Some thinking of sleep and death, from Museum Boymans in Rotterdam, Netherlands



Crystal Forest
These fertilizer crystals on the branches are growing since November 2006. during the day by the process of thinking tiny crystals are formed in our brain; during the sleep this crystals dissolve. People who sleep less, forget less, but they have a shorter life because they use their time faster. Do they?



Bone Free
The sleep is the little brother of death.



My Aunt from Borneo
With the time she got a bit dizzy and things have started to overgrow her mind.

Art Accident, Accident Art -- from Museum Boymans in Rotterdam, Netherlands




艺术的偶然,偶然的艺术


ZQF



从来都觉得自己没有艺术的细胞,不知道该怎样欣赏艺术,看想来似乎很复杂,但有时又好像很简单。
在荷兰的第四天,知道附近的博物馆免费开放,于是就决定去看一方,有的作品直接了生活的真,善,美,伴着说明,似乎有点明朗;有的画作,运用简单,或丰富的油,似乎很难明白。为了进一步培养自己的艺术细胞,不管懂与不懂,全都走马花地看了一遍,感觉似乎长多了几个艺术细胞。

在寻找厕所的过程中,偶然经过一幅画作,有一人半高,两人长左右,虽然不知道它表述什么,但觉得挺有艺术感,所以下面的一幕就是两个女孩把外套及包丢在一边,沉迷于艺术之中,或不,准确的说应该是沉迷于照相之中,几乎进入忘我的状态,立志要让自己在相片中看起来完美。

也许,搞艺术就得进入忘我状态,这样才能找到灵感去创作。那么欣赏艺术的人可能也要进入同样的状态,不然又怎能去理解它呢?正当我与友人在画前搔首弄资,乐不可知时,一位荷兰老太太向我们这边走来,对着空地中一堆物品欣赏,显然此物和对面一堆称为艺术品的废旧轮胎和玻璃完全不同,色彩变化丰富,呈桔红和鲜绿色,及白灰的帆布,不知是要传达怎样信息。
因为不懂荷兰语,所以习惯了对人的谈话充耳不闻,便忽然听闻有人在用英文发问:“这是件艺术品还是你们的东西?“显然友人没注意她在讲什么,以为是我们的东西挡了道,冲过去就把包和外套拿起来,而我在一旁笑翻了。那堆颜色丰富的物品正是我们同款不同色的外套及包,看来此妇沉迷于艺术之中不可自拔。

可能,艺术的产生,很多时候也就是一个偶然,而一个偶然的机会,很多东西都可以变成艺术。



Jing's comment:

Three days later, we visited Lousiana museum
in Denmark, a museum by the sea for moderne kunst. We saw the exhibition
"Made in China"
-- a exhibition about contemporary art and performance art from China,

While I was there, I sat in a stall and watched one video for a long time, a strange experience to hear familiar language after crossed half earth in a far far away country, yet don't understand what the show is. I tried very hard to figure out whether it is a computer game or a reaction show.

When I started to realized surrounding again, I found I became the centre of the crowd, some visitors might think I am part of art. I stared at show in amazement, at mean time, they stared at me up and down.
