanti Film Festival, Italy, 2020; “Becoming – Experimental” Video Works, Eli Klein Gallery, New York, America, 2019.

李泽韬 Li Zetao

1997年出生于湖南长沙，2019年毕业于四川美术学院油画系获学士学位，2022年毕业于四川美术学院油画系获硕士学位，现工作生活于重庆。他近期的研究主要从一种“精疲力竭”的症状入手，通过处理相关的场景和事物，试图明晰这一症状背后的原因：是惩罚机制，还是奖励机制？是系统的规训，还是绩效的考核？这个社会让人产生一种精疲力竭的状态，会一直循环吗？在某种状态下能停止吗？近期展览包括：折叠·覆盖，鸿坤美术馆&绘画艺术坏蛋店，北京，2022；我也在想 What i’m thinking is，OUTSIDER GALLERY，郑州，2023；动态刷新：四川美术学院青年艺术家驻留计划，四川美术学院美术馆，重庆；作品集Ⅱ，ARR GALLERY 杭州，2024

Li Zetao was born in Changsha, Hunan in 1997. He graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute with a bachelor’s degree in 2019 and obtained his master’s degree from the same department in 2022. Currently, he lives and works in Chongqing. His recent research primarily focuses on the symptom of “exhaustion,” aiming to elucidate the underlying causes through the exploration of relevant scenes and objects: is it a punishment mechanism or a reward mechanism? Is it the result of systemic discipline or performance assessment? Does society perpetuate a state of exhaustion in individuals, and is it possible to break this cycle under certain circumstances?

Recent exhibitions include: “Folding·Covering”, Hongkun Museum of Fine Art & Painting Art Villain Store, Beijing, 2022; “What I’m Thinking Is”, OUTSIDER GALLERY, Zhengzhou, 2023;”Dynamic Refresh”, Art Museum of SCFAI, Chongqing, 2023; “Portfolio II”， ARR GALLERY, Hangzhou, 2024

王婧 Wang Jing

1996年出生于山西。2018年本科毕业于四川美术学院，2022年研究生毕业于中央美术学院，现工作生活于重庆。作品通常以自然为基础，同时开启对生活与诗歌的第二次觉察。截取朦胧的感受与断片式的瞬时记忆，并与情感勾连，不止于图式与色彩。而脱离于形象之外的的细微线条和色块锋利地形成难以定义的抽象形式。尝试以自身的私密视角触及非理性的深处，延长着极度日常状态中的复杂思绪。

近期展览包括：田野笔记field notes，新氧艺O2ART，北京，中国，2024；不太纯粹理性批判，SIMULACRA拟像，北京，2023；献给阿尔吉侬的花束，ARCH GALLERY拱形画廊，长沙，2023；动态刷新——四川美术学院青年艺术家驻留汇报展，四川美术学院美术馆，重庆，2023；罗中立奖学金，芒果美术馆，长沙；青年艺术100，嘉德艺术中心，北京，2022；第五届中国青年版画展，中国版画博物馆，深圳，2019

Wang Jing was born in Shanxi in 1996. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2018 and completed her master’s degree at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2022. Now she lives and works in Chongqing. Her works typically revolve around nature as a foundation while simultaneously embarking on a second awareness of life and poetry. She captures hazy feelings and fragmented instantaneous memories, intertwining them with emotions that go beyond mere forms and colours. The subtle lines and blocks of colour outside of imagery sharply form indefinable abstract forms. Through her intimate perspective, she endeavours to touch the depths of irrationality, prolonging complex thoughts within extreme daily states.

Recent exhibitions include: “2024 Field Notes”, O2art Space, Beijing, China, 2024; “Critique of Not-so-pure Reason” at SIMULACRA, Beijing, 2023; “Flower for Algernon” at ARCH GALLERY, Changsha, 2023; “Dynamic Refresh”, Art Museum of SCFAI, Chongqing, 2023; “Luo Zhongli Scholarship”, Mango Art Museum, Changsha; “ART NOVA 100”, Guardian Art Center, Beijing, 2022; “The Fifth China Youth Prints Exhibition” at the China Printmaking Museum, Shenzhen, 2019

谢堃 Xie Kun

1989生于河北，2007年毕业于中央美术学院附中，2011年毕业于中央美术学院获学士学位，2016年毕业于中央美术学院获硕士学位，现工作生活于北京。她的作品擅长用不同媒介反思固化印象对人个人身份的塑造。作品的力量一部分来自于尺寸与颜色的不协调，一部分来自于解构重组日常平庸所带来的荒诞感和诱惑感。谢堃的作品在抓得住的现实与另一个幻想与象征的世界徘徊。呈现出一种自我消亡的象征。作品展览于威尼斯军械库、俄罗斯民族文化宫、中国美术馆、太庙、特拉华当代艺术馆等艺术机构。作品被白兔美术馆，湖北美术馆，中央美术学院美术馆等多个机构和个人收藏。

个展包括：你说的都对，叁拾空间，北京，2022；尼采说的超人，悦美术馆，北京，2022；Non-existence，Take Ninagawa，东京，2018；让我们说说话吧，站台中国droom，北京，2017；重要群展包括：永昼，美成空间，深圳，2024；捕捉，站台中国，北京，2023；语言之蛊惑，槐轩，北京，2023；洛德世界2，野松画廊，深圳，2022；我与我的赋格曲，艺术仓库当代艺术中心，重庆，2022；不一定，幻艺术中心，北京，2021；开人器，爱慕美术馆，北京，2021；青年艺术图景， HARVEY GALLERIES，悉尼，2019；间隙，特拉华当代艺术馆，美国特拉华，2019；拉古纳国际艺术奖，军械库，意大利威尼斯，2019；何论东西，湖北美术馆，武汉，2017；走出牡丹亭，俄罗斯民族文化宫，俄罗斯圣彼得堡，2016；2017年获得威尼斯拉古纳国际艺术奖。14年获韩国E.LAND奖。2018获得桃葡湾最具人气艺术家奖。

Xie Kun was born in Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province in 1989.

In 2016, she completed her Master of Fine Arts degree from the same institution. She is currently based in Beijing.

She’s skilled in painting and creating image installations, using various mediums to explore the formation of personal identity and solidify impressions. The power of the work comes partly from the mismatch between size and colour, and partly from the absurdity and temptation brought about by deconstructing and reconstructing everyday mediocrity. Xie Kun’s works wander between the reality that can be grasped and another world of fantasy and symbolism, presenting a symbol of self-extinction.

The works are exhibited at art institutions such as the Venice Armory, the Russian National Culture Palace, the Chinese Art Museum, the Temple of Supreme Harmony, and the Delaware Museum of Contemporary Art. Multiple works have been collected by institutions and individuals such as the White Rabbit Art Museum, Hubei Art Museum, and the Central Academy of Fine Arts Art Museum.

She currently lives and works in Chongqing. Zhang Jie’s artworks primarily focus on figurative painting, exploring the relationship between figurative painting and emotional expression through the refinement of everyday life fragments. Her works are filled with varying degrees of emotions, which she solidifies and preserves through the traces of painting, with the authentic and effective expression of emotions typically being the goal of her artwork.

Recent exhibitions include: “Terminal”, Radius Gallery, Xi’an, 2023; “In the Twinkling of an Eye”, STArtz’Gallery, Guiyang, 2023; “YAM Open Exhibition” at YellowBox Art Museum, Qingdao, 2021; “100 Meters above the Ground”, Beijing, 2021; “ZouCao”, Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Chongqing, 2019; “Annual Exhibition of the Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute”, CAEA Art Museum, Chongqing, 2020; “Reef”, Chinese Contemporary Art Museum, Chongqing, 2018; “Fresh Trend”, Hong Kong City Hall, Hong Kong, 2016; In 2021, her graduation work “Body Series” won the Porsche Master Scholarship at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, and in 2015, she was nominated for the Literature Library Award at the 22nd Student Works Annual Exhibition of the Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute.

周皞 Zhou Hao

1995年生于陕西西安，2018年毕业于西安美术学院。周皞的创作灵感大多来源于生活，作品中蕴含着幽默、诙谐及自嘲来表达艺术家对世界认识，呈现他对社会、政治、文化和人性问题的思考。绘画是一种传播媒介，链接着周皞与世界、与观众的关系。他擅长通过描绘简单直接的画面直击问题的本质，哪怕是一些丑陋肮脏的现象，在艺术家的画作中也展现了它们充满趣味的讽刺视角，从而引发观众对现实问题的关注。近期展览包括：玩偶之家，hiart space，北京，2024；油罐里的12幅画，油罐艺术公园，上海，2022

Born in Xi’an, Shaanxi in 1995, Zhou Hao graduated from Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts in 2018. Zhou Hao’s creative inspiration largely stems from life, imbuing his works with humour, wit, and self-deprecation to express the artist’s understanding of the world, showcasing his reflections on social, political, cultural, and human issues. Painting serves as the media, linking Zhou Hao with the world and the audience. He excels at directly addressing the essence of issues through depicting simple and straightforward images, even portraying some ugly and dirty phenomena with an intriguingly satirical perspective in his artworks, thereby arousing the audience’s attention to real-life issues.Recent exhibitions include: “Doll House”, hiart Space, Beijing, 2024; “12 Paintings in Tank”, Tank No. 1, Shanghai, 2022

赵宇 Zhao Yu

1993年出生于云南，现工作生活于重庆。分别于2020年和2017年在四川美术学院油画系取得了硕士以及学士学位。赵宇的作品倚重图像及其内在的语义。一方面，这些图像脱离了原有语境，图像与图像之间出现了一种错位感、断裂感，于是，一种分散的、非线性的叙事开始出现。另一方面，图像的形状成为画面视觉结构的重要因素，因为并置、解构手法的使用，使其打破单一的视觉与空间关系。赵宇曾入选多个绘画奖项以及艺术家驻留项目，包括2018年参加荷兰阿姆斯特丹 “记忆三角洲”青年艺术家驻留项目，2020年四川美术学院驻留项目，2023年华泰青年艺术家驻留项目等。

Painting as Zhao Yu’s main form of use, the pictures on the canvas are always constructed as specific, spatial scenes, the images are “placed into” them afterwards. Through the accumulation of pigments, overlapping images, and the strange shapes arranged in the picture, he carries out his visual practice and exploration and also describes his observation and imagination of reality.

He was awarded the Luo Zhongli Scholarship, 2020; National Scholarship, 2019; The first prize of the first Chongqing Oil Painting Biennale, 2018, etc.
