Oliver Herring, Action Selection - Shanghai
奥利弗·赫林 OLIVER HERRING
Opening:2015.09.06, 5pm - 7pm
Duration:2015.09.06-2015.11.01
Address:BANK 1/F, 59 Xianggang Lu, Shanghai, China
Opening Hours: Tuesdays to Sundays, 10:30am - 6:30pm
Oliver Herring’s multi-disciplinary, globe-trotting, performative project Areas for Action makes its Shanghai debut at BANK with an on-going, open archive of new, tailor-made work in tandem with video and photo documentation of past events. Through an open call for volunteers in Shanghai Herring will create a situation for creativity in BANK’s Project Space that the volunteers will complete. Using elemental materials such as glitter, tape, body paint, tin foil, and willing participants this NYC-based artist pushes the notion of relational aesthetics towards the anarchic. Volunteers spurt colored liquids at each other, are painted in phosphorescent goop, or become the human core of improvisatory sculptures, turning the space into an artistic battleground where one’s vulnerability is overridden by one’s emancipation. Breaking down the boundaries between audience and author, process and object, Herring’s work often becomes a social experiment or laboratory where modes of representation are hijacked by modes of production. These unscripted investigations probe notions of human behavior, social psychology, and figuration in art with results that are explosive imagery. In conjunction with this exhibition Herring will present a lecture on his participatory practice at the Power Station of the Art on September 4th, 1-4pm. A very special thanks to: Josie Browne for initiating this project, and the Goethe-Institut and Power Station of Art for their support.

奥利弗·赫林跨越媒介和国界的行为艺术项目“行动区域”将首次登陆上海。除了往期录像和照片的记录,本次展览将会带来一系列持续性的、开放 式的、特别定制的新作品记录。通过在上海招募的志愿者,奥利弗·赫林将协志愿者在BANK的项目空间里构建出一个充满创意的场景。这位生活并工 作于纽约的英国艺术家通过使用一系列的生活素材例如金粉、胶带、人体彩绘颜料、锡箔纸,甚至志愿者, 把关系美学推向更少控制的即兴创作。志 愿者们将口吐颜料喷向彼此,他们的身体被闪光的粘液涂绘,或是变成即兴创作的雕塑中的人体核心。展览空间将变为艺术的战场, 人的脆弱性被释放 出的自由所驱使。奥利弗·赫林的作品常常成为社会化的实验室, 打破观众和艺术家之间、过程和成品之间的界限, 艺术中常规的呈现模式被制造模 式所取代。那些不成文的深入调查探究了人类行为学、社会心理学和伴随着强烈冲击性图像结果的诗意性的艺术呈现。作为与本次展览的连接,奥利 弗·赫林将于9月4日1-4pm在上海当代博物馆进行讲座。特别感谢Josie Browne, 歌德学院以及上海当代艺术博物馆对本展览的大力支持。
