完全领会David Shrigley在Hayward画廊的Brain Activity(脑活力) 秀展,你需要停止对当代艺术不允许明快、有趣、些许敷衍的所有期许。

Shrigley曾是一名报社漫画家,同时又是一名成功的艺术家,Hayward不但展示了其绘画作品,他也有照片、雕塑、油画、动画、装置以及大量动物标本。有时,这是一种黑色幽默,有时荒谬,有时是纯白痴。事实上,评论过他秀展的记者们和批评家不是完全陷入狂喜,就是question(质疑)他做的是不是艺术。

阅读了秀展简介后我意识到,在我参观期间我错过了“艺术家个人囤积的脚指甲”,我很高兴我错过了。但是当我看到露台上大大的“LOOK AT THIS(看这儿)”标志后我确实微笑了,一只硕鼠的尸体被放在地上,如果你不往下看的话就永远不会发现。一只狗标本用它的后腿站立着,挥舞着它确实已经死亡的信息。一列靴子看似出自一部卡通片,有着随意构勒的轮廓,等等。粗糙、直接、振奋。Brain Activity(脑活力) 给我的一天带来简洁有力的插曲,我希望以下的图片也会让你快乐:
