如果你在伦敦,请不要错过Hayward画廊的Martin Creed: What’s the point of it? (意义是……?)。这是一场视觉盛宴,充满娱乐性,如果你想的话,甚至不需要大脑思考。事实上,我认为这是为那些无法忍受“当代”与“艺术”两个词同时出现的人们所准备的当代艺术。但别太较真这句话,我从未试图把一个当代艺术厌恶者带到曾以Work No 227: The Lights Going On and Off(作品227号:灯开灯关)夺得特纳奖的艺术家回顾展上,这个装置在一个空空的画廊里,每五秒开启或关闭灯光。

同样,我对Martin Creed也并非毫无偏袒。我爱他的作品。即使是“Sick Films(病态电影)”,人们进入到一个空空如也的白色空间,开始vomit (呕吐)在地上,嘲讽的neon(霓虹灯)信号、仙人掌类植物按大小整齐地摆放着。“我爱”他的作品。

“意义是…..?”的目的并非简单地集合Creed的代表作,而是提供一个多感官体验。以下两件作品将简要展示……

单词MOTHERS(妈妈们)在你进入画廊的第一时间就冲击到了你。你本能地闪避,因为这6个巨大地霓虹字母灯慢慢地gyrate(旋转),占据了整个空间。有趣又有些来势汹汹。我在想,Hayward怎么没有大声地说着“健康与安全,无编号”。与此同时,39个节拍器在地上整齐摆放,以不同速度轻击着地板。

上图这一小小的玻璃房被7000个气球填满。我有幽闭恐惧症。即便是这个装置的标题“作品200号。一半的空气被封闭在既定空间”,也让我喘不上气。

该展览也是场视觉派对:欢快浩大的作品背景墙,Creed用油漆、条纹胶带,甚至小椰菜线条印花覆盖了整个墙面。

现场也有“病态电影”与“屎影”系列的视频。作品660号展现的,更像是优雅而非一个完完全全自在的年轻女性走进框架内,在白色画廊的中央拉屎。

我希望能够找到“病态电影”的在线视频系列。我对拉屎系列不太感兴趣,但是呕吐系列却让人着迷。有些人大大方方地吐了起来,其余的struggle (尽力地)去吐,最终放弃了。“生活”,艺术家explains (解释)说,“是试图产出于你的过程……包括大便与疾病以及恐怖的感受。恐怖感受的问题在于你无法描绘他们。但可怕的呕吐——你可以拍摄。”

Hayward露台上的上下勃起。Creed已将作品拓展至通常的画廊空间外:露台上、浴室里、皇家节日音乐厅以及Hayward画廊的升降电梯内。

所以该展览的意义是什么?对于这个问题,我猜有着太多的答案。对于我来说,这关乎迷失在感知中,去惊喜、敬畏与厌恶的并存以及走出这个展览后留存许久的快乐。
