Site-specific installation (acrylic on canvas and wood frames) 
場域特定裝置作品 (布本壓克力和木框)

This work is a site-specific installation and also the continuance of another work --“Painting is painting is painting is painting is … Macao Ox warehouse” which belongs to the same series.

The description of “Painting is painting is painting is painting is … Macao Ox warehouse” is “Painting is painting, is wall, is floor, and is window and window frame. The painting is no longer just handing on the wall, but rather fuses with the building form. The exhibition site has turned into a part of artwork there is an extending mutuality between artwork and exhibition place. The canvas is not any more confined within the frame and is no longer the flat image carrier; it becomes the main visual elements to “draw” the real spatial structure and three-dimensional contour.”

Part of this work stuck originally on Ox warehouse gallery has been adhered again on the wall of Beijing AFA presently. And the rest part is created anew according to the interior structure of AFA Beijing. Therefore, part of this work is similar to other artworks that can move from an exhibition venue to another. That means, it has a mobility of showing in different spaces (This is our understanding of the paintings in general). However, the other parts tailor make afresh according to the characteristic of individual space, establishing a relationship with a particular place, which is so-called a site-specific artwork. This creation way implicates the concept of same series – all kinds of boundaries and semantics of art creations and media are blurred.

    這是一件場地特定的裝置作品也是同一系列中另一作品《畫是畫是畫是畫是澳門牛房倉庫》的延續。

《畫是畫是畫是畫是澳門牛房倉庫》是這樣描述:「畫是畫、是牆、是地面、是窗也是窗框。作品不再只是掛在展場的牆上,而是與展場的建築構成融合。展場成為展品的一部份,是一種作品和展場之間互相延伸的概念。畫布不再被侷限在畫框的範圍內,不再是平面的圖像載體,更成為“描繪”真實的空間結構和立體輪廓的主要視覺元素。

在牆面上的一部分作品原貼於澳門牛房倉庫展覽廳的,現再貼於北京全藝社。而作品其餘部份是以全藝社展場的室內結構再創作的。所以這個作品的其中一部分像一般藝術品一樣,可由一個展場移到另一展場,即是擁有可以於不同場地展示的移動性(這是我們對一般繪畫作品的理解)。然而,其他部分就會以個別空間的特質重新創作,與某一特定地方建立關係,就是所謂的場地特定性。而這種創作手段蘊涵著同系列作品的概念──模糊對藝術創作和媒體各種語意和界限。
