2014年3月22日，M艺术空间与芥菜籽空间迎来双展览同时开幕，荣幸呈现十二位当代艺术家群展《Song》以及新锐艺术家章佩芸个展《看日落的人》，展览从2014年3月22日持续将至4月21日。

中国自古有颂——颂天地，颂自然，颂情谊，而整个西方文明史中所浸吟的Song文化，从不同的地域发出，却终将在同一个国度会合。对自然的敬畏，对生命的思考，对未知的寻求，对理想的盼望……当艺术家把这些内心升腾的呼喊掷向广袤的天际，却能听到另一种回音。再回望时，似乎自身的颂咏已经是这种回音引发的反应。音波之间的震颤互动，从远古已经生成，人与天地已经有如此密切深厚的联系。《颂 Song》展览表达了这种美妙的关系，浓缩了各个领域，不同媒介创作的艺术家，涵盖架上绘画、照片综合媒体、雕塑、装置、首饰设计、影像等丰富的创作形式，力图综合呈现艺术家们微妙、和声的世界观。

而毗邻的芥菜籽空间致力于培育新生艺术家。本次展出的五个影像和一件装置作品，带我们看见章佩芸对光的初次探索。意识的流动贯穿了所有作品，章佩芸试图融合日常的感官经验与形而上的概念探索，既“向上”又“向内”。光，是个古老的话题。她循着巴赫、梵高、安德烈塔可夫斯基他们重叠的足迹，感受着这光至上的精神内核，静默而不语。在当代艺术过分彰显自我的年代，章佩芸的作品显出一种超越年龄的沉静，正是这样的沉静包裹住她诗性的浪漫主义。

“日光之下并无新事”。在万物复苏的春天，两个展览，一种思考——如何在有限的时间内去丈量现实世界和理想国度之间的经度与纬度。作为一个发问者，我们邀请您观展与共。

On 22 March, M Art Center and Mustard Seed Space are pleased to embrace a dual opening, by which SONG, a group exhibition of twelve contemporary artists, and All the Way to Sunset, a solo of emerging artist Zhang Peiyun will be presented. Both of the exhibitions will be on view from 22 March to 21 April 2014.

In ancient Chinese culture, songs are for the heaven and the earth, for the nature and for friendship. In the western civilizations, the Song culture merges from various locations, but leads finally to the same place.  The respect to the nature, the meditation of life, the pursuit of unknown, the longing for the ideal… … all these inner yelling are thrown to the vast universe by our artists, which echo in a different way. Look again, it seems that the song itself has become the response of the echo. Since antiquity, the resonance and interaction of the waves have formed, in which man and the universe has formed such a close connection. Song displays this beautiful relationship by summarizing artists from various fields, with different media, including oil on canvas, photo-multi media, sculpture, installation, jewelry design, video, etc. The rich forms of arts here are to present a subtle but harmonious world perspectives of the artists.

The nearby Mustard Seed Space is devoted to be a nest of emerging artists. This time, by displaying five videos and an installation, it showcases Zhang Peiyun’s initial exploration of light. With the consciousness flowing throughout her works, Zhang aims to merge the sense of daily experience with search of the metaphysical concepts. Therefore, her works are both ways upwards and inwards. Light, a theme since the ancient times, has inspired Bach, Van Gogh and Tarkovsky on their way of art. Tracing the overlapped footprints on this road, Zhang Peiyun is bathing in the spirit of light, which is the greatness in silence. Compared to the over self-centered art in this era, works of Zhang Peiyun reveals a sense of calmness which is beyond her age and wrapped the poetic romanticism in her.

 “Nothing under the sun is truly new”. In this spring revive, two exhibitions are of one thought - how to measure the in-between of the real world and the ideal land. As one of those who raise the question, we invite you to view the exhibition with us.
