关于展览 ABOUT EXHIBITION
梁绍基,中国重要的当代艺术家之一。三十余年来,他潜心于艺术与生物学、装置与雕塑、新媒体、行为的临界点进行探索,持续以蚕的生命历程为媒介、以与自然互动为特征、以时间、生命为核心的“自然系列”的创作。尽管此次创作中,梁绍基选择了玻璃这一全新材料,但他一直关注的核心主题——生命与死亡、自然与城市、历史与现实、时间与空间之间的复杂关系——仍然贯穿于他的艺术实践之中。正如艺术家所说,“实验是创造的驱动器。艺术家探索新材料,不仅是为了创造新的艺术形式语言,而是在好奇地追问,反思,发现其潜能——一种可能性之中获得自我解放。”对于梁绍基而言,此次与玻璃的“面对面”是艺术家创作生涯中重要的经历,不但延续了长期关注的命题,同时又试图在个人已早为公众熟知的艺术语言体系中寻找出新的突破,进而获得自身的解放。
Liang Shaoji is one of China’s prominent contemporary artists. For over thirty years, he has delved into the intersections of art and biology, installations and sculptures, new media, and performance, persistently exploring the juncture between them. His ongoing “Nature Series” revolves around the life cycle of silkworms, characterized by interaction with nature, with time and life at its core. Silkworms and their silk have become his most representative artistic language. In the “Annealing” project at the Shanghai Museum of Glass, he employs glass as the primary creative medium, adopting an experimental approach to break the constraints of craftsmanship and discover the possibilities of this entirely new material. This four-year collaborative project not only embodies the purpose of the “Annealing” project—to encourage artists to transcend material boundaries and unearth the spirituality beyond materials but also represents Liang Shaoji’s quest for re-questioning and liberating his own artistic creation.

Liang Shaoji
b. 1945 in Shanghai, now works and resides in Tiantai, Zhejiang Province.
Liang Shaoji studied soft sculpture from Maryn Varbanov at China Academy of Art. For more than thirty years, Liang has been indulged in the interdisciplinary creation in terms of art and biology, installation and sculpture, new media and textile. His Nature Series sees the life process of silkworms as creation medium, the interaction in natural world as his artistic language, time and life as the essential idea. His works are fulfilled with a sense of meditation, philosophy and poetry while illustrating the inherent beauty of silk.
