《夜巡》 兰基物业艺术小组
2017.12.15 - 2018.02.28

箭厂空间荣幸地展出《夜巡》,这是新近成立的兰基物业艺术小组一次重塑性的创造行动。在这件新的装置中,箭厂空间之前隐藏在移动墙后面的不便之物全部被暴露于外,所有的物品经重新分组之后,突出了其中的几何质感,略显刻意的的摆放方式也试图引起物品之间的相互关注。全部物品占据了整个黑暗的空间,只有两盏手电的强光持续地从一边到另一边扫视着房间,交错移动的光柱使人联想到安保人员的夜间巡逻,逐次扫视,但不一定看见。

展览名称《夜巡》引自荷兰画家伦勃朗1642年的同名不朽之作,作品刻画了胜利之后继续前行的盛装民兵团体。伦勃朗的油画以其对光影的杰出运用和对运动的革新洞察力而闻名于世,但这幅画在当时也因赞助人的极度不满而最终导致伦勃朗的身败名裂和破产,以此也标志着荷兰绘画黄金时代的衰退。

兰基物业艺术小组成立于2017年,此展览为他们的首度合作。

The Night Watch by Lanji Property Management Art Collective
2017.12.15 - 2018.02.28

Arrow Factory is very pleased to present The Night Watch, an act of creative repurposing by the newly formed Lanji Property Management Art Collective. In this new installation, all of the unwieldy contents of the Arrow Factory space, formerly hidden behind an austere white wall, are now exposed en masse to all. Re-organizing the items into specific groupings, the composition highlights the formal qualities of the contents and their careful placement draws attention to the objects’ relationship to each other. While the items occupy the unlit space, makeshift searchlights scan the room endlessly from one side to another, a continuous drift reminiscent of security guards making their rounds at night – scanning, but not necessarily seeing.

The title, The Night Watch references Rembrandt's monumental 1642 painting of the same name depicting a decorated militia group moving on after a victory. Rembrandt's work is best known for its use of light, shadow and an innovative perception of motion. The painting is also known for generating a highly unfavorable reaction from the public, leading to Rembrandt’s eventual downfall and bankruptcy, as well as signaling the downturn of the Dutch Golden Age of painting.

The Lanji Property Management Company Art Collective (兰基物业艺术小组) formed in 2017. This is their first official collaboration.
