Questions

xiaolin — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:58:18 +0800

Working with an project proposal these two days, two Swedish artists come to China for their project “freedom”, they wanna to know how it means from a China perspective, their had some questions that are I’ve being thinking and confuse about, if any of you wanna share your thinking and give some answers?
近两天在负责一份倡议书，两位瑞典艺术家想知道“自由”在中国视角里呈现的样子，她们提出了一些问题，正好也是羊最近迷惑中的,如果朋友们愿意分享你们的想法？

• Who decides how you should live your life? Is it you? The society? Your family? Expectations? / Who is in charge of your life?
• Do you know what you want? What do you really want in life?
• What is our responsibility as human beings: Towards each other? The planet?
• Is choice the same thing as freedom? Have you been in a situation where you had to make a very important or difficult choice?
• How has the idea that economical growth is the way to happiness affected you?

大略的翻译了一下:

• 你如何生活是由谁来决定的？是你？社会？你的家庭？期待？/谁在主宰你的生活？
• 你知道你想要什么吗？你想从生活里得到些什么？
• 你作为人的责任(对他人，对星球)是什么？
• 选择和自由是等同的吗？你有没有过处在一个艰难的局面必须做出非常重要或艰难的选择？
• “经济增长是通往幸福的道路”这个观念如何影响到你？

Fall Down

God clean away all the soft and throw me onto the floor, hit me great and heavy, I’m asking why this dad always soft to others but such strong to me?
You know some people have to be strong and heavy, only that can save them out from the deep valley, when they practiced enough their wing will be big and strong, they will fly higher than the other, they can be together with the wind and get the great freedom , their fly will be like a dance
When this baby fall I know and I feel the dad opened his arm, when this baby stepped out the dad smiled
Thank you

Some Thoughts

xiaolin — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:10:25 +0800

总是在想如果天使是超越人的认知的，那么如果他其实不是人想象的那样集合成人类美丽的形态，如果天使拥有的是超越人智慧的美丽，那他看上去是什么样子的呢？他无穷的美是怎样的呢？

Always thinking of if angle’s beautiful is beyond man’s imagination, so if he might not be what man thought like gathered man’s most beautiful look, if he’s beyond all of man’s knowledge, what will he look like, what will he’s great beautiful be like?

He look up, all beyond him is colorful

四季夏-羊的作品

xiaolin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 21:50:52 +0800

“四季-夏女性艺术展”羊的作品，炸弹盒子
几乎做了一个月的盒子，终于见结果可以放松了
Xiaolin’s work on “Four Season – Summer” exhibition, bombs, continue worked for a month, finally relax (*_*)Y

现场照片。比预期的有意思，最好玩的部分是看人的各种pose，一个人看画其他所有人可以看pose，恩..恩..
Photos from the opening. Watch different poses was the most interesting and fun part, one people watch work all the others could watch pose!! Nice~ Nice~

上Pose照！！各种现场被行为。其中还有毛旭辉老师，赚啦赚啦
The pose!! There’s also Mao Xuhui, earned!!

展览作品都用的是老作品，做成灯箱需透过小孔观看。一直被一个问题困扰：羊的作品非常个人，貌似和社会和他人没太大关系，这样的作品怎么能得到人的喜欢呢？做成密闭灯箱后似乎解决了这个问题，人们对其内的作品展现出非常大的好奇，窥视的方式就像窥视和深入了解到一个人的内心，而这些图们就正是羊的心，如果说它们和外部环境没有关系，那是绝对错误的，只能说这样的联系并不是显而易见的，而窥视的方式或许能够促使人多思考片刻。
All the works are old works, but I made them to light boxes that people should look in though a small hole. I have been bothered long time by a question that my work seems not have a strong connection with society and others, how to fond this kind of works value and how to show it’s value? the light box, a hermetic space seems solved this question, people shows a great curiousness to it, the way of look at the work is like peep into one’s heart, and these pictures are just my heart, it’s not not have connection with the world, you just can say the connection or the link is not so obvious, the way of look at the work maybe could help people think more and look at them more carefully.

致云南的女性艺术家
文/孙国娟
我们为期四年的展览计划走过了寒冬走过了春天，现在来到了第三年的夏天。
夏天一直都在我的心里面，昆明的夏天是四季中我最喜欢的季节，有时候我们说她是雨季，是的，因为常常下雨，让昆明的夏天有了说不出的美丽，空气因雨而清新，道路因为下雨变成了深色，土地也因为雨而滋润，树木此时也从嫩绿变成了深绿，悠悠扬扬的，女孩在夏天穿着漂亮的衣裙走来走去，花儿在不停的盛开，还有菌子，那是只有在夏天的雨后才有的山珍美味，是夏天的好滋味，如果下雨的时候我们可以坐在花园或者荷塘的边上，听雨的声音，那么这就是雨季最让人陶醉的时间，雨的声音有种魔力，能让一颗纷乱的心变得宁静，每当夜晚来临如果你在郊外，那么银河就会洒满夜空，有时会有一颗流星神秘的划过天际。
在我的心里，那刻骨铭心的邂逅，就应该是发生在夏天的，也许就因为这个，我把夏天看成了爱情的季节。

Introduction – Four Seasons: Summer
By TCG Nordica

The creations and exhibitions of Four Seasons, Yunnan Artist Group Exhibition, are based on the seasons: Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall. Planned by Sun Guojuan, Four Seasons is a series of four exhibitions to take place annually for four years. Beginning with Winter in 2009 and continuing to Spring in 2010, the theme of this year’s exhibition will be Summer. Each exhibition gathers the most excellent artists in Yunnan, be they residents of or travelers to the province, and presents their newest work. The purpose of the Four Seasons Project is to increase the cohesiveness of Yunnan female artists, to encourage persistent creativity, and connect with a wide audience.
This exhibition, Four Seasons: Summer, focuses on the season of winter. The artists express their individual sentiments, life experiences, and human-nature relationship with works ranging from oil painting to hand-made installations. As the artists realize their art they give us the chance to encounter a pleasant summer in the midst of this frigid winter.
This exhibition will feature the newest works by 33 artists in the forms of oil painting, installation, photography and others. Because there will be some 100 works, Four Seasons: Summer will be divided into two exhibitions. The first half will have a reception on December 9th at 8PM and the second half will have a reception on December 30th at 8PM.

Four Seasons: Summer
By Sun Guojuan

Our planned four year exhibition has passed through Winter and Spring. We have now come to the third year, the year of Summer.
Summer has always been dear to my heart; it is my favorite of Kunming’s four seasons. During Kunming’s summer, rain is so common that we often call summer the rainy season. This rain gives Kunming an indescribably beauty. It cleans the air, it moistens the soil, and it refreshes the trees, turning them from a tender to a deep shade of resounding green. In summer, girls come and go wearing their beautiful outfits, the flowers are always blooming, and the mushrooms are sprouting, full of the delicate flavor of summer air after a light shower. Sitting in a garden or on the banks of a river when it rains, listening to the sound of the falling drops, this is the pinnacle of rainy season revelry. The sound of rain has a kind of magic that can turn chaotic hearts tranquil. Whenever the night draws near and you find yourself on the outskirts of the city, you will find the Milky Way is sprinkled across the night sky. At times you will see a shooting star dash across the horizon.
There is a chance encounter etched into my bones and carved into my heart, one that can only occur during summer. Perhaps it is because I have always regarded summer as the season of love.

只是想像一朵向阳花

xiaolin — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 22:28:58 +0800

某日下午接到小姨电话，说是银行招工，86的我条件可能是最后一次机会进入银行系统。小姨十万火急，专业严重偏差的我还需要很多关系才有可能。晚上小姨又电话催急，被我拒绝后小姨认为我严重的不可理喻，银行系统稳定，虽然工作辛苦但不像现在工作没日没夜不稳定且累的慌，小姨说我不懂自己是在吃青春饭，她说你想想到了年纪有几个还撑得住像你这样,你给我说你现在拿多少工资，你不想银行是你多少倍，难道一辈子这样混吗？……… 小姨激动得很，最后谈话上升至人格和家庭，小姨说：你怎么这么怪，你不想家付出这么多培养你毕业，你是家学历最高的孩子，你难道这么不懂事，你怎么越来越怪？

最后我不得不以“如果进入银行工作三个月后一定跳楼自杀”来结束这次谈话，小姨说我是威胁她，我解释这是实打实的真话和可能情形，而小姨愤愤的，仍然没能听懂。

挂了电话，我哭了，我觉得自己神智不清，嗓子也开始不舒服。

我知道你们的急，可是你知道吗，喜欢画画的那一个我长大的25年里却从未有人关心。

我的挣扎从未有人知道。

的确很累，工作两年来一直在减重，现在的体重已经需要看医生了。

但是我以我的方式在生活，我很高兴得到梦寐之中的所有，你知道自由的感觉吗？只有在追寻呼唤时才能得到的自由。

我对自己所做的事情感到自豪，如果所有人都只想进银行这个社会会是非常恐怖的，你知道这个匆忙看似平静的城市表面下隐藏了多少人的无知和蒙昧，你知道多少人的灵魂需要唤醒和拯救？我觉得自己很幸运，不是所有人都有幸体会这种焦虑。你知道我所做的事情需要投身，很多人都坚持不下去了，因为它很难和很累。你知道我在做的事情只有一小部分人在做，我们的力量太小，一个人的时间精力有限，而我们群体的人数屈指可数。

谢谢你的担心，但是你的担心不是指责我的选择，我需要你给我力量。

我曾经说过这个世界上很多孩子像珍珠一样散落，他们都是会发出温润光亮的宝贝，但如果不加以呵护和打磨，珍珠将会变得平庸，这个世界也随之失去了存在的精彩。

请不要指责我，请给我力量。我生到这个世界只是想做一朵向阳花。

Just want to be a sunflower

One afternoon I get a phone call from my ant, she says the bank she’s working at is recruiting new people, it might be the last change for me to get into bank, cause it’s their last time recruit my age’s employee, she’s very anxious cause I graduated from the major Japanese that is very far from the people bank will interest to, then she might need to help get a lot of “guanxi”（relationship）to make me work in bank. Then that night I get her call again even I already refused her and said “I don’t want to work in bank”, she thinks I’m hardly to understand, out of all reason, working in bank this kind of system is stable way of living, is hard but much much more easy if compare with the work I’m doing now, she says I’m eating and living by my youth now, but when time past by how many people can still hold on like this? She ask”how much salary do you get? If you never thought about working in bank you get times of salary than what you get now, you will also much more easier get a stable boyfriend, you want to roll over your time like this for your life?”…….then our talking becomes the talk of my personality and my family relationship, she says”I never see somebody such strange, your family tried hard to support you go to collage, you never think of them, you are the child who get the highest degree of the hole family, but you still don’t understand things, why you become more and more strange?”

In the end I only can end this talk by”if I will work in bank I will suicide during three month”, because she’s so passion wants to talk me over, she says I’m threatening her, but she don’t understand I’m trying to say a thing really could happen.

I cried after put down the phone, I feel my mind start to be unclear and my throat feel bad.

I thanks the people who think for me a lot, but, do you know that I love paint a lot but no one ever care about me during the 25 years.

My struggling, nobody know, nobody care.

Yes, I’m very tied from my work, I’ve continue loosing weight during this two years’ working.

But I’m living by my way, I’m happy I get the life that I never dare dream about, do you know the feeling of freedom？The freedom you can only get when you are chasing your calling?

I’m proud of what I’m I doing, if everybody all just want to get into bank, the society will be a very terrible society, can you see under the busy and peaceful surface of the city it hidden how many people’s blind and ignorant, you know how many soul anxiously need to be save and wake up? I feel I’m very lucky, not so many people can feel this kind of anxious. You know, the thing that I’m working with need commit yourself into it, it’s hard, so many people already failed in consist, you know there’s only few people working on it, we are so few people already, each single person’s time and energy’s limited, the work’s huge, there’s great need from this city.

Thank you for think for me, but the “think” is not blame me not choose bank, I need your support and give me power.

I said before, there’s many children like pearls fall into corners of this big world, they all could shine and it will be very warm and soft shining light, but they might need caring, otherwise they will become indifferent, boring and common, then the world will loose it’s wonderful part of being a world.

So, please give me power, I born to this world just want to be a flower always can chase the sun.
