迈克尔·威廉姆斯 | Michael Williams

2018年9月7日 - 10月20日

开幕酒会:9月7日 晚6-8点

“在真正的长期运行中,恒星(在几万亿年中)耗尽能量并不再合成,这就是正常恒星的生命终结。我们可以使人工供暖持续更长时间,但随着时间的推移,能量将变得稀缺。在这个漫长而寒冷的时代,计算机软件为我们提供了无限美好的前景,但它是有限的:能量终将消耗殆尽。即使没有,这里也还是存在问题,即因质子在大于10 ^ 36年的时间尺度上发生衰变而导致物质变得不稳定——有一天,人们将没有原料来做任何事。这可能就是上限所在。”

——安德斯·桑德伯格(牛津大学人类未来研究所)

 

大卫·柯丹斯基画廊荣幸地呈现,美国画家迈克尔·威廉姆斯在画廊的首次个展。展览将于2018年9月7日正式开幕,并持续至10月20日。开幕酒会将于9月7日星期五晚6-8点举办。

迈克尔·威廉姆斯通过不断地质疑——并经常拆解——绘画的主要组成部分,从而对绘画的悠久历史作出审视。他以持续演变的形式问题向自己发起挑战,制造出反映了现代复杂性和矛盾的图像。此次展览涵盖了一系列用Photoshop编辑和数码绘画版绘制、而后喷墨打印到画布上的绘画作品。在这些图像的制作过程中,威廉姆斯平衡着不假思索的姿态和缜密严格的构图,使之呈现出一种故意为之的方向不明感。

除此之外,展览还将展出威廉姆斯近期创作的一组拼图绘画作品。在此,艺术家以一种复杂的失真模拟过程,有条不紊地破坏着构图,并以令人琢磨不透的、类似于拼图板的形态,对形式加以重新诠释。在此过程中,可靠的信息被转化为虚假信息,风格超越了惯常理解。威廉姆斯在现代主义的网格上编织出一个有机的、流动的变体,并在图像中建立了一种具有生产力的不稳定性——这种状态自始至终贯穿于他的作品。

迈克尔·威廉姆斯(1978年生于宾夕法尼亚州多尔斯敦)曾在法国第戎Le Consortium举办个展和艺术家双个展(与托比亚斯·皮尔斯,2017年)。此外,他还在诸多美术馆和艺术机构举办过个展,其中包括:卡内基艺术博物馆,匹兹堡,宾夕法尼亚州(2017);蒙特利尔博物馆(2015);大都会歌剧院Met空间,纽约(2015)。他近期参与的群展包括:“乔·布拉德雷,奥斯卡·图阿松和迈克尔·威廉姆斯”,布兰特基金会艺术研究中心,格林尼治,康涅狄格州(2018);“魔术大脑”,Aïshti基金会,黎巴嫩(2017);“高度焦虑”,鲁贝尔家族收藏,迈阿密(2016);“艺术家与诗人”,分离派艺术馆,维也纳,奥地利;“永远的现在:非时间性的当代绘画” ,纽约现代艺术博物馆(2014);“漫画未来”,马尔法艺术中心,马尔法,德州(2013)。目前,威廉姆斯在洛杉矶生活和工作。
