Preface

Qin Feng is a globally influential Chinese artist, best known as a pioneer and representative of “post-modern new ink”. He is rooted in both ancient Asian and contemporary world culture, captures the artistic soul in his seemingly improvised creations comprising elements like images, words and symbols. Implanting Chinese calligraphy into western abstraction, Qin Feng has developed a one-of-the-kind art language that is inclusive and refined. In the West Wind and East Water series, the mountains and cliffs arranged per Taoism are rendered as mysterious abstract patterns. In the Angry Angels series, the possibilities of ink are exhaustively explored - simplified vertical lines fill up the whole works, creating a space of tension.Bruce Beasley is a master sculpture, a “classical modernist” recognized over four decades in the U.S. and Europe for his expressive language of geometric shapes carefully calibrated in space. He is among the most inventive artists working in contemporary western sculpture over the last forty years. Early in 1960s, when Beasley was just a student, he was selected for the historically significant Art of Assemblage show, joining masters like Picasso, Duchamp and Willem De Kooning, who were also included. In the 1970s, he revolutionized both the art and the science communities by inventing a method for casting large, clear acrylic abstract sculptures, like the critically acclaimed Apolymon. By the 1980s Beasley had distilled the evocative and poetic geometric sculptures for which he is now well known, and also pioneered 3D technology as a legitimate creative tool for sculptural modeling. On view are examples from two of his most recent and revolutionary 3D-assisted works, the Coriolis and Torqueri series. In these works, the artist’s hand per se is not involved in the initial stages of a work’s creation, as Beasley digitally imagines and plays with shapes in cyber space, letting the computer try out and execute his ideas as he reaches the perfect spatial expression.. Inspiring collisions and fusions between eastern and western art can be expected here.

布鲁斯·比斯利&秦风对话展

策展人：粟多壮、玛琳娜·唐纳修

学术主持：彭锋

主办单位：北京当代艺术馆

前言

秦风是一位颇具影响力的中国“后现代新水墨”艺术家。他在当代世界文化的语境中，将图像、文字、符号等元素通过一种看似是即兴创作，又融入富有灵魂的景观的艺术手法来呈现。他惯用庞大而优美的笔触结合中国传统书法和西方抽象表现主义艺术。如“西水东风”系列，用阴阳手法表现的连绵山川、峭壁悬崖，在视觉错落中迅速演变为神秘莫测的黑色抽象图案。而“愤怒的天使”系列又探索了水墨画的其他可能性，整个空间被充满张力、垂直并列的简化线条掌控，未观其形，已现其势。布鲁斯·比斯利是一位活跃在当代西方艺术史上的美国“古典现代主义”雕塑大师，堪称当代西方雕塑界最具创新精神的艺术家。早在上世纪80年代，比斯利就将3D立体空间设计程序引入雕塑建模领域。此次展出的“科里奥利”（Coriolis）、“扭”（Torqueri）两个系列作品，是布鲁斯·比斯利迄今为止最大胆的3D打印技术辅助创作。制作雕塑的全过程，从构思到造型，再到各种参数的计算与执行，艺术家本人一直“袖手”，全部通过计算机完成。在此，中国当代艺术与世界文化共呼吸，同律动，互辉互映，相融相生
