站台中国很荣幸地向您宣布，我们将于2017年6月16日呈现艺术家王恩来个展“临时关系”。作为王恩来在站台中国的首个展览，此次展览将首次展出多件艺术家最新创作的装置作品。展期将持续至7月22日。

“我并不在乎材料本身的符号含义，而是更加重视物质属性的内在逻辑，使之脱离原本的功能语境，在互相干预之下生成新的关系。”王恩来说。

王恩来的创作材料主要来源于生活中的现成品。现成品作为工业社会的产品天然地带有符号意义，然而艺术家的作品弱化了材料的社会符号性而从物理层面切入关注于物质材料本身的特性。作品中的现成品一一组合，形成悖论式的绝配，这种绝配体现着构成意义上的临时性的关系。而媒介本身的物质特性引发的消解趋势终将使这一意识形态的临时关系付诸外化实践。此次展览中，电风扇、轮胎、玻璃、灯泡......这些现成品在艺术逻辑中被解构和重组，而形成不同维度、不同意义上的“临时关系”。

王恩来，1989年生于辽宁大连，现工作及生活于北京。2016年硕士毕业于中央美术学院雕塑系，曾获得艺术8中国青年艺术家奖。近年主要个展包括：《临时关系——王恩来个展》站台中国当代艺术机构，北京，中国（2017）；《动静——王恩来个人作品展》，艺术8，北京，中国（2015）。近年群展包括：《另一种选择－第三届今日文献展》，今日美术馆，北京，中国（2016）；《空间协商:没想到你是这样的》第三届CAFAM双年展，中央美术学院美术馆，北京，中国（2016）；《第三届中国国际装置艺术论坛暨装置艺术展》，今日美术馆，北京，中国（2016）；《枪与玫瑰——中国当代艺术展》，波茨坦艺术空间，德国（2016）；《墙势力——首届墙报艺术家展》，今日美术馆，北京，中国(2016)；《现在将来时，波恩当代艺术馆》，德国（2015）；《移动｜驿动—— 从中国青年艺术的现实表征到香港相遇后的改变》，Kll美术馆，香港，中国（2015）。

Wang Enlai : Temporary Relation

Artist | Wang Enlai

Reception | 2017.6.16 4pm

Duration | 2017.6.16 - 7.22

Venue | Platform China Contemporary Art Institute (D07 Main 2nd Street, 798 Art District, No.2 Jiuxianqiao Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, China)

PLATFORM CHINA is honored to announce the inaugural solo exhibition of Wang Enlai, featuring the newest installation works of the artist. The exhibition will be on view from 16, June to 22, July.

“What I care about is, instead of the symbolic meaning of the materials, the inner logic of the physical characteristics of the materials which can isolate the materials from the original functional context and generate a new relationship in the materials within their mutual interaction.” said Wang Enlai.

Most of Wang Enlai’s creation materials are ready-made things. Ready-made thing inherently bears symbolic meaning. Nevertheless, works of the artist weakened the symbolic meaning of the material, while focused on the physical characteristics of the essence of the material. The ready-made things in his works are paired up into paradoxical perfect matches. This kind of perfect match represents a constructional temporary relation. On the other hand, the physical characteristics endow the works with a tendency of collapsing which will finally make this ideological temporary relation realized. In this exhibition, fan, tire, glass, bulb…these ready-made things are deconstructed and reconstructed, and hereby formed “temporary relation” in different dimensions and different meanings.

Wang Enlai was born in Dalian, Liaoning Province, China in 1968. He Graduated from the Sculpture Department of China Central Academy of Fine Arts with a master’s degree, Won the Prize YISHU 8-China.
