I want to start with a question.
0
937
2277
我想先从一个问题开始。
00:15
Where does an artwork begin?
1
3238
1933
"一个艺术品从何而来？"
00:18
Now sometimes that question is absurd.
2
6119
2976
有时候这个问题听起来很可笑。
00:21
It can seem deceptively simple,
3
9119
3564
它可能看起来很简单，
00:24
as it was when I asked the question
with this piece, "Portable Planetarium,"
with this piece, "Portable Planetarium,"
4
12707
3690
就像当我对着自己创作于
2010年的“便携式天文馆”
2010年的“便携式天文馆”
00:28
that I made in 2010.
5
16421
1794
问出问题的时候。
00:30
I asked the question:
6
18239
1865
我问的是：
00:32
"What would it look like
to build a planetarium of one's own?"
to build a planetarium of one's own?"
7
20128
3496
“建立一个自己的天文馆
会是什么样子？”
会是什么样子？”
00:35
I know you all ask that every morning,
8
23998
1833
我知道你们每天早上
都会问自己一个问题，
都会问自己一个问题，
00:37
but I asked myself that question.
9
25855
2327
但我会问自己那个问题。
00:40
And as an artist,
10
28562
1634
而且作为一个艺术家，
00:42
I was thinking about our effort,
11
30220
2921
我考虑的是我们的付出，
00:45
our desire, our continual longing
that we've had over the years
that we've had over the years
12
33165
5549
我们的欲望，
我们这几年持续的向往：
我们这几年持续的向往：
00:50
to make meaning of the world around us
13
38738
2801
通过素材让我们周围的世界
00:53
through materials.
14
41563
1404
变得有意义。
00:55
And for me, to try and find
the kind of wonder,
the kind of wonder,
15
43492
3475
对于我，去试图找到一种奇迹，
00:58
but also a kind of futility
that lies in that very fragile pursuit,
that lies in that very fragile pursuit,
16
46991
5261
和一种脆弱追求下的徒劳，
01:04
is part of my art work.
17
52276
1452
是我的艺术工作的一部分。
01:05
So I bring together
the materials I find around me,
the materials I find around me,
18
53752
3492
我把周围能找到的素材
聚集在一起，
聚集在一起，
01:09
I gather them to try
and create experiences,
and create experiences,
19
57268
3278
试着去创造体验，
01:12
immersive experiences that occupy rooms,
20
60570
3659
能够充斥房间的，
能够蔓延四壁、景观
和建筑的沉浸式体验。
和建筑的沉浸式体验。
01:16
that occupy walls, landscapes, buildings.
21
64253
2976
01:19
But ultimately,
I want them to occupy memory.
I want them to occupy memory.
22
67253
3067
但是最终，我想它们占据回忆。
01:22
And after I've made a work,
23
70847
2532
每当我完成一个作品后，
01:25
I find that there's usually one memory
of that work that burns in my head.
of that work that burns in my head.
24
73403
4650
我发现通常有一段记忆
在我脑中挥之不去。
在我脑中挥之不去。
01:30
And this is the memory for me --
25
78077
1540
那个记忆对我——
01:31
it was this sudden
kind of surprising experience
kind of surprising experience
26
79641
2640
是一种突然的，
01:34
of being immersed inside that work of art.
27
82305
3391
沉浸在艺术作品中
所获得的惊喜的经历。
所获得的惊喜的经历。
01:37
And it stayed with me
and kind of reoccurred in my work
and kind of reoccurred in my work
28
85720
3040
它一直跟随着我，
并在之后的大概十年
并在之后的大概十年
01:40
about 10 years later.
29
88784
1538
反复出现在我的工作中。
01:42
But I want to go back
to my graduate school studio.
to my graduate school studio.
30
90346
3945
但是我想回到我
研究生学院的工作室。
研究生学院的工作室。
01:46
I think it's interesting, sometimes,
when you start a body of work,
when you start a body of work,
31
94315
3437
有意思的是，
有时当你开始工作，
有时当你开始工作，
01:49
you need to just completely
wipe the plate clean,
wipe the plate clean,
32
97776
3011
你只需要彻底擦干净调色盘，
01:52
take everything away.
33
100811
1175
清走一切东西。
01:54
And this may not look
like wiping the plate clean,
like wiping the plate clean,
34
102010
2611
这个可能看起来
不像是在擦调色盘，
不像是在擦调色盘，
01:56
but for me, it was.
35
104645
1200
但对我来说是的。
01:58
Because I had studied painting
for about 10 years,
for about 10 years,
36
106208
3798
因为我已经研究绘画十年，
02:02
and when I went to graduate school,
37
110030
1682
而当我去研究生院，
我意识到我学到了技巧，
但是我没有主题。
但是我没有主题。
02:03
I realized that I had developed skill,
but I didn't have a subject.
but I didn't have a subject.
38
111736
3175
它就像是一种运动技巧，
02:06
It was like an athletic skill,
39
114935
1507
因为我可以很快画出图像，
02:08
because I could paint the figure quickly,
40
116466
2046
但是我不知道为什么。
02:10
but I didn't know why.
41
118536
1166
我可以画得很好，
但我的作品却没有内涵。
但我的作品却没有内涵。
02:11
I could paint it well,
but it didn't have content.
but it didn't have content.
42
119726
2337
所以我决定把所有画
搁置一段时间，
搁置一段时间，
02:14
And so I decided to put
all the paints aside for a while,
all the paints aside for a while,
43
122087
3960
02:18
and to ask this question, which was:
44
126071
2777
然后问这个问题：
02:20
"Why and how do objects
acquire value for us?"
acquire value for us?"
45
128872
3720
“物体为什么以及如何
为我们带来价值？”
为我们带来价值？”
02:24
How does a shirt that I know
thousands of people wear,
thousands of people wear,
46
132616
5055
一件几千个人穿的衬衫，
02:29
a shirt like this one,
47
137695
1207
就像这样的一件，
02:30
how does it somehow feel like it's mine?
48
138926
1913
是怎么感觉出来它就是我的？
所以我开始了一个实验，
02:32
So I started with that experiment,
49
140863
1627
我决定收集一些
有一定品质的材料。
有一定品质的材料。
02:34
I decided, by collecting materials
that had a certain quality to them.
that had a certain quality to them.
50
142514
3715
02:38
They were mass-produced,
easily accessible,
easily accessible,
51
146253
2650
它们是批量生产，容易获取，
02:40
completely designed
for the purpose of their use,
for the purpose of their use,
52
148927
3349
完全出于使用目的而设计的，
02:44
not for their aesthetic.
53
152300
1303
而并非为美感。
02:45
So things like toothpicks, thumbtacks,
54
153627
3450
所以，对于牙签，图钉，
02:49
pieces of toilet paper,
55
157101
1534
卫生纸这样的东西，
02:50
to see if in the way that I put my energy,
my hand, my time into them,
my hand, my time into them,
56
158659
5021
我想看看如果我投入
我的精力、双手和时间进去，
我的精力、双手和时间进去，
02:55
that the behavior could actually create
a kind of value in the work itself.
a kind of value in the work itself.
57
163704
4889
这种行为是否会
让作品产生一种价值。
让作品产生一种价值。
03:00
One of the other ideas is,
I wanted the work to become live.
I wanted the work to become live.
58
168617
3270
另一种想法是，
我希望这个作品能生动起来。
我希望这个作品能生动起来。
03:03
So I wanted to take it
off of the pedestal,
off of the pedestal,
59
171911
2108
所以我想把它从底座取下来，
03:06
not have a frame around it,
60
174043
1367
而不用框架围着，
03:07
have the experience not be
that you came to something
that you came to something
61
175434
2961
能够有一种切身体验，
不再是当你靠近某个东西，
不再是当你靠近某个东西，
03:10
and told you that it was important,
62
178419
1761
被告知它很重要，
03:12
but that you discover
that it was in your own time.
that it was in your own time.
63
180204
3285
而是用你自己的时间来发现的。
03:15
So this is like a very,
very old idea in sculpture,
very old idea in sculpture,
64
183513
3868
所以这个就像雕塑艺术中
一种非常非常古老的思考，
一种非常非常古老的思考，
03:19
which is: How do we breathe life
into inanimate materials?
into inanimate materials?
65
187405
4491
即：我们如何将生命
带入无生命的物质中？
带入无生命的物质中？
03:24
And so, I would go to a space like this,
66
192405
2199
因此，我会想要进入
一个像这样的空间，
一个像这样的空间，
03:26
where there was a wall,
67
194628
1206
里面有一面墙，
03:27
and use the paint itself,
68
195858
2139
利用涂料本身，
03:30
pull the paint out off the wall,
69
198021
1674
把涂料从墙上“拉下来”，
03:31
the wall paint into space
to create a sculpture.
to create a sculpture.
70
199719
2596
于是涂料进入空间，
形成了一个雕塑。
形成了一个雕塑。
03:34
Because I was also interested in this idea
71
202339
2056
因为我对这个想法也感兴趣，
03:36
that these terms, "sculpture,"
"painting," "installation" --
"painting," "installation" --
72
204419
3361
这些术语， “雕塑”，
“绘画”， “装置’——
“绘画”， “装置’——
03:39
none of these mattered in the way
we actually see the world.
we actually see the world.
73
207804
2962
这些与我们实际
看待世界的方式无关。
看待世界的方式无关。
03:42
So I wanted to blur those boundaries,
74
210790
2530
所以我想要模糊那些边界，
03:45
both between mediums
that artists talk about,
that artists talk about,
75
213344
3204
模糊那些艺术家谈论到的
媒介之间的边界，
媒介之间的边界，
03:48
but also blur the experience
of being in life and being in art,
of being in life and being in art,
76
216572
3682
也模糊生活和艺术的边界，
03:52
so that when you are in your everyday,
77
220278
1870
这样当你在日常生活中，
03:54
or when you are in one of my works,
78
222172
2281
或当你在我的一个作品中时，
03:56
and you saw, you recognized the everyday,
79
224477
3610
你看见了，意识到了每一天，
04:00
you could then move that experience
into your own life,
into your own life,
80
228111
4262
你可以把那些体验变成自己的生活，
04:04
and perhaps see the art in everyday life.
81
232397
3389
或许可以在日常生活中看见艺术。
04:08
I was in graduate school in the '90s,
82
236386
1762
我在九十年代念的研究生，
04:10
and my studio just became
more and more filled with images,
more and more filled with images,
83
238172
2977
我的工作室里摆放了
越来越多的图像，
越来越多的图像，
04:13
as did my life.
84
241173
1150
和我的生活一样。
04:14
And this confusion of images and objects
85
242347
3373
而图像和物体的这种混乱
04:17
was really part of the way
I was trying to make sense of materials.
I was trying to make sense of materials.
86
245744
3920
确实是我尝试理解素材
的一种方式。
的一种方式。
04:21
And also, I was interested
in how this might change
in how this might change
87
249688
2770
而且，我对于这可能如何改变
我们实际体验时间的方式
我们实际体验时间的方式
04:24
the way that we actually experience time.
88
252482
2881
很感兴趣。
04:27
If we're experiencing time
through materials,
through materials,
89
255387
2420
如果我们通过素材体验时间，
04:29
what happens when images and objects
become confused in space?
become confused in space?
90
257831
4918
当图像和物体在空间中
变得混乱时会发生什么？
变得混乱时会发生什么？
04:34
So I started by doing some
of these experiments with images.
of these experiments with images.
91
262773
4309
所以我开始用图片做一些实验。
04:39
And if you look back to the 1880s,
92
267106
3757
如果你回顾19世纪80年代，
04:42
that's when the first photographs
started turning into film.
started turning into film.
93
270887
3944
那是第一批照片变成电影的时候。
04:46
And they were done
through studies of animals,
through studies of animals,
94
274855
5110
它们是通过对动物的研究完成的，
04:51
the movement of animals.
95
279989
1157
动物的运动，
04:53
So horses in the United States,
birds in France.
birds in France.
96
281170
3106
比如美国的马，法国的鸟。
04:56
They were these studies of movement
97
284300
1683
先是对运动的研究，
04:58
that then slowly,
like zoetropes, became film.
like zoetropes, became film.
98
286007
2480
然后慢慢地，像西洋镜一样，
变成了电影。
变成了电影。
05:00
So I decided, I will take an animal
99
288511
2796
所以我决定要选个动物，
05:03
and I'm going to play with that idea
100
291331
1746
然后研究这个想法：
05:05
of how the image is not static
for us anymore, it's moving.
for us anymore, it's moving.
101
293101
4518
图像如何对于我们
不再静止，而是运动的，
不再静止，而是运动的，
05:09
It's moving in space.
102
297930
1183
在空间中运动。
05:11
And so I chose
as my character the cheetah,
as my character the cheetah,
103
299137
3940
然后我选择了豹子作为我的动物，
05:15
because she is the fastest
land-dwelling creature on earth.
land-dwelling creature on earth.
104
303101
4000
因为它是地球上
跑得最快的陆地动物，
跑得最快的陆地动物，
05:19
And she holds that record,
105
307125
1239
它一直保持着这项记录，
05:20
and I want to use her record
106
308388
1975
我想要利用这一记录
05:22
to actually make it kind of
a measuring stick for time.
a measuring stick for time.
107
310387
3880
作为一种衡量时间的量尺。
05:26
And so this is what she looked like
in the sculpture
in the sculpture
108
314291
3355
这是豹子在空间移动时
05:29
as she moved through space.
109
317670
1359
在雕塑中呈现的样子。
05:31
This kind of broken framing
of the image in space,
of the image in space,
110
319053
3314
这是一幅破碎的空间图像，
05:34
because I had put up notepad paper
111
322391
2754
因为我挂上了记事本纸，
05:37
and had it actually project on it.
112
325169
2475
然后把图像投影在上面。
05:39
Then I did this experiment
where you have kind of a race,
where you have kind of a race,
113
327668
3163
然后通过一些新工具和视频，
05:42
with these new tools and video
that I could play with.
that I could play with.
114
330855
2548
我在实验中增加了赛跑元素。
05:45
So the falcon moves out in front,
115
333427
1874
鹰在最前面，
05:47
the cheetah, she comes in second,
116
335325
1824
之后是豹子，排在第二，
05:49
and the rhino is trying
to catch up behind.
to catch up behind.
117
337173
2804
犀牛正从后面尝试赶上。
05:52
Then another one of the experiments,
118
340001
1746
在另一个实验中，
05:53
I was thinking about how,
119
341771
1213
我在想如何——
05:55
if we try and remember
one thing that happened to us
one thing that happened to us
120
343008
4223
如果我们试图想起
一件发生在我们身上的事，
一件发生在我们身上的事，
05:59
when we were, let's say, 10 years old.
121
347255
2433
假如是 10 岁左右的事，
06:01
It's very hard to remember
even what happened in that year.
even what happened in that year.
122
349712
3674
我们甚至都很难想起来
在那一年都发生了什么。
在那一年都发生了什么。
06:05
And for me, I can think
of maybe one, maybe two,
of maybe one, maybe two,
123
353410
2373
而对于我，
我可以想起来也许一两件事，
我可以想起来也许一两件事，
06:07
and that one moment
has expanded in my mind
has expanded in my mind
124
355807
5266
而那个时刻在我的脑海中扩展开，
06:13
to fill that entire year.
125
361097
1421
填满了那一整年。
06:14
So we don't experience time
in minutes and seconds.
in minutes and seconds.
126
362542
3175
所以我们并不以分钟和秒
来体验时间。
来体验时间。
06:17
So this is a still
of the video that I took,
of the video that I took,
127
365741
3836
这是我拍的一个视频中的一个画面，
06:21
printed out on a piece of paper,
128
369601
1770
我把它打印在了一张纸上，
06:23
the paper is torn and then the video
is projected on top of it.
is projected on top of it.
129
371395
3474
纸是撕碎的，
然后视频投影在上面。
然后视频投影在上面。
06:27
And I wanted to play with this idea
130
375323
1705
我想尝试这种想法：
06:29
of how, in this kind of
complete immersion of images
complete immersion of images
131
377052
3858
完全沉浸在这些笼罩着我们
06:32
that's enveloped us,
132
380934
1842
的图片中，
06:34
how one image can actually grow
133
382800
3897
一张图片是如何变大
06:38
and can haunt us.
134
386721
1608
并在我们脑海中挥之不去的。
06:41
So I had all of these --
135
389030
1254
所以我做了所有的这些——
06:42
these are three out of, like,
100 experiments I was trying with images
100 experiments I was trying with images
136
390308
4100
这些是我十多年来，
用图片做的100 个实验中的
用图片做的100 个实验中的
06:46
for over about a decade,
137
394432
1206
三个实验，
06:47
and never showing them,
138
395662
1445
我从未展示过它们。
06:49
and I thought, OK, how do I bring this
out of the studio, into a public space,
out of the studio, into a public space,
139
397131
5151
我思考过，我要怎么把这个
从工作室带到公共空间，
从工作室带到公共空间，
06:54
but retain this kind of energy
of experimentation
of experimentation
140
402306
3153
但是依旧保留住那种
06:57
that you see when you go
into a laboratory,
into a laboratory,
141
405483
2336
当你进入实验室或者工作室后
06:59
you see when you go into a studio,
142
407843
1904
可以看见的那种实验的能量？
07:01
and I had this show coming up
and I just said,
and I just said,
143
409771
2167
那时我马上要举办这个展览，
于是我想，
于是我想，
07:03
alright, I'm going to put my desk
right in the middle of the room.
right in the middle of the room.
144
411962
3179
我要把我的桌子
放在房间的正中间。
放在房间的正中间。
07:07
So I brought my desk
and I put it in the room,
and I put it in the room,
145
415165
2293
所以我带了我的桌子，
放在房间里，
放在房间里，
07:09
and it actually worked
in this kind of very surprising way to me,
in this kind of very surprising way to me,
146
417482
4009
而它实际上以一种
非常令人惊讶的方式起了作用，
非常令人惊讶的方式起了作用，
07:13
in that it was this kind of flickering,
because of the video screens, from afar.
because of the video screens, from afar.
147
421515
5099
附加了远处的视频屏幕
带来的闪烁感。
带来的闪烁感。
07:18
And it had all
of the projectors on it,
of the projectors on it,
148
426638
1828
所有投影仪都投在上面，
07:20
so the projectors were creating
the space around it,
the space around it,
149
428490
2532
这些投影仪创作了它周围的空间，
07:23
but you were drawn towards
the flickering like a flame.
the flickering like a flame.
150
431046
3048
但是你被像火焰一样
的闪烁吸引住了。
的闪烁吸引住了。
07:26
And then you were enveloped in the piece
151
434443
2063
然后你被包裹在了碎片中，
07:28
at the scale that we're all
very familiar with,
very familiar with,
152
436530
2317
以我们都熟悉的规模，
07:30
which is the scale of being in front
of a desk or a sink or a table,
of a desk or a sink or a table,
153
438871
5303
仿佛站在桌子或者水槽前，
07:36
and you are immersed, then,
back into this scale,
back into this scale,
154
444198
3365
然后你沉浸其中，回到这种
07:39
this one-to-one scale
of the body in relation to the image.
of the body in relation to the image.
155
447587
3936
跟你的身体大小相当的规模。
07:43
But on this surface,
156
451547
1753
但是在这表面上，
07:45
you had these projections on paper
being blown in the wind,
being blown in the wind,
157
453324
4444
投影机投在被风吹拂的纸上，
07:49
so there was this confusion
of what was an image
of what was an image
158
457792
2864
人们产生分不清什么是图像，
07:52
and what was an object.
159
460680
1484
什么是实体的困惑。
07:54
So this is what the work looked like
when it went into a larger room,
when it went into a larger room,
160
462188
3262
这是作品被置于一个
更大房间后的样子，
更大房间后的样子，
而直到我做了这个作品，
07:57
and it wasn't until I made this piece
161
465474
1802
我才意识到，我无意中创造了
07:59
that I realized that I'd effectively made
the interior of a planetarium,
the interior of a planetarium,
162
467300
4999
08:04
without even realizing that.
163
472323
1938
一个天文馆的内部。
08:06
And I remembered, as a child,
loving going to the planetarium.
loving going to the planetarium.
164
474285
4530
我记得，在小的时候，
我很喜欢去天文馆。
我很喜欢去天文馆。
08:10
And back then, the planetarium,
165
478839
1664
而那时的天文馆
08:12
there was always not only
these amazing images on the ceiling,
these amazing images on the ceiling,
166
480527
3463
不只有天花板上精彩的图片，
08:16
but you could see the projector itself
whizzing and burring,
whizzing and burring,
167
484014
3944
还可以看见投影仪本身
在工作时嘶嘶作响，
在工作时嘶嘶作响，
08:19
and this amazing camera
in the middle of the room.
in the middle of the room.
168
487982
3143
以及房间中令人惊叹的摄像机。
08:23
And it was that, along with seeing
the audience around you looking up,
the audience around you looking up,
169
491149
4222
同时还能看见周围的
一些观众抬头向上看，
一些观众抬头向上看，
08:27
because there was an audience
in the round at that time,
in the round at that time,
170
495395
2777
在那时周围会有很多观众，
08:30
and seeing them, and experiencing,
being part of an audience.
being part of an audience.
171
498196
2937
看着他们，体验着
成为观众的一部分。
成为观众的一部分。
这个是我从网上下载的
08:33
So this is an image from the web
that I downloaded
that I downloaded
172
501157
3769
08:36
of people who took images
of themselves in the work.
of themselves in the work.
173
504950
3198
人们在作品中自拍的图片。
08:40
And I like this image
174
508172
1150
我喜欢这个图片，
因为你可以看见人物
是如何与作品融合在一起的，
是如何与作品融合在一起的，
08:41
because you see how the figures
get mixed with the work.
get mixed with the work.
175
509346
3135
08:44
So you have the shadow of a visitor
against the projection,
against the projection,
176
512505
4421
于是有了游客背对着投影的背影，
08:48
and you also see the projections
across a person's shirt.
across a person's shirt.
177
516950
2738
也可以看见投影
穿过一个人的衬衫。
穿过一个人的衬衫。
08:51
So there were these self-portraits
made in the work itself,
made in the work itself,
178
519712
3438
这些自拍照由作品本身完成，
08:55
and then posted,
179
523174
1151
然后被发布出来，
08:56
and it felt like a kind of cyclical
image-making process.
image-making process.
180
524349
3832
感觉起来像一种
周期性图片制作流程，
周期性图片制作流程，
09:00
And a kind of an end to that.
181
528205
1729
和一种结束。
09:01
But it reminded me and brought me back
to the planetarium,
to the planetarium,
182
529958
3571
但是它提醒了我，
把我带回了天文馆
把我带回了天文馆
09:05
and that interior,
183
533553
1302
和天文馆的内部，
09:06
and I started to go back to painting.
184
534879
1952
然后我开始重新画画。
09:08
And thinking about how a painting
is actually, for me,
is actually, for me,
185
536855
4206
并且思考一幅画，
对于我来说，
对于我来说，
09:13
about the interior images
that we all have.
that we all have.
186
541085
2834
如何与我们
所有人的内部图像有关。
所有人的内部图像有关。
09:15
There's so many interior images,
187
543943
1745
有很多内部图像，
09:17
and we've become so focused
on what's outside our eyes.
on what's outside our eyes.
188
545712
2976
而我们变得如此专注于
我们眼睛之外的东西。
我们眼睛之外的东西。
09:21
And how do we store memory in our mind,
189
549204
3497
还有，我们如何在头脑中存储记忆，
09:24
how certain images emerge out of nowhere
190
552725
2821
某些图片如何突然出现，
09:27
or can fall apart over time.
191
555570
2048
或随着时间的流逝而瓦解。
09:29
And I started to call this series
the "Afterimage" series,
the "Afterimage" series,
192
557642
3476
我开始把这一系列作品
叫做“残像”系列，
叫做“残像”系列，
09:33
which was a reference to this idea
that if we all close our eyes right now,
that if we all close our eyes right now,
193
561142
4205
它是这种想法的参考，
如果我们现在都闭上眼睛，
如果我们现在都闭上眼睛，
09:37
you can see there's this flickering
light that lingers,
light that lingers,
194
565371
2579
你可以看见忽隐忽现，徘徊的光，
09:39
and when we open it again,
it lingers again --
it lingers again --
195
567974
2143
而当我们再次睁开眼睛，
它继续萦绕——
它继续萦绕——
09:42
this is happening all the time.
196
570141
1515
这一直在发生。
09:43
And an afterimage is something
that a photograph can never replace,
that a photograph can never replace,
197
571680
5481
残像是照片永远无法取代的，
09:49
you never feel that in a photograph.
198
577185
2230
你无法在照片中感受到。
09:51
So it really reminds you of the limits
of the camera's lens.
of the camera's lens.
199
579439
3667
所以，这确实提醒了你
照相机镜头的局限性。
照相机镜头的局限性。
09:55
So it was this idea of taking the images
that were outside of me --
that were outside of me --
200
583130
3174
这个想法，在我自身外部
照这些图片——
照这些图片——
这是我的工作室——
09:58
this is my studio --
201
586328
1154
09:59
and then trying to figure out how
they were being represented inside me.
they were being represented inside me.
202
587506
4484
然后试图弄清楚
它们是如何表现我的内在的。
它们是如何表现我的内在的。
10:04
So really quickly,
203
592014
1386
那么很快，
10:05
I'm just going to whiz through
how a process might develop
how a process might develop
204
593424
4176
我打算为下一个作品
研究这个过程
研究这个过程
可能如何发展。
10:09
for the next piece.
205
597624
1152
10:10
So it might start with a sketch,
206
598800
2547
可能从草图开始，
10:13
or an image that's burned in my memory
207
601371
2345
或者从一个我记忆中的图片开始，
10:15
from the 18th century --
208
603740
1163
一幅画，来自18世纪——
10:16
it's Piranesi's "Colosseum."
209
604927
2248
皮拉内西的《罗马竞技场》。
10:19
Or a model the size of a basketball --
210
607830
2366
或者一个篮球大小的模型——
10:22
I built this around a basketball,
211
610220
1619
我围绕着篮球建立了这个，
10:23
the scale's evidenced
by the red cup behind it.
by the red cup behind it.
212
611863
3111
它的大小可以对比背后的红杯子。
10:26
And that model can be put
into a larger piece as a seed,
into a larger piece as a seed,
213
614998
3000
这个模型可以作为种子，
放入更大的作品中，
放入更大的作品中，
10:30
and that seed can grow
into a bigger piece.
into a bigger piece.
214
618022
2356
然后这个种子可以长得更大，
10:32
And that piece can fill
a very, very large space.
a very, very large space.
215
620402
3333
甚至可以填充
一个非常，非常大的空间。
一个非常，非常大的空间。
10:36
But it can funnel down into a video
that's just made from my iPhone,
that's just made from my iPhone,
216
624077
5379
但是它也可以集中到
我刚用 iphone拍摄的一个视频中，
我刚用 iphone拍摄的一个视频中，
10:41
of a puddle outside my studio
in a rainy night.
in a rainy night.
217
629480
3605
一个雨夜，
在我工作室外的小水坑。
在我工作室外的小水坑。
10:46
So this is an afterimage
of the painting made in my memory,
of the painting made in my memory,
218
634457
3987
这是我记忆中画作的残像，
10:50
and even that painting can fade
as memory does.
as memory does.
219
638468
3650
而那个画作会随着记忆褪色。
10:54
So this is the scale of a very small image
220
642142
3548
这是我素描本中
一张很小的图片的大小。
10:57
from my sketchbook.
221
645714
1253
10:58
You can see how it can explode
222
646991
1761
你们能看见
它是如何爆炸式放大到
它是如何爆炸式放大到
11:00
to a subway station
that spans three blocks.
that spans three blocks.
223
648776
3000
一个跨越三个街区地铁站的尺寸。
11:04
And you could see how going
into the subway station
into the subway station
224
652149
2444
而且你可以看见
进入地铁站的过程
进入地铁站的过程
11:06
is like a journey through
the pages of a sketchbook,
the pages of a sketchbook,
225
654617
4263
就像一段
在素描本纸张间穿梭的旅程，
在素描本纸张间穿梭的旅程，
11:10
and you can see sort of a diary of work
writ across a public space,
writ across a public space,
226
658904
5135
你们可以看见横跨公共区域的
像工作日记一样的东西，
像工作日记一样的东西，
11:16
and you're turning the pages
of 20 years of art work
of 20 years of art work
227
664063
2690
当你穿过地铁时，你仿佛正在翻阅
11:18
as you move through the subway.
228
666777
2230
二十年来艺术工作的记录。
11:21
But even that sketch
actually has a different origin,
actually has a different origin,
229
669031
3635
但是甚至那个素描实际上
也有不同的起源，
也有不同的起源，
11:24
it has an origin in a sculpture
that climbs a six-story building,
that climbs a six-story building,
230
672690
6228
有个起源
是一个爬了六层楼的雕塑，
是一个爬了六层楼的雕塑，
11:30
and is scaled to a cat from the year 2002.
231
678942
3183
它在 2002 年被缩小成
一只猫的大小。
一只猫的大小。
11:34
I remember that because I had
two black cats at the time.
two black cats at the time.
232
682149
3119
我记得是因为那个时候
我有两只黑猫。
我有两只黑猫。
11:37
And this is an image of a work from Japan
233
685617
2778
这是一个来自日本的照片作品，
11:40
that you can see
the afterimage of in the subway.
the afterimage of in the subway.
234
688419
2286
你们可以看见地铁站内的残像，
11:42
Or a work in Venice,
235
690729
1769
还有一件威尼斯的作品，
11:44
where you see the image
etched in the wall.
etched in the wall.
236
692522
2865
可以看见刻在墙上的照片。
11:47
Or how a sculpture
that I did at SFMOMA in 2001,
that I did at SFMOMA in 2001,
237
695411
4285
或者是2001年我如何在
SFMOMA艺术馆制作的雕塑，
SFMOMA艺术馆制作的雕塑，
11:51
and created this kind of dynamic line,
238
699720
2468
创造了这种动态线条，
11:54
how I stole that to create a dynamic line
239
702212
2929
当你走下地铁站，
11:57
as you descend down
into the subway itself.
into the subway itself.
240
705165
2952
我是如何借鉴
并创造这个动态线条的。
并创造这个动态线条的。
12:00
And this merging of mediums
is really interesting to me.
is really interesting to me.
241
708141
2627
这种媒介的出现
对我来说非常有趣。
对我来说非常有趣。
12:02
So how can you take a line
that pulls tension like a sculpture
that pulls tension like a sculpture
242
710792
3643
如何能够在一张画作中体现出
12:06
and put it into a print?
243
714459
1403
雕塑线条的那种张力呢？
12:07
Or then use line
like a drawing in a sculpture
like a drawing in a sculpture
244
715886
2539
或者像画图一样，
12:10
to create a dramatic perspective?
245
718449
2285
在雕塑中用线条来创造
戏剧性的视角？
戏剧性的视角？
12:12
Or how can a painting mimic
the process of printmaking?
the process of printmaking?
246
720758
3493
或者绘画如何模仿版画的过程？
12:17
How can an installation
use the camera's lens
use the camera's lens
247
725013
3160
一个装置能如何利用相机镜头
12:20
to frame a landscape?
248
728197
1755
为景观做框架？
12:22
How can a painting on string
become a moment in Denmark,
become a moment in Denmark,
249
730308
4992
弦上的画在长途跋涉中
如何能变成丹麦的一瞬？
12:27
in the middle of a trek?
250
735324
1878
12:30
And how, on the High Line,
can you create a piece
can you create a piece
251
738180
2421
在纽约的高线公园，如何创造一个
12:32
that camouflages itself
into the nature itself
into the nature itself
252
740625
3024
能够伪装到大自然中，
12:35
and becomes a habitat
for the nature around it?
for the nature around it?
253
743673
3625
并成为周围自然栖息地的作品？
12:40
And I'll just end with two pieces
that I'm making now.
that I'm making now.
254
748729
3047
最后，我还想介绍一下
另外两件尚未完成的作品。
另外两件尚未完成的作品。
12:43
This is a piece called "Fallen Sky"
255
751800
1888
这个叫做“坠落的天空”的作品
12:45
that's going to be a permanent
commission in Hudson Valley,
commission in Hudson Valley,
256
753712
3468
将成为哈德逊河谷的一件永久作品，
12:49
and it's kind of the planetarium
finally come down
finally come down
257
757204
3246
仿佛是天文馆下凡，
12:52
and grounding itself in the earth.
258
760474
2270
降落于地球。
12:54
And this is a work from 2013
that's going to be reinstalled,
that's going to be reinstalled,
259
762768
3512
这是 2013 年的作品，
即将被重新安装，
即将被重新安装，
12:58
have a new life in the reopening of MOMA.

在新开放的MOMA艺术馆重生。
13:02
And it's a piece that the tool
itself is the sculpture.
itself is the sculpture.
261
770280

这作品的工具本身就是雕塑。
13:05
So the pendulum, as it swings,
262
773828
2698
这个会摆动的钟摆，
13:08
is used as a tool to create the piece.
263
776550
2876
被用作一个工具来创造作品。
13:11
So each of the piles of objects
264
779450
2885
所以每一组物体
13:14
go right up to one centimeter
to the tip of that pendulum.
to the tip of that pendulum.
265
782359
5553
都堆叠到距离钟摆尖端一厘米处。
13:19
So you have this combination
of the lull of that beautiful swing,
of the lull of that beautiful swing,
266
787936
3935
于是你既能感受到
这种优美的摆动所带来的平静，
这种优美的摆动所带来的平静，
13:23
but also the tension that it constantly
could destroy the piece itself.
could destroy the piece itself.
267
791895
3913
也能体会到时刻都有可能
破坏作品本身的那种张力。
破坏作品本身的那种张力。
13:28
And so, it doesn't really matter
where any of these pieces end up,
where any of these pieces end up,
268
796474
3262
这些作品最终会如何并不重要，
13:31
because the real point for me
269
799760
2787
因为对于我来说真正有意义的是，
13:34
is that they end up
in your memory over time,
in your memory over time,
270
802571
3054
它们最终会随着时间
消逝在你的记忆中，
消逝在你的记忆中，
13:37
and they generate ideas beyond themselves.
271
805649
3528
并且产生了超越本身的思考。
13:41
Thank you.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sarah Sze - ArtistSarah Sze's immersive works challenge the static nature of art.
Why you should listen
Sarah Sze's work questions the value society places on images and objects and how they both ascribe meaning to the places and times we inhabit. Widely recognized for expanding the boundaries between painting, sculpture, video and installation, Sze's work ranges from intimate paintings that collapse time and space to expansive installations that create complex constellations of materials and public works that scale walls and colonize architectures.
Sze was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2003 and a Radcliffe Fellowship in 2005. In 2013, she represented the United States at the Venice Biennale. Her work is exhibited in museums worldwide and held in the permanent collections of prominent institutions such as The Museum of Modern Art, New York, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and The Tate Modern. Sze has created many public works including pieces for the Seattle Opera House, The Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York and The High Line in New York. She is the author of Timekeeper and is featured in Sarah Sze (Contemporary Artists Series).
