About the Event 关于活动

The Rockbund Art Museum is proud to invite Wen Pulin, a prominent Chinese art critic, and Xu Tiantian, Curator Manager of RAM, to discuss the performance art of the Belgian artist Francis Alÿs and deconstruct how Francis Alÿs involves human’s body in his creation. The two speakers will also share with the audience the development of performance art in China, for which Wen Pulin will present valuable records of performance art practices of China’s whole art community since the 1980s. By comparing the practices of Francis and Chinese artists performed in different contexts, realities, geographic locations and languages, the speakers will provide a unique perspective on the performance art in the 1990s.

本次讲座我们非常荣幸地请到了著名艺术评论家温普林与上海外滩美术馆策展主管徐天天来共同探讨艺术家弗朗西斯·埃利斯的行为艺术以及行为艺术在中国的脉络与历史,深入了解艺术家弗朗西斯·埃利斯如何将身体作为一种语言带入艺术作品中。本场讲座亮点之一在于温普林将带我们领略整个中国艺术界从80、90年代至今的中国行为艺术遗留珍贵样本;针对不同的语境,不同的现实,两种背景下的行为艺术将在同一空间做一场历史性的对话,消解地域与语言的隔阂,为公众带来一场有关90年代行为艺术的独特体验。
