PSA与香奈儿文化基金邀请电影导演、视觉艺术家杨圆圆在半年间跟随获选两组“新文化制作人”的脚步,深入手艺现场拍摄《手艺再兴》两个展览的同名纪录片。
《狂人之丘》回到东西方哲学的源头,强调手艺作为一种认知和“看见”的能力。冯立星、吴有以展览记录下11位艺术家“日常劳作”的过程,观察他们如何用“手艺”将身体与物质世界连接,最终却呈现出一种高强度的、反效率的、质朴的“疯狂”。《回到未来:穿越时代的屏障》则在文明的更迭导致手艺终究失落的今天,主张拨开“手艺”形式上的面纱,将其重置于一整套友好、克制的生产体系中进行探讨,在尝试拾回人与自然联结共情的方法的同时,摸索手艺背后的造物观念及精神遗产在当代生产和生活中的应用。
观众将随着杨圆圆的镜头潜入艺术家工作室,在“狂人之丘”中以微距观察“时间”如何在反复的涂抹、穿透与拼贴中消失,又是如何从“手”与作品的精神共生中重新以“艺”显形;他们也会走进安徽碧山乡民们的聚落与作坊,从红纸包作坊到竹编作坊,从昔日的村民供销社到今日的碧山工销社,在当地居民的日常生活之中,抢救性寻访乡土与传统手艺的现代之路。
PSA and the CHANEL Culture Fund invited film director and visual artist YANG Yuanyuan to follow the footsteps of the two selected groups of “Next Cultural Producers” over the past six months, diving into numerous crafting scenes to film Art of Craft, a documentary of the same name that will be screened at PSA simultaneously with the exhibitions.
Tracing the origin of “craft” in Eastern and Western philosophy, Hill of the Madman endorses the idea of crafting as the ability to “know” and to “see”. Through the exhibition, FENG Lixing and WU You gaze upon crafting of 11 artists as both a daily routine and a “non-productive” way of connecting their bodies with material world, and eventually present a collection of subtle yet highly intensified artworks that could be perceived as “madness”. In a time when modern civilization has led to the eventual sorrow of handicrafts, Back to the Future: Breaking the Time Barrier proposes to examine “crafts” within the framework of a friendly yet restrained production system. By doing so, the exhibition attempts to re-embrace a method through which man and nature bond and empathize with each other and explore how the healthy concepts of making and the spiritual heritage of traditional crafts could be applied in contemporary manufacturing and modern life.
Through Yang’s lens, the audience will be able to step into artist studios that contributed to Hill of the Madman, and, in an up-close manner, observe how time is lost through repeated scribbling, penetrating and collaging, and how it is “reshaped” through art amid the spiritual harmonization between “hand” and “craft”. They will also be able to visit communities and workshops in Anhui’s Bishan Village – from red envelop workshop to bamboo weaving workshop, and from former supply and marketing cooperative to today’s Bishan Crafts Cooperatives, they will walk the modern and rescuing journey of rural and traditional crafts via the daily routine of local residents.
