本期的没顶美术馆驻地访问艺术家是刘成瑞。刘成瑞的创作以身体为核心,通过行动、表演、绘画和写作凸显对生命意志的坚守和超越。
表演现场艺术家的身体与环境紧密相连:植物、飞鸟、天空、观众、废弃的厂房、沉默的承受中的身体,一起经历时间的流逝,太阳由日中直至日落。这也是刘成瑞继2013年A4当代艺术中心(成都)行为表演“虎口”之后的再一次行动。
没顶美术馆访问艺术家驻留计划(MVAIR)促进研究并支持艺术家的创作过程。为期2个月的驻留为艺术家们提供了宝贵的时间和空间资源,用于开放式的调查、实验和合作,以推动他们自己的实践边界。该计划以促进艺术创作的新方法,为艺术生态建设的多样性提供催化剂为宗旨。
The current MVAIR artist is Liu Chengrui. Liu Chengrui’s creations revolve around the body, highlighting the perseverance and transcendence of the will to live through action, performance, painting, and writing.
The artist’s body during live performances is closely intertwined with the environment: plants, flying birds, the sky, the audience, abandoned factory buildings, and bodies silently bearing witness as they experience the passing of time from noon until sunset. This is also Liu Chengrui’s second action since the 2013 “Tiger’s Mouth” performance at the A4 Contemporary Arts Center in Chengdu.
MadeIn Visiting Artist in Residence (MVAIR) Program promotes research and supports artists in their creative process. The two-month residency provides artists with valuable resources of time and space for open-ended investigation, experimentation, and collaboration to push back their own practical boundaries. The program aims to facilitate new methodologies of artistic creation and offer a catalyst for the diversity of art ecology.

万火归一,2023 行为装置 砖瓦、诗歌 尺寸可变
作品名称源自胡利奥·科塔萨尔(Julio Cortázar)小说集《万火归一》。小说中的“火”既是埋葬古罗马文明的谢幕演出,也是工业时代人们支离破碎生活的挽歌。这件作品中的“火”也有着相似的隐喻,照耀着已成为废墟的厂房;彩色的诗稿指向艺术家经幡下的童年,而用锉刀打磨驻地自然掉落的砖瓦片尖锐的部分涂上白色,归为“一”,也是劳作和结果。所选58首诗歌写于没顶美术馆驻地期间。视频记录了刘成瑞在夜晚用锉刀打磨掉废弃瓦片尖锐部分的过程。观众可以阅读并带走散落在地上的彩色诗稿。
Todos los Fuegos el Fuego,Performance Installation,Tiles, poems,Dimension variable,2023
The title of the work is derived from Julio Cortázar’s novel collection “All Fires the Fire”. The “fire” in the novel is both a curtain call for the burial of ancient Roman civilization and an elegy for the fragmented lives of people in the industrial age. The “fire” in this work has a similar metaphor, illuminating the ruined factory. The colorful poem manuscript points to the artist’s childhood under the prayer flags. In the meantime, the artist polished the sharp parts of the naturally fallen tiles at the museum residency with a file, then painted them white, namely, to make all tiles the Tile, “all fires (todos los fuegos)” the “Fire (Fuego)”, to unify, to put labor into result. The 58 selected poems were written during the residency at MadeIn Art Museum.The video documents Liu’s process of grinding off the sharp parts of the discarded tiles with a file at night.The audience can read and take away the colorful poems scattered on the floor.
