Borrowing its title from an eponymous piece by Elsie Yi Shen, ‘The Yellow Ones are Mine’ explores aesthetic strategies and conceptual bridges employed to transform and reclaim bodies, objects, mediums, thought-figures and processes. Through grasping gaze and alchemistic power, each of the works in the exhibition executes a conceptual transformation, from the extraction of commonplace objects and phrases, to the manipulation of images of the corporeal, from time-based painting of geometric colour fields, to performative selection of all the yellow balloons and painting the remaining ones as an act of conceptual appropriation.
Curated by Garcia Frankowski, the forty seventh international exhibition presents photography, artifacts, and painting to dissect the processes of accumulation, repetition, transformation and documentation inherent to the production and realization of everyday (or non-everyday) projects, as everything is transformed, reticulated and painted in order to declare ‘The Yellow Ones are Mine’.
借用沈怡的同名作品,《黄颜色的是我的》探讨美学策略和观念桥梁
策展人 Garcia Frankowski,这第47个展览将展示摄影,物件,绘画来探讨积累,重复的过程,转换和记录等存在于平凡日常生活中的制造和完成。所有的东西都被转化,被编织,被涂写,从而来宣称 “黄颜色的是我的”。

Outsourcing as an imitation of life
AMNUA INTERNATIONAL PROJECT-IN | OUT SOURCE opening commences December 10th and closes January 20th, 2015, in AMNUA
As one of the fastest growing contemporary art museums in China, Art Museum of Nanjing University of the Arts (AMNUA) proudly presents International Project – In|Outsource. It consists of twenty-two international artists with over 150 pieces art-works/productions.
The exhibition premise can be interpreted as many forms of “outsourcing” selected artists make connections with cause and effects of outsourcing – directing perceptions from “out” source and reflects back inward toward the original source (humanity), aimed to the core of desire asking two simple questions: are we extensions of our own goods and services, and collectively, are we outsourcing our everyday lives unbeknownst to ourselves?
The international project appeals to viewers in hopes that they might consider their relationship to opulence, with sincerity.

(Da bao)(Takeout) is an attempt to locate a cross-cultural and social dynamic between China and the West, specifically Canada, by focusing on artists who investigate, adapt and instill ideas from abroad into their practices, while appreciating the unavoidable slippages that occur in the transference of ideas from one ethnicity to another. The selected artists explore ironic, metaphoric, humorous and even cynical perspectives on the import and export of people, cultures and ideas.
Culture in general, can be regarded as a system of delivering ideas from one of group of people to another. In this way, (Da bao)(Takeout) addresses the metaphorical concept of delivery and interpretation of cultural identity. Artworks from both countries challenge and play with the different cultural conventions and restrictions that exist between East and West.
The seventeen artists in this exhibition are a mix of second-generation or third-generation Chinese-Canadians, Chinese who have travelled abroad to study art, and Canadians who have travelled to China for residencies or exhibitions. They share the experience of being “taken out” of familiar contexts and encountering a strikingly different culture. While their individual voices each occupy a unique position, collectively, they speak to issues of cultural transference, highlighting the gaps, distances and misunderstandings inherent in communication across cultural divides.

电子出版物 make8elieve 首刊《恐龙》问世了, 我的录像作品 《Hunt觅》收入此刊,观看需要翻墙。
MAKE8ELIEVE is an online magazine, born of a collaboration between two artists, Michelle Marie Murphy (Ohio) and Baptiste Lefebvre (a.k.a. Cetusss) (Switzerland). With MAKE8ELIEVE, we’d like to build international connections by publishing creative interpretations of one topic per issue. We believe we can organize an intelligent, challenging, and well designed magazine with contemporary and unusual topics.
