李燎 | 艺术是真空

                
                
开幕：2013年09月07日 4PM
展期：2013年09月07日 - 11月17日
《艺术是真空》是李燎在北京的首次个展。在以往的行为作品中，艺术与生活的边界并非被李燎有意的模糊，而是从一种无法厘清的状态中置换出原本的真实。
 
《艺术是真空》将展出艺术家的两件近作。与展题同名的霓虹灯作品，源自一场发生于日常生活中的争吵，文字内容提示一种暂时无法逃离的生活阴影。而另一件作品《马拉松》，李燎将在开幕现场实施一次四小时的行为表演，作为对目的与意义的一种回应。
 
李燎，1982年生于湖北，2005年毕业于湖北美术学院。现生活和工作在深圳。入选2013年Hugo Boss亚洲艺术大奖，并即将在上海外滩美术馆展出。
Vacuum is Li Liao's first solo exhibition in Beijing. In his past performance works, the boundaries between art and life were not obscured intentionally by the artist, but rather replaced by the original reality out of an unclarifiable state.
 
Art Is Vacuum features two of the artist’s recent works: the titular neon light work, originated from a daily-life quarrel, illustrates texts prompting a temporarily inescapable shadow of life; and "Marathon", of which Li Liao will enact a four-hour long performance at the opening as a response to objectives and meanings.
 
Born in Hubei in 1982, graduated from Hubei Institute of Fine Arts in 2005, Li Liao currently lives and worksin Shenzhen. LiLiao has been nominated in HUGO BOSS Asia Art Award and will be soon shown in Rockbund Art Museum.
