Applying an archaeological approach, he travels into the past along the boundary of fact and fiction, creating novel links with an innate logic. The background to his exhibition lies in the park of Holzdorf estate near Weimar, where Dr. Otto Krebs gathered an important private art collection from the 1920s onwards. After the Second World War, the Soviets occupied the estate, taking much of the collection with them when they withdrew. Today, almost all of the paintings are in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and many of the sculptures that adorned the park have disappeared. By presenting a statue performatively in the estate’s bathing pond, Ting created a bridge between the site’s unfinished past and its newly extending future. In the exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Ting produces a new iteration of his processual work, the story of which he is continuing to develop. He transposes his sculpture from Holzdorf into a multi-layered installation that takes up the original scenario and, in a video piece, creates imaginary points of connection to Constantin Meunier’s The Sower (1896) – a figure from Dr. Krebs’ collection that now stands in front of the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin. 丁昶文的作品經常涉及過去時代的碎片,他以考古學的工作方法,沿著事實與虛構的邊界,開始穿越過去,並以自身的邏輯創造嶄新的聯繫。 本展覽起源於魏瑪附近的霍爾茲多夫莊園(Holzdorf estate),自1920年代以來,奧托·克雷布斯 (Otto Krebs) 博士在莊園擺放了重要的私人藝術收藏品,第二次世界大戰後,蘇聯軍隊佔領該處,並在離開時帶走了大部分的藏品,直至今日這些畫作幾乎都在聖彼得堡的冬宮,而莊園內的許多雕塑也同畫作一起消失。 當丁昶文在莊園的泳池中,重新立起一座新的雕像,他嘗試在未完成的過去,和該地區新開闢的未來之間架起了一座橋樑。在貝塔尼藝術村(Künstlerhaus Bethanien)的個展“重複自身 (Repeat itself)”中,丁昶文對他已完成的雕像作品進行了更新迭代,使故事繼續發展,他將這座雕像從霍爾茲多夫轉移到畫廊空間中的錄像裝置,並試圖打造如原始場景一般的水池,以呼應今天矗立在柏林的舊國家美術館(Alte Nationalgalerie)前,德國僅存的來自克雷布斯博士的收藏品——康斯坦丁·莫尼耶(Constantin Meunier)的《播種者》(The Sower,1896 年)。 |
