James J. Valentini, Dean of Columbia College and Vice President for Undergraduate Education, Lydia H. Liu, Wun Tsun Tam Professor in the Humanities, Director of Institute for Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University, and Xu Bing, world renowned artist, and Professor at The Central Academy of Fine Arts, will introduce the artist and his new work.
展览将展出杨宏伟历时三年创作的《象·素分析》系列作品。该作品的整体思路来源于中国传统文化中的活字印刷术,结合当代数字矩阵的核心理念,采用西方传统的木口木刻版画技术语言所构成。以版画与装置的形式对于图像与文字的意义进行了重新阐述。作品充满了趣味性和厚度感,并以此种艺术与象素之间的“对话”延伸出美术史演变的历史性,从一种前所未有的角度表达出版画艺术的当代性特质。
This series of works offers the possibility of expanding the artistic vocabulary of printmaking. Its conception stems from traditional Chinese movable type, draws on wood engraving techniques of the West, and embodies the core idea of digital matrix in the modern era.
象·素分析试图建立一个类似计算机屏幕结构的巨型像素数据库。杨宏伟亲自设计并手工雕刻了超过十万木块,即他口中的“像素模块”,木版的模块大小不一。杨宏伟借助他的雕刻工具,将每个像素模块的灰度值设置在99到1,并通过组合各像素模块以实现其图像制作的目的。各模块的组合能产生千变万化的图像。
Pixel Analysis attempts to establish a gigantic pixel database that would resemble the screen structure of the computer. Yang Hongwei designed and carved over a hundred thousand wood pieces by hand, which he terms “pixel modules”. The modules are woodblocks of varying sizes. Using his engraver’s tool, Yang carved each pixel module to a grayscale of 99 to 1 and assembled them for the purpose of image making. The combinations of modules can produce a kaleidoscope of images.
