我們榮幸的宣布，藝術(shù)家丁世偉個(gè)展“破曉”將于2016年7月23日在北京現(xiàn)在畫(huà)廊開(kāi)幕，此次展覽是藝術(shù)家在北京的首次個(gè)展，展覽將持續(xù)至2016年8月31日。

丁世偉在對(duì)符號(hào)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)的整合中，關(guān)注難以言喻的社會(huì)間的沖突與悖論，洞察知識(shí)經(jīng)驗(yàn)中的偏見(jiàn)與習(xí)慣。他作品中所蘊(yùn)藏的暴力與詩(shī)意、宣泄與私語(yǔ)、奔放與細(xì)膩等對(duì)立性的表述構(gòu)建了一個(gè)充斥符號(hào)和象征的悖論博弈現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，同時(shí)折射出藝術(shù)家多元的視角和其復(fù)雜的精神世界。

丁世偉的創(chuàng)作通常以項(xiàng)目的方式展開(kāi)，此次展覽將展出他近年創(chuàng)作的“烏托邦”項(xiàng)目作品，也是去年其上海個(gè)展“西風(fēng)凜”的延續(xù)。本次展覽將著重呈現(xiàn)丁世偉自2013年以來(lái)的三件重要作品，分別是《雙簧》（2013）、《再見(jiàn)，烏托邦》（2014），以及藝術(shù)家根據(jù)展廳創(chuàng)作的一組繪畫(huà)裝置《破曉》（2013-2016）。

所謂“破曉”，意指黎明的第一道曙光，是晨與夜的臨界時(shí)刻。它不僅代表了在一種時(shí)間范疇和狀態(tài)上的改變，而且承載了丁世偉個(gè)人面對(duì)他身處的桎梏與束縛時(shí)所采取的行動(dòng)意圖，也是呈現(xiàn)其對(duì)于藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作和生命意義的態(tài)度。同時(shí)，此展覽是藝術(shù)家在北京的首次個(gè)展。“破曉”，既是一種態(tài)度，也是一種期許。

We are honored to announce that Mr.Ding Shiwei’s solo exhibition Daybreak will open in Beijing Art NowGallery on 23 July, 2016. This first solo exhibition of the artist in Beijingwill last until 31 August, 2016.

By combiningsymbols and experience, Ding Shiwei focuses on social conflicts and paradoxesthat are difficult to express, and sees clearly the prejudice and habits inknowledge and experience. The contrasting expressions in his works -- such asviolence and poem, outpouring and whispering, boldness and subtlety -- havecreated a paradoxical gaming scene full of symbols and metaphors, and reflect thediverse perspectives and complicated mentality of the artist.

Ding Shiwei’s works are usuallyexpressed by projects. In this exhibition he will present his project work Utopia,a follow-up to his solo exhibition Disparate Illusion in Shanghai lastyear. This exhibition will display three major pieces of Ding created after2013, namely Double Act (2013), Goodbye, Utopia (2014) andDaybreak (2013-2016), a set of installation pieces created tailored tothe hall.

Daybreak is the first drop of sunlightof the day, marking the shift of day and night. It does not only representchanges of the time and state, but also indicates Ding’s intention to tacklethe constraint in his life, a display of his attitude towards artistic creationand the meaning of life. This is also the first solo exhibition of the artistin Beijing. Daybreak is an attitude as well as expectation.
