站台中国很荣幸的向您宣布，我们将于2016年10月29日呈现艺术家杨茂源个展，展览将持续至12月10日。策展人鲍栋以主题“相形”（Eidos）来提示他的工作，即“不对世界做形式与内容的二元区分，而始终把存在把握为一种整体。”
 
策展人鲍栋认为，杨茂源的艺术一直在诉求某种不可被兑换性，不能被解释、不可被归类，无法被安排进既定的艺术话语及意义系统中，换句话说，他诉求的是一种绝对的异质性。异质性是一种不可被包括社会系统在内的任何系统体制化的存在，这正是前卫艺术的核心，但在杨茂源这里，他诉求是一种带有本体论性质的异质性，而不是时间延异或政治现场中的差异性。他的工作就是追溯或探寻这种异质性的过程，他提示又消除语境，暴露又遮挡背景，直到那种不可被还原的存在显现出来，通过图形、体积、色彩，或者某种材料或物品，总之是一种原初形式。
 
与哲学的纯粹概念性不同，杨茂源的这些有着考古学色彩的图形所趋向的是一种文化史存在，借用这些个别的图与形，他似乎是在召唤一种普遍的形式，一种不依赖于知识与经验的，数学般自足的存在——属人的但超越了个人，属于文化却已近乎实体。

Platform China is pleased to announce the new exhibition of Yang Maoyuan “Eidos”. The opening reception is on Saturday, October 29, 2016; on view through December 20, 2016. The curator Bao Dong titled exhibition “Eidos”, referring to his work, which implies “He does not divide the world into form and content, but instead alwaysgrasps existence as a whole.”
 
In Bao Dong’s opinion, the art of Yang Maoyuan has always pursued some form of the nonexchangeable, the unexplainable, the unclassifiable, that which cannot be placed into the existing system of artistic discourse and meaning.Heterogeneity is a form of existence that cannot be encompassed in the system of society or be systematized in anyway. This is precisely what lies at the core of avant-garde art, but for Yang Maoyuan, this is a heterogeneity of an ontological nature, rather than temporal discrepancy or political difference. His work is a process of pursuing orprobing this heterogeneity. He references then removes context, reveals then conceals background, until that presence which cannot be restored emerges to beseen. What emerges from these shapes, masses, colors, materials or objects isalways a primal form.
 
Unlike the purely conceptual nature of philosophy, YangMaoyuan’s images with archaeological tones tend instead towards a culturalhistory existence. In employing these different images and shapes, he appearsto be summoning some universal form, an existence that is self-sufficient likemathematics, independent of knowledge or experience—belonging to man, but transcending theindividual, belonging to culture but approaching substantive existence.
