庄辉：没戏

2013年5月8日－6月18日

箭厂空间白日里窗上的两块粉蓝交织的天鹅绒幕帘仿佛成为了庄辉新作《没戏》的最佳演绎。每当黄昏降临，幕帘后面频闪灯发出的电掣般的光影开始在窗面上放肆地舞动，将原本安静的两块颜色逐渐演变成神秘而无声的迪斯科光影秀 。《没戏》是一件纯粹的视觉作品，它汲取了本土文化中的色彩和材料，在此试图激发出一种直接的完全来自于身体和内心的感受。

庄辉早期作品中以对叙事和个人历史的独特探索方式而被广为人知。从使用泡沫苯板制作的轧钢厂场景（带钢车间，2003）到历时一年为甘肃玉门居民提供摄影服务的一家小照相馆（玉门，2008-2009），都在作品里探究了记忆与现实、个体与集体所包含的层转关系。而在作品《没题》中，庄辉有意识地回避使用时间和记忆的符号，转而尝试在箭厂的胡同里打造一种无根的、没有历史感的体验。作品题目《没戏》在此也是一个存心而起的词语游戏，就像那些窗上的灯光一样在一件无题的作品和一件没有题目的作品之间来回游荡。

庄辉（1963年出生于甘肃玉门）是一位视觉艺术家，其作品形式主要为摄影与装置。他参加过众多国内外的个展和群展，包括上海双年展（2012），利物浦泰特美术馆的“真实事件”展（2007），广州三年展（2012），也曾在荷兰格罗宁根美术馆（2008）、北京三影堂摄影艺术中心（2009）举办过展览。

Zhuang Hui: Lost Cause

2013.05.08 - 06.18

The shocking pink and blue velour drapes that bifurcate Arrow factory's front window are the daytime manifestations of Zhuang Hui's new work Lost Cause. Each day at dusk strobe lighting behind the curtains comes to life, transforming these static colors into a mysterious, yet silent disco lightshow, causing fleeting shadows to dance sporadically upon the windows. An experiment in pure visual abstraction, Lost Cause distills the colors and materials of vernacular culture to tap into a reaction that is purely physical and visceral.

Zhuang's previous works are notable for their explorations of narrative and personal history. From reproducing factory machinery out of Styrofoam (Factory Floor, 2003) to running a small photo studio in Yumen, Gansu that serviced the local villagers (Yumen, 2008-2009), Zhuang's work delves into the complex layers of memory and nostalgia. In Lost Cause, Zhuang consciously rejects signifiers of time and remembrance to create an experience within Arrow Factory's hutong that is rootless and devoid of historical markers.

Zhuang Hui (b. 1963, Yumen, Gansu) is a visual artist that frequently works with photography and installation. He has participated in solo and group exhibitions in China and abroad, including The 9th Shanghai Biennial (2012), The Real Thing at Tate Modern, Liverpool (2007), the The 4th Guangzhou Trienniale, Guangdong Museum of Art, Guangdong (2012), the Groninger Museum, Groninger (2008), and the Three Shadows Photography Art Center in Beijing (2009).
