池社新展：皮埃尔•于热——来自薛冰的收藏
开幕：2018年3月24日下午三点
展期：2018年3月24日-5月31日
地址：池社（上海徐汇区龙腾大道2555-4号）
新世纪当代艺术基金会非常荣幸地宣布将在池社举办法国观念艺术家皮埃尔•于热的国内首个个展。艺术家擅长在创作中融合影像、环境、情境、雕塑及音乐等不同媒介及领域，极大拓展了关于当代艺术的想象和定义，挑战了既有的展览模式，塑造了全新的叙事及表达方式。这些独具“关系美学”的作品既关注了普遍而重要的社会问题，又不乏纯粹的诗意瞬间。艺术家卓越的跨界创作的才能为其赢得了广泛的国际声誉。
皮埃尔•于热：回顾展 洛杉矶郡艺术博物馆 （2015）
此次展览将展出皮埃尔•于热近年最具代表性的两件作品：《寒武纪大爆发No.15 》（Cambrian Explosion 15）和《未耕种》（A Way in Untilled）。在艺术家创造的环境、生态或称事件中， 人类、动物、植物、单细胞生物甚至病毒以及科技相互依存并互动，将观众带离人类中心主义的处境和执见。
皮埃尔•于热在2010年开始创作生态水族馆系列，《寒武纪生命大爆发No.15》就属于该系列。在地质学上，“寒武纪生命大爆发”指的是在距今约5.3亿年前一个被称为寒武纪的地质历史时期，地球上在2000多万年时间内突然出现了大量门类众多的无脊椎动物。水族箱内，“活化石”马蹄蟹和箭头蟹在沙子与海葵中以未经编排不可预料的方式或埋伏或游走，悬浮在水面上的巨石似乎将观众带回了神秘的远古时代的大陆和海洋，而即使在观众的缺席下水族箱内的生态依旧进行着。“时间”这一概念在此被赋予丰富的涵义，一方面亿万年前的“时间”被悬置在当下；另一方面，作品随着时间的推进，动物、植物甚至微生物在其中运动、变化，周而复始又永不重复。
未耕种 现场项目及视频作品（2011-2012）
2012年皮埃尔•于热参展第十三届卡塞尔文献展，视频作品《未耕种》将观众带到了同名的艺术家现场项目。 在卡塞尔一个公园的堆肥区，艺术家安置了一尊头部位置顶着蜂巢的雕像、一条腿被漆成粉红色的名叫“人类”的伊比利亚猎犬、一片罂粟花 、成群劳作的蚂蚁和蜜蜂及其他元素。白天人类参观者成为这一生态的一部分，而影片主要拍摄了夜间这些自然之物自在相处及变化的状态。镜头下即使是关于水虫的场景，都是浩瀚宇宙的微小缩影。植物和动物而非人类常常成为故事的主角，皮埃尔•于热的作品让我们重新看待世界并思考人类在其中的位置。

Opening: 3pm, March 24th, 2018
Duration: March 24th-May 31th, 2018
Add: Pond Society, No.2555-4, Longteng Avenue, Shanghai
The New Century Art Foundation (NCAF) is very proud to present French conceptual artist Pierre Huyghe’s first solo exhibition in China at Pond Society. The artist has profoundly expanded the parameters of contemporary art with a practice that incorporates a variety of materials and disciplines, including film, environment, situation, sculpture and music. Huyghe's multidisciplinary approach has garnered acclaim for its ability to challenge the exhibition format, conventional forms of representation and accepted narrative models.
The exhibition will feature two works by Pierre Huyghe that exemplify the artist's complex methodology: Cambrian Explosion 15 and A Way in Untilled. Cambrian Explosion 15 (2017-18) belongs to a series of live marine ecosystems in glass tanks, a body of work that Huyghe began in 2010. The title of this piece refers to the appearance in the fossil record of most major animal body plans over 500 million years ago in an evolutionarily 'brief' interval of 20 million years or less. The work presents a scene in which arrow crabs and horseshoe crabs roam among sea anemones and microorganisms. A large stone, improbably suspended, breaks the surface of the water; it is as if time itself were suspended in the space of the aquarium. As the crabs craft unscripted and unpredictable narratives the work itself changes and evolves, continuing to play out in the viewer's absence without ever repeating itself.
Huyghe's film work A Way in Untilled (2012) transports the viewer to Huyghe’s Untilled (2012), which premiered at the 2012 edition of Documenta in Kassel, Germany. In A Way in Untilled Huyghe translates his Documenta presentation into an otherworldly film. Shot at twilight, it alternates between ambient sounds—the buzzing of bees, the rustling of grass—and silence. It presents several levels of the ecosystem through close-ups of worms and aquatic life, shots of 'Human', an Ibizan hound with a magenta-colored leg, gnawing at an animal carcass and scenes of ants dragging their eggs to safety. The film terminates with a close-up of aquatic organisms that resembles the night sky, a tiny microcosm that appears to reflect back the vastness of the cosmos. As with Cambrian Explosion 15, the inclusion of plants and animals in this work blurs the lines between subject and object, producing a condition that the artist has described as 'undetermined'.
Born in Paris in 1962, Huyghe studied at Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris from 1982 – 1985. Huyghe has been celebrated internationally with solo exhibitions at venues including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Tate Modern, London; the Guggenheim Museum, New York; and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. He has also featured in major international group shows including the Biennale of Sydney, the Whitney Biennial and the Venice Biennial, where in 2001 he represented France. Most recently, Huyghe participated in the decennial exhibition of public art Skulptur Projekte Münster with the highly regarded speculative ecosystem After ALife Ahead.
In 2017, Huyghe was awarded the Nasher Prize for Sculpture. He was also the recipient of the Kurt Schwitters Prize at The Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany (2015), Roswitha Haftmann Prize in Zurich (2013), the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Contemporary Artist Award (2010), the Hugo Boss Prize (2002), the Special Jury Prize awarded by 49th Venice Biennale (2001) and received the DAAD Artist in Residence grant in Berlin (1999 – 2000).
