　　2018年9月12日，由策展人王岩策划的展览《妄念》将在英国伦敦萨奇美术馆举行，本次展览由中国美术学院跨媒体艺术学院、萨奇美术馆和START艺术博览会主办，得到了中国驻英国大使馆文化处的大力支持。展览呈现了十位/组中国青年艺术家(朱玺、段官来、王震宇、吴穹&汪洋、王志鹏、孙晓宇、宋戈文、傅冬霆、邵睿璐)全新创作的十余件绘画、装置及影像作品，不仅融合东方传统哲思与西方当代文化视野，更集中呈现了中国青年艺术家对社会当下的回应、反思与预测。折叠现实与精神世界，领观者游走其中，同时探寻虚妄与执念、身份与权利、政治与信仰等议题。作为一次实践，“妄念”不矫准任何偏离，也肯定非常规的生命体验，挖掘并还原隐含于艺术创作中不可视的信息和精神图景，重新思考艺术的力量。

　　展览启幕之前，艺术网将陆续刊发十位/组参展艺术家的对话内容，以期更真实地呈现他们的所思所为。

Q&A

　　Q：《被射杀的宇航员》（《KILL SHOT THE SPACEMAN》）这件作品的创作契机是什么？

　　What motivated you to create KILL SHOT THE SPACEMAN?

　　A：在近两年，我的创作都围绕着信仰及个人信仰。信仰的涉及非常广泛，宗教，个人，兴趣，文化传统，生长背景等等，甚至于一个小小的习惯，都可以成为一个无法跨越，不容亵渎的“信仰”。这个主题很大，所以会慢慢梳理和挖掘。“科学”当然是非常重要的“宗教”之一。因为有人相信“科学”会拯救世界。也有宗教认为科学力量是一种“魔鬼的力量”。所以我在对每个宗教信仰的解读上都用了不同的方法和形式。在“科学信仰”，用了一种比较戏虐的，比较波普的手法来体现作为科学宗教吉祥物的宇航员——行走在宇宙空间的宇航员被狙击枪射杀（子弹是无法在真空环境中击杀对象的）——来体现科学并非看上去那样的美丽，即使彩色灯管下的宇航员形象依然美丽。

　　In recent two years, my creations are all about faith such as individual faith. Faith is a very broad topic including religion, individual interest, and cultural tradition and growing background. Even a small habit can become an insurmountable and sacred “faith”. This theme is extremely broad which needs to be reviewed and studied gradually. “Science” is undoubtedly a kind of important religions because some people believe it will save the world. Some religions take scientific power as a kind of “Devil’s Power”, so I use different methods and forms to interpret each religious faith. I used a hilarious way and Pop art to present the spaceman as the mascot of scientific religion—the spaceman wandering in the universe being shot to death by sniper rifle(bullets cannot shot a life to death in vacuum environment)—to embody that science is not as beautiful as it might be. The image of spacemen is still beautiful even though they are under colorful light tubes. 

　　Q：能否谈一谈宇航员之间“射杀”作为不可能事件所隐喻的科学信仰带来的和世界政治存在的一些问题？

　　Could you talk about the scientific faith metaphor reflected in KILL SHOT THE SPACEMAN and some problems facing world politics?

　　A：我的作品相对现实政治冲突，更多的是体现人的精神世界。政治是暂时的，人才是永恒的。不同的人群，不同语境下，政治立场都是相对的，可变的。只有人的精神善恶，人的自我探索才贯穿整个历史。

　　My works show more of people’s spiritual world rather than political conflicts in real life. Politics is temporary while human being is permanent. Political standpoint is changeable and relative depending on different people and contexts. It is human’s good or evil spirits and self-exploration that can last throughout history.

　　Q：结合你的创作，你是如何看待艺术家对于身份认同的理解？

　　How do you view artists’ understanding of identity recognition based on your creation?

　　A：艺术家也是一种职业，一种工种，创造业的一个部分。艺术的探索很孤独，艺术家在寻求独立的同时又渴望被理解。

　　Artists are also an occupation, a type of work and a part of manufacturing industry. The exploration of art is very lonely because artists are longing for understanding while seeking independence. 

　　艺术家的身份一直被人诟病，很多的人不承认艺术家的作品能给社会经济带来实质性的产出。这个结果是放弃艺术等精神层面的东西来换取经济高速发展，这也是难免的，我相信也是将来可以转变的。

　　Artists’ identity has always been doubted by some people. Many people don’t recognize that artists’ artworks can bring any substantial output to social economy which results in the fact that we have been pursuing rapid economic development by giving up spiritual growth. Although this phenomenon inevitably exits now, it can be changed in the future. 

　　Q：很多人说中国是没有信仰的国度，你是如何看待这个问题？

　　Many people say that China is a country without faith. What’s your take on it?

　　A：中国当然有信仰，共产主义就是中国的信仰。但中国人有没有信仰呢？儒家为首的诸子百家作为传承的根本，虽然屡遭“灭法”，依然存在，佛教在中国上千年的流传，基督教也在广泛传播福音。因为中国人口基数太大，上千万的信徒在总数上显得也只是少数人群。那中国人相信什么？我个人认为，中国人在没有系统的宗教感化之前，都是最原始的信仰——生存。为生存努力的工作，这也是这个历尽磨难的国家在这个历史阶段的最大的契机，用努力而改变自己以及下一代的命运，这是在很多资本主义国家已经不能撼动的了。

　　China certainly has faith, that is, communism. However, do Chinese people have faith? As the foundation of inheritance, many ancient Chinese philosophic thoughts with Confucianism as the most famous one still exist. Buddhism has been spread in China for thousands of years. Christianity has also been widely spread in China. Although there are millions of religious believers in China, the number of religious believers still seem much smaller compared with China’s total population which is the largest in the world. Then what do Chinese people believe? Personally, I think before being moved by systemic religion, they have the most original faith—survival. Working hard for survival is the biggest opportunity for this war-torn country at this historical stage. Changing the destiny of our next generation is already impossible in many capitalist country. 

　　Q：如何看待身份认同与信仰的关系？

　　How do you view the relationship between identity recognition and faith?

　　A：我不反对任何宗教形式的信仰，其原旨都是让个人变得更美好，从而世界更美好。但我相信人生而不同，美好对每个人的意思和终极目标不尽相同，尊重每个人的选择和奋斗方向，不要试图染指改变；对已有的宗教抱有宽容，忍让，警惕的态度。

 

　　I don’t oppose any forms of religious faith because their original idea is to make you a better person, thus making the world a better place. However, I believe that people are born different.  Becoming better is different for everyone in terms of its connotations and ultimate purpose. We should respect each person’s choice and struggle direction, trying not to interfere or convert. We should also hold tolerant and cautious attitudes towards those religions that already exist.
