流动的时间

2022年8月8日-9月5日，独立映像艺术空间推出群展《流动的时间》。

奥地利哲学家阿尔曼·阿瓦尼斯安认为，“后当代的基本论点是时间处于变化之中。我们不仅生活在一个新的时代或者说加速的时代，而且时间本身——时间的方向——也发生了变化。我们不再拥有线性的时间。线性的时间意味着，过去之后是现在，现在之后是未来；恰恰相反，未来发生在当下，时间由未来而至。”

这意味着在这个新时代，时间是流动的，不再是由过去发展到现在、由现在发展到未来的渐进。时间的流动性意味着边界的模糊，不被划分，没有具体的定义。那么在这样的时间下，艺术家如何设想未来？如何看待历史？如何创造意想不到的叙述和关联，讲述不为人知的故事？甚至如何把时间作为艺术媒介，解读此时此刻正在体验的生活？

Images of Women

From May 1, 2022 to June 5, 2022, Independent & Image Art Space is glad to present a group exhibition “Images of Women”.

In 1971, the American art historian Linda Nochlin published an article Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists, which was regarded as a pioneering work in feminist art history and art theory, and made a great influence. Now, about 50 years later, when we ask this question again, what answers pop into people’s minds?

Today’s society discusses women’s social identities, not only about equality and empowerment, but also about the potential changes that women’s creativity can bring to the world. In this exhibition, we hope to listen to the voices of women and to know their views on themselves, society, and the world.

At the same time, this is not an exhibition only for female artists. We embrace diversity in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, belief, age, etc. We hope to see the images of women made by different groups of people, and to understand how they view women and the roles women play in our world.

As Nochlin said in the article: “Rather, using as a vantage point their situation as underdogs in the realm of grandeur, and outsiders in that of ideology, women can reveal institutional and intellectual weaknesses in general, and, at the same time that they destroy false consciousness, take part in the creation of institutions in which clear thought—and true greatness—are challenges open to anyone, man or woman, courageous enough to take the necessary risk, the leap into the unknown.”
