本次杭州艺术家陆磊的多媒体艺术展名为“浮冰记”。艺术家创作的材料来源广泛,包括视听、取暖、制冷、石油,以及各种其他行业的设备,这些设备都是全球贸易商品市场中随处可见的,而“浮冰记”这个标题就是对这个过程诗意而内省的描述。冰其实本质上就是水,不过是改变了形式的水。艺术家以冰为喻,不光暗示艺术多变的性质,同时还指向艺术家作品那种本体论的模糊性,这种模糊性很好地体现在《乌云》这件作品中。借用一个压缩机,《乌云》为观众展示水从结冰、雾化,一直到消散而尽的全过程。“浮冰记”中的“浮”字,暗指一种介于天和地、内和外、本土和全球之间的混合状态。这种混合状态使艺术家能够以一种独特的视角去审视和批判我们的世界,以及在其中上演的种种阴谋诡计。

Floating Ice Biography is a solo multimedia exhibition by Hangzhou-based artist Lu Lei. It takes its title from a poetic, self-reflexive description of the myriad materials the artist employs culled from visual and aural electronics, heating, refrigeration, petroleum, and many other industries that are staples of the global trading commodities market. Ice, which by nature is water in a different form, is a metaphor for not only the transformative nature of art, but many of Lu’s works have a kind of ontological elasticity such as Cloud, for example. This work includes a compressor that freezes, condenses and dissipates water in front of the viewer. As per flotation, this word that also constitutes part of exhibition’s title allude to a hybrid condition between the terrestrial and celestial, earth and heaven, inside and outside, and the local and the global that offers the artist a unique vantage point from which to purview and comment on the world and its machinations.
