“徐冰天书号”——艺术新场域的实践

如果“太空艺术”的定义是一种人类通过想象力，用绘画或数字媒体为创作方法来描绘并探索太空的艺术形式，那么“航天艺术”则可被定义为一种寻求与外太空直接互动的艺术。

之前的艺术家从未将火箭视为作品的一部分，而只是将其作为一种将作品送往现场的运输工具。“徐冰天书号”将火箭本身视作作品的重要部分，历史上，徐冰也是第一个将火箭本身及它整体的运作过程设想为具有多面性的当代艺术品的艺术家。徐冰以其激进而有条理的思维方式，通过理解其各种表述的意义、本质和可能性，一定程度上对“航天艺术”进行了全新的探索。

If Space Art defines an art form that depicts and explores space through imagination, in painting, or using digital media, astronautical art determines an art that seeks to interact directly with outer space.

The previous artists never considered the rocket as a part of the work but only as a vehicle to transport artworks into outer space. “Xu Bing Tianshu” changed space art in its foundations in considering the rocket as an essential part of the work. He conceived as the first artist in history the rocket itself, its operations and entire process, as an artwork with multiple faces. With his radical and methodical mindset, Xu Bing explored astronautical art by understanding the meaning, essence and possible scope of its various articulations.

“Xu Bing Tianshu” became something much more than an artwork. It became a statement about the world, engaging multiple viewpoints, of the visible and the invisible. But with a total perspective. Xu Bing conceptually and practically merged the highest level of result-oriented and intelligible science with the articulated unintelligibility of art. The first representing logic and praxis, the second questioning it through its own conceptual unintelligibility.

In this lecture, Senior Curator and Senior Researcher of Red Brick Art Museum Jonas Stampe will analyze “Xu Bing Tianshu” Rocket, a work that he means has deeply impacted Space Art, as well as the milestone exhibition “Xu Bing: Art Beyond the Karman Line”. Through the discussion, we hope to stimulate new explorations and thinkings in this new field of art.
