X美術(shù)館與前灘太古里合作開設(shè)全新藝術(shù)空間The Pool by X Museum，將于2024年3月22日正式面向公眾開放。本次展覽展出韓國藝術(shù)家金允哲于2024年創(chuàng)作的新作——“色度（Chroma）”系列的第八件。在科學(xué)定義中，“色度”是一項(xiàng)感官性指標(biāo)，它反映著顏色的色調(diào)和飽和度，與亮度共同量化了人類對(duì)于錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的顏色的感知。這一較為生澀的詞匯精準(zhǔn)而銳利地凸顯了該系列作品的科學(xué)辯證和視覺語言。

X Museum is thrilled to announce the opening of ‘The Pool by X Museum’ in Taikoo Li Qiantan Shanghai this March. For this venue’s inaugural show, we will present South Korean artist Yunchul Kim’s new commission ‘Chroma VIII’. The show features the newest edition of the artist’s critically acclaimed Chroma series. ‘Chroma’, in its scientific definition, is a sensory indicator that reflects the hue and saturation of a color, and it quantifies human perception of the intricacies of color together with luminance. This rather nebulous term accurately and sharply captures the scientific methodology and visual language employed by the artist.

《色度VIII》從拓?fù)淇臻g發(fā)展而來，其整體共由234個(gè)單元組成，包含高度透明的層壓聚合物、電機(jī)、微控制器和LED燈等。每個(gè)單元形狀各異，通過對(duì)透明聚合物施加壓力進(jìn)行著微妙的形變運(yùn)動(dòng)。由此，作品單元的動(dòng)態(tài)表面閃爍出虹彩般的光芒，從而呈現(xiàn)出一種全新的體驗(yàn)微觀世界的方式。光與色彩在物質(zhì)性中流動(dòng)，聲音和運(yùn)動(dòng)糾纏在機(jī)械結(jié)構(gòu)中，引發(fā)了超越人類日常感官的體驗(yàn)。

Developed from topology, the body of ‘Chroma VIII’ comprises234 units in total. These units consist of highly transparent laminated polymers, motors, microcontrollers, and LEDs. Each unit has a unique shape and undergoes subtle deformation through applied pressure on the transparent polymer. Consequently, the dynamic surfaces of the work units flicker with iridescent light, providing a novel visual experience. The light and color flowing through the material, sound entwined within mechanical movement, triggering sensory experience beyond daily perception.

作品通過單一部件的無限重復(fù)營造出龐大、炫目、永無止息的觀感，以一種近乎無法忽視的視覺吸引與觀者和空間形成了強(qiáng)烈的共構(gòu)關(guān)系。旋轉(zhuǎn)纏結(jié)的環(huán)狀形態(tài)，無始無終的曲線，作品通過視覺上的無限循環(huán)喚起了宇宙想象。這個(gè)自古以來一直讓我們著迷的迷宮式圖形帶有一種強(qiáng)烈的象征屬性，在人類文化之中反復(fù)出現(xiàn)，從而演變?yōu)橐粋€(gè)成為事件發(fā)生、脈動(dòng)并在時(shí)空之中不斷跨越物質(zhì)的主體。在金允哲的創(chuàng)作過程中，藝術(shù)實(shí)踐和科學(xué)方法共同存在。藝術(shù)家探索著物質(zhì)的潛力，把機(jī)械、材料與人類等視為非始終同一的、非亙古延續(xù)的，而是與環(huán)境一同不斷變化的主體。

Through the repetition of a single unit, the work brings a massive sense of scale dazzling, and perpetually in motion, making the viewer inseparable from the space. The circular, knotted forms, the curves of the structure with no beginning and end, evoke a cosmic imagination through their visual representation. This labyrinthine form, which has fascinated us since ancient times, carries a strong symbolic attribute, recurring in human culture and thus evolving into a subject of events, pulsations, and the transformation of matter through time and space. Artistic practice and scientific methodology come hand in hand in Yunchul Kim’s artistic production. The artist explores the potential of matter, seeing machines, materials, and humans as subjects in constant flux with their environments, rather than never-changing entities existing throughout time.

關(guān)于藝術(shù)家

圖片致謝藝術(shù)家金允哲（Yunchul Kim）

金允哲（Yunchul Kim，1970年生于韓國首爾） 現(xiàn)工作和生活于韓國首爾，同時(shí)也在國際范圍內(nèi)活躍。藝術(shù)家曾獲得多個(gè)國際獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，包括2016年歐洲核子研究中心（CERN）的碰撞國際大獎(jiǎng)、電子藝術(shù)大獎(jiǎng)（Ars Electronica）和VIDA 15.0三等獎(jiǎng)等獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。他也曾在世界多地舉辦個(gè)展，包括第59屆威尼斯雙年展韓國館（意大利）、CCCB（西班牙）、FACT利物浦（英國）、奧地利電子藝術(shù)中心（奧地利）、法蘭克福現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)博物館（德國）和國際新媒體藝術(shù)三年展（中國）等。

金允哲的創(chuàng)作形式涵蓋廣泛，包括裝置、繪畫、聲音、文本及其他媒介，并將數(shù)學(xué)、科技、音樂、哲學(xué)、詩歌和宇宙學(xué)融入進(jìn)他的實(shí)踐中。通過對(duì)“物質(zhì)”和“物質(zhì)性”提出基本問題，藝術(shù)家意在創(chuàng)造一個(gè)超越人類既有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的現(xiàn)實(shí)，并關(guān)注其潛在的趨勢(shì)。他的作品展現(xiàn)了藝術(shù)家想象的物質(zhì)世界，是一個(gè)在人類形成文化或被語言定義之前的維度的故事。

Yunchul Kim (b. 1970, Seoul, South Korea) lives and works in Seoul, South Korea, and is also active internationally. The artist has won international awards, including the 2016 Collide International Award from CERN, Ars Electronica, and the VIDA 15.0 Third Prize. He has also held solo exhibitions in several venues around the world, including the Korean Pavilion, 59th Venice Biennale, Italy; CCCB, Spain; FACT Liverpool, UK; Ars Electronica, Austria; Frankfurt Museum of Art, Germany; and the International Triennial of New Media Art, China.

Yunchul Kim works in a wide range of forms, including installation, painting, sound, text and other media, and incorporates mathematics, technology, music, philosophy, poetry and cosmology into his practice. Asking fundamental questions about “material” and “materiality,” he has demonstrated the creation of a reality beyond the realm of human experience, paying attention to its potential tendencies. His work embodies the material world imagined by the artist and is a story of a dimension before humans formed cultures or were defined by language.

關(guān)于The Pool by X Museum

X美術(shù)館與前灘太古里合作開設(shè)全新藝術(shù)空間The Pool by X Museum，預(yù)計(jì)于2024年3月22日正式面向公眾開放。The Pool的名字來源于X美術(shù)館原有的廣闊大廳空間，中文譯名為“廣池”，意為“廣納藝術(shù)為一池。”前灘太古里攜手X美術(shù)館，積極營造都市第三空間，以前沿的文化藝術(shù)探索促進(jìn)社區(qū)交流。The Pool by X Museum旨在邀請(qǐng)各領(lǐng)域的創(chuàng)作者呈現(xiàn)不同形式的當(dāng)代藝術(shù)項(xiàng)目，秉承X美術(shù)館的理念，著眼于藝術(shù)的未來，關(guān)注新興思想與多元文化，致力于成為千禧一代視角下的國際交流平臺(tái)。

The Pool by X Museum is a new off-site project space of X Museum Beijing located in Taikoo Li Qiantan, Shanghai. Continuing X Museum's mission to support emerging artists, The Pool hosts new site-specific commissions from artists. ‘The Pool’ borrows its name from X Museum’s lobby space ‘廣池’, a metonymy for ‘assembly’ or ‘place for gathering’.
