策展人语
CURATORIAL STATEMENT



陶瓷作为一种物质和艺术创作的媒介,在土与火的燃点中,具有不可预测的自然奥秘,也有取之不尽的能量。挪威艺术家托比恩·卡瓦斯博始终通过陶瓷材料和触手塑造,将他对自然、生命的感受沉淀为陶瓷的底色,构成了他在物质与视觉文化上对陶瓷艺术不断思考、转化和实验的抽象形态。

以“附体”为主题的这次展览,指涉的是一个人的身体,除了灵魂以外,还有被其它灵魂体所依附和占据的含意。而托比恩·卡瓦斯博的“附体”就是他艺术的“魔法“,或作为一种艺术的灵魂附着、栖身于他形而上的轮廓与平衡。他曾说:“我开始熟悉那些我无法掌控的力量,以及我灵魂中间无法预计的元素。”

他在这些“管状雕塑”和“堆”系列参展作品中,与其说是来自生命液体的容器或身体内部的管道系统,不如说是躯体的螺旋上升,如同他不断脱胎换骨之后的一次次涅槃重生。或许我们可以透过他对陶土的拿捏、扭曲和堆栈,在拖来拖去的肉身之上,灵魂出窍般地抽离出当代人的困惑和不安。

冯博一、谭红宇


As a material and medium for art, ceramics possesses unpredictable natural mysteries and inexhaustible energy when earth meets fire. To Norwegian artist Torbjørn Kvasbø, hand modelling ceramics has always been the means to channel his perceptions of nature and life into the ceramic undertones, shaping the abstract basis of his continuous contemplation, transformation and experimentation with ceramic art in the realm of material and visual culture.

“Dependence” in the context of this exhibition alludes to the concept of a person's body being occupied and attached not only by their soul but also by other soul-like entities. Torbjørn Kvasbø's "dependence" works as the "magic" of his art, serving as a spiritual attachment and dwelling within the metaphysical contours and balance of his work. As he puts it, "I get to know more of the forces over which I have no control and the incalculable elements in my inner being."

Instead of resembling containers of life fluids or vessels of internal bodies, Torbjørn Kvasbø’s works of cylindric tubes as well as those of the Stacked series represent more like a spiraling ascension of the body, akin to a recurring rebirth after continuous transformation. Perhaps, by looking closely at how he models, twists and stacks the clay we can extract the perplexities and insecurity of contemporary life, much like detaching our souls from our physical selves that are manipulated back and forth.

物质是一种被束缚的能量。陶瓷作为艺术创作的材料,在土与火的燃烧中,具有取之不尽的能量。将束缚的物质能量转化为一种艺术表达,也就意味着艺术家对物质与视觉文化的敏感与认知,以及导致在创作观念、媒介和方法上的不断递进、更迭的抽象化过程,抑或也是一种矛盾和抵抗的结果。

托比恩·卡瓦斯博通过他的“手艺”,触摸到了形而上的轮廓,并将自然、生命的体悟沉淀为陶瓷底色,赋予了陶瓷物质和视觉上朴素、直接力量,构成了他对陶瓷艺术思考、转化和实验的多维形态。

为此,我们在“附体——托比恩·卡瓦斯博作品展”开幕之际,举办一场题为“束缚的能量”的“对话·座谈”活动,邀请了解托比恩·卡瓦斯博的创作和关注陶瓷艺术的同仁一起展开讨论与交流,希望美院师生以及来自珠三角的观众可以更为深入地体会艺术家的创作和当代陶瓷艺术。

Materials is a form of bound energy. Ceramics, as a material for artistic creation, possesses inexhaustible energy through the combustion of earth and fire. Transforming bound material energy into an artistic expression requires sensitivity and cognition from the artist towards materials and visual culture, as well as the abstract process that leads to continuous progression, iteration, and experimentation in creative concepts, media, and methods, which may also result in contradictions and resistance.

Through his ‘craftsmanship’, Torbjørn Kvasbø touches upon metaphysical contours and precipitates his understanding of nature and life into the foundation of ceramics. This imbues ceramics with a simple and direct power in both material and visual aspects, constituting the multidimensional forms of his thoughts, transformation, and experimentation with ceramic art.

To this end, prior to the opening of “Dependence: A Solo Exhibition of Torbjørn Kvasbø”, we are organising a “Conversation-Talk: Bound Energy” session, bringing together like-minded people who understand Torbjørn Kvasbø's work and have an interest in ceramic art for some discussions and exchanges. It is hoped that faculty and students of GAFA, as well as audiences from the Pearl River Delta, will join us for a deeper understanding of the artist's work and the wider contemporary ceramic art.
