About the Event 关于活动

We are honored to invite the artist Navin Rawanchaikul to have a dialogue with Hsieh Feng-Rong, one of the curators of this exhibition. The conversation between the artist and the curator will lead us to behind-the-scene stories of the artwork as well as the practice of the artist. Through the discussion based on the artwork, we hope to discuss how one could negotiate with others or the society to construct one’s own cultural identity without the interference of stereotypes at a time when increasingly frequent and profound cross-cultural communication is the new normal; meanwhile, how an artist generates creativity from his own locality.

我们很荣幸地邀请到了艺术家阿运•拉挽猜哥与本档展览策展人谢丰嵘一起,进行一场面对面的交流。通过艺术家与策展人之间的交流,本次访谈将为观众呈现分享作品背后发生的故事和艺术家的创作实践。透过基于作品的讨论,我们还将重新思考:在跨文化交往日益频繁的今天,我们可以如何与他人和社会进行协商,突破文化社会刻板印象的标签,获得自己真正的身份认同;在这个过程中,艺术家如何让在地创作富于生命力。

Navin Rawanchaikul (Chiang Mai, Thailand, 1971)

Fly with Me to Another World, 1999, acrylic on canvas, 278 × 810 cm. Courtesy of Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Collection

This large acrylic on canvas work emulates the Thai practice of painting advertisements and billboards. Rawanchaikul's works are the expression of a post-modern aesthetics willing to appropriate any cinematographic, artistic or commercial image and reinterpret it through a new narrative. This huge canvas/poster sets out to tell in a single image the story of Inson Wongsam, who in 1962 undertook a legendary two-year journey from Thailand to Italy on a scooter.

《跟我飞到另一个世界》,1999 年,布面丙烯,278 × 810 厘米

由山德雷托·雷·雷包登戈基金会收藏

这幅巨幅布面丙烯画是对当地电影手绘海报的模仿,抹去了高雅艺术和手工艺之间的界线。作品是一种后现代美学的表达,敢于挪用一切电影、艺术或商业图片,将其重新诠释成一个新叙事。这幅油画兼海报用一幅画面讲述印森·翁沙姆的故事,这位艺术家在1962年开始了一场传奇的旅行,骑着一辆小摩托从泰国前往意大利。

Navin Rawanchaikul is an Indian descent born in Chiang Mai (Thailand) in 1971. He lives and works in Thailand and Japan. Trained as painter, Navin Rawanchaikul is an eclectic artist capable of moving from the role of communicator to that of organizer and entertainer. His projects find their space on the street, on billboards, on means of public transport and in restaurants. Rawanchaikul's art is always site-specific, developed through a wide variety of media, it reflects on the idea of social and artistic community. Through his interventions, the artist seeks collaboration with the local context and the activities that take place in it, involving people for outside the art world.

阿运·拉挽猜哥,印度裔艺术家,1971年出生于泰国清迈,目前生活、工作于泰国和日本两地。拉挽猜哥学油画出身,艺术风格不拘一格,能够自如游走于传播者、组织者和表演者等多重角色之间。街头巷尾、广告牌、交通工具以及餐厅都可以成为他艺术项目的土壤。他总是通过各种媒介进行因地制宜的艺术创作,映射出社会和艺术界的思想观念。他通过艺术作品,融入当地环境和社会活动,让艺术领域以外的人们也能参与到艺术创作之中。
