EP27 「行于暗 Walking in the Dark」 策展人与艺术家现场导览on-site tour

本期播客是艺仓美术馆就新开幕的艺术家群展「罗宾·沃德：行于暗」而发起的策展人Shai Baitel与艺术家Robyn Ward现场导览。

This episode of the podcast is initiated by Modern Art Museum Shanghai in conjunction with the curator Shai Baitel and artist Robyn Ward for on-site tour of the newly opened group exhibition "Robyn Ward: Walking in the Dark".

上海艺仓美术馆秉持着立足上海、展望世界的视野，我们持续关注当代艺术的本土性与全球性。通过艺术家罗宾·沃德的个案，呈现出全球化时代移民艺术家对于身份意识、文化冲突、地缘政治的个体感受，以及在此过程中形成的跨文化、多元素的综合视觉表达。

With a vision rooted in Shanghai and looking towards the world, Modern Art Museum Shanghai continue to focus on the local and global aspects of contemporary art. Through the case of the artist Robyn Ward, we present the individual experiences of immigrant artists in the era of globalization regarding identity awareness, cultural conflicts, and geopolitical issues, as well as the integrated visual expressions of cross-cultural and diverse elements that emerge in this process.

【艺术家介绍】

罗宾·沃德 Robyn Ward

罗宾·沃德成长于北爱尔兰，擅长以自身经历作为媒介，反思当下社会变迁。艺术家致力于审视历史是如何塑造当下世界，对气候变化、环境破坏、经济不平等等诸多问题作出回应。罗宾·沃德在过去多年里一直使用化名或以团体的形式进行艺术活动，直到2017年他的真实身份才被揭开面纱。罗宾·沃德的作品曾在墨西哥城的塔马约博物馆与国家艺术博物馆展出，并参加了纽约、伦敦、洛杉矶、巴黎和香港等地的多个重要拍卖会和展览。罗宾·沃德目前工作于纽约、洛杉矶、墨西哥城之间。

Robyn Ward (b.1982 Dublin) tells a bold narrative that is both timely and provocative through painting and sculpture. Born in Ireland and growing up in Northern Ireland, Ward takes his personal experience of destruction, chaos, and governance commenting on the breakdown of society, relating it to both historical and modern-day global conflict. This allows him to examine how the world has been shaped by the past; from climate change and environmental destruction to socio-economic inequality. Reoccurring images are obscured and unveiled in Ward’s multi-faceted canvases. Using wet, loose brush strokes with distinctive markings he tells this story through a nostalgic veil of innocence and naivety, revealing snapshots of the past while simultaneously obscuring or hiding others. “Each layer depicts a different fragment of time” Ward comments “often they are screen- shots of parts of my life”.

Ward has worked under many pseudonyms and different collectives throughout the years, until recently breaking the cover of anonymity in 2017. This quickly grabbed the attention of international media and he has been working under his birth name since.

Ward has exhibited at the Museo Tamayo and the Museo Nacional De Arte in Mexico City, with paintings included in a number of key auctions and exhibitions in the likes of NY, London, Los Angeles, Paris and Hong Kong amongst others.

His studios are currently located between New York, Los Angeles and Mexico City.
