展览时间：2012年12月8日——12月17日

       展览地点：上海美术馆

       策展人：李道柳

       学术主持：彭锋

       2012年12月8日下午3点，上海美术馆将隆重举办国际知名艺术家秦风先生的“欲望风景”个展，展览将展出秦风近年精心创作的《欲望风景》、《文明景观》等系列作品。届时，现场观众将感受到他在东西方文明之间自己独特的艺术语言。
       秦风先生出生于新疆，1985年毕业于山东艺术学院，后任教于柏林艺术大学，现任职于哈佛大学亚洲中心，系北京当代艺术馆馆长兼创始人，中央美院研究生導師。作为哈佛大学有史以来的首位当代艺术研究员，他的作品是最多被西方重要的博物馆收藏的当代艺术家之一。其作品被纽约大都会博物馆，波士顿美术馆，加州亚太博物馆，美国福特基金会，迈克道尔基金会，哈佛大学Fogg美术馆，耶鲁大学美术馆、白宫等数十家博物馆、展出并收藏。
       秦风几十年来一直关注“后现代水墨”概念的研究及创作。他的作品表现出东西方传统与当代及未来的人文哲学思考，彰显时代质感：媒介（传统媒介与综合媒介）、年代（当代、传统与未来）、维度（平面与四维）以及文化（东西方文化）之融合。这使他的作品充满了人文含量与国际关怀。在秦风的作品中，可以很明显的看到他与八大山人精神上的相似和契合。无论是在2006年“文明风景”上展出的装置作品，还是在2008年出现的“欲望”系列中出现的综合媒介画面，或者是2011年的“欲望风景”传统形式与语境的切入，图像都传达了象征性的意图以及强烈的视觉效果。如果说它们的象征意义是对人类普世价值的一种探索，比如和谐，它既能弱化也能传达出人类生活的冲突和矛盾；那么这个象征性意味将留给观众更大的空间和可能来进行探索和解读。
       不同于20世纪早期的艺术家，秦风拒绝将艺术与短期的政治目标相结合，而是在连结艺术和哲学的过程中把焦点放在对于人类存在的更深层次的表达。《欲望风景》系列在丝棉纸上用墨和颜料完成，墨和纸的关系是水墨画的灵魂所在：纸异常敏锐地“感知着”墨。置身于《欲望风景》和《文明景观》系列作品中，我们深切感受到秦风创造出来的精神家园——正如秦风自己所言，“我的笔触是用来反映对生命的深刻体验” 。这些作品都是来源于生活经历和对人性深刻理解的基础上。传统中国书法绘画可被用来表达人性和生活经验，而秦风的作品体现的淋漓尽致。
       三十年的艺术生涯中，秦风几乎参与大多国外重要博物馆的关于亚洲艺术的展览。纽约大都会博物馆甚至将他的作品与中国古代艺术大师同时展览。本次展览由知名策展人李道柳策展，威尼斯双年展策展人彭锋担任学术主持。策展人李道柳认为，秦风其作品中有着大师的气场，其人亦有大师风范，事实上，秦风已经成为中国当代艺术的不可忽视的代表人物，希望在上海美术馆举办个展，能让国内业界更深入了解其作品。据了解，本次展览展览至12月17日，结束后还将赴美国德州博物馆、威尼斯特邀展，国家博物馆（北京）伦敦、柏林赫香港等地巡展。

“Desire Scenery”
The Shanghai Art Museum Welcomes Qin Feng Solo Exhibition

       (Shanghai, November 21, 2012) The Shanghai Art Museum will receive internationally-renowned contemporary artist Qin Feng for an exclusive solo exhibition entitled “Desire Scenery,” which will be open from December 8 to December 17, 2012. The artist’s “Desire Scenery” and “Civilization Landscape” will be unveiled at 3:00pm for guests to experience firsthand  Qin’s artistic language bridging Western and Eastern civilization.
Artistic Approach

       For many years, Qin Feng has been focusing on research and creation based on the concept of “postmodern ink and wash”. The “Desire Scenery” series is created using ink and paint on cotton paper, through which he exploits the humanistic relationship between ink and water allowing the paper to “feel” the ink.
The works reflect humanistic and philosophical thinking on eastern and western traditions, current and future, and also highlight a sense of times: the integration of media (traditional media and comprehensive media), time (ancient, contemporary and future), dimension (graphic and four-dimension) and culture (eastern and western).
“My brush is used to reproduce my heartfelt perception to life,” explains Qin Feng. His works are all based on his life experiences and understanding of human nature. Traditional Chinese calligraphy and paintings depict human nature and life experiences, and the symbolic meaning represents an exploration into human being’s universal value. The symbolism is meant to leave the audience with a desire for further exploration and interpretation.

       About Qin Feng

       Born in Xinjiang China, Qin Feng graduated from the prestigious Shandong Art Institute in 1985. He later   became a professor  at the Berlin University of Art and simultaneously served as the Curator for the Sino-German Cultural Exchange at the request of the City of Berlin. In 2006 Qin returned to China and founded the Museum of Contemporary Art in Beijing and accepted a position as research advisor for post graduates at the Central Academy of Fine Arts Beijing.
As a result of his combined experiences in the arts and notable work in international educational systems, Qing Feng was nominated and selected  as the only research associate for contemporary Art in the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University in 2008. In his 30-year career his contemporary artworks are among the most collected of any researcher at Harvard by Western museums and can be found at such notable places as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Pacific Asia Museum in California, the Ford Foundation, the White House and the Yale University Art Museum.

       Museum Collection

       The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has exhibited his works side by side with ancient Chinese masters’ creations. Mr. Li Daoliu curated the solo exhibition, and it was academically moderated by the curator of La Biennale di Venezia, Mr. Peng Feng. The legendary Mr. Li believes that Qin Feng’s works encompass a master’s energy and atmosphere. Throughout the installations exhibited in “Civilization Scenery” in 2006, the comprehensive-media paintings of the “Desire” series in 2008 and the introduction of traditional form and context into the “Desire Scenery”, it’s possible to see Qin’s energy through his use of symbolic meanings and powerful visual effects.

       Qing Feng is a distinguished guest of the Shanghai Art Museum not only because of his wide range of knowledge and work in the arts industry as a whole, but also as a truly remarkable artist. An incredible amount of exhibition entries, including involvement in most of the Asian art-related exhibitions in foreign museums, showcase his exceptional ability to create unique paintings, installations and sculptures. After the solo exhibition in China ends on Dec 17th 2012, it will be converted into a international travelling exhibition starting in the Texas Art Museum in USA then moving onto Venice, the National Museum of China (Beijing), London,
       Berlin and Hong Kong.
