《旷野之外》展览丨中国佛山丨和美术馆与艺术家共同策划

2024 年 11 月 10 日起，和美术馆（HEM）呈现博斯科·索迪（Bosco Sodi）迄今为止于亚洲举办的最大规模个展“旷野之外”。展览由和美术馆与艺术家共同策划，展示艺术家涵盖绘画、雕塑及场域特定装置等在内的的百余件作品。展览将索迪的作品置于和美术馆建筑内外，通过地域、空间与作品的互动重新诠释艺术家取材自然旷野，以身体的介入将天然物质升华的创作哲学。

From November 10, 2024, He Art Museum (HEM) will present Bosco Sodi’s largest solo exhibition in Asia. Co-curated by the artist and HEM, the exhibition will span three floors of the museum, presenting over 100 works from the artist’s career including paintings, sculptures and site-specific installations.

博斯科·索迪 1970 年生于墨西哥城，其后旅居巴黎、巴塞罗那及日本等地，现工作生活于纽约及墨西哥瓦哈卡。索迪的作品以木屑、黏土与火山岩为材料，从天然物质的粗粝与原始中发掘自然的能量。他的大型单色木屑画及黏土雕塑仅以双手创作，不借用任何工具。创作中的身体由此成为材料与精神间的导体，为平凡的物质注入灵韵。在近期的实践中，艺术家以鲜明的彩色或纯金直接为火山岩及黏土雕塑上釉，使厚重的天然材料呈现不存在于自然的色泽，仿佛古玛雅文明的石碑一般显现出超越时间的神性。

Bosco Sodi (b. 1970, Mexico City) reveals the emotive power embodied in the essential simplicity of raw material. The artist is known for his richly textured, vividly colored large-scale sawdust paintings and sculptures made from clay and volcanic rocks. Greatly influenced by the aesthetic philosophy of Wabi Sabi, Sodi focuses on material exploration, the creative gesture, and the spiritual connection between the artist and his work. His stylistic influences range from Art Informel, looking to artists such as Antoni Tàpies and Jean Dubuffet, to master colorists such as Willem de Kooning and Mark Rothko, and the bright hues of Mexico.

Rendered in powerful, saturated hues, Sodi’s paintings blend raw pigment with sawdust, wood, pulp, natural fibers, and glue to create their dense surfaces. As the layers of material dry, structures form without the guidance or intervention of the artist. These fissured “landscapes” are both products of the artist’s careful balance of control and chaos, collaborating with the unpredictable forces of our natural world.

此外，崇尚缺陷美的侘寂美学对索迪的创作理念影响颇深。创作过程中的偶然性与时间在作品上留下的痕迹也因此成为其作品极为重要的组成部分。索迪的黏土雕塑大多制作于他位于墨西哥瓦哈卡的工作室，与当地工匠合作，仅以泥土与水、沙混合，手工塑形，在阳光下自然风干后以传统方式烧制而成。每件雕塑均拥有独一无二的肌理与裂隙，并随着时间的流逝与周围环境融合。

Using bare hands and centuries-old techniques, Sodi’s gestures transform the banality of material into the transcendental. His gold and ceramic glazed rock sculptures emanate a powerful physicality and symbolically signify holiness and revelation in the timeless lineage of the ancient Mayan and Aztec stelae. As they are fired, the volcanic rocks metamorphose into sculptural objects that unite geological processes with traditional and contemporary art-making techniques. Sodi’s works are memorials and relics, incarnating his exploration and conversation with materials that come directly from the earth.

受此启发，艺术家将在本次展览中呈现一组于佛山现存最古老的龙窑——南风古灶烧制的场域特定装置。南风古灶龙窑始建于明朝正德年间，是世界上现存年代最为久远，且仍在使用的柴窑之一。该装置由数千件当地粗制陶泥烧制而成的砖块组成。柴烧过程中产生的自然落灰与多变的温度使每件砖块均生成不同的色彩、纹理与釉色。手工技艺与自然材料在此和谐而不失随机的互动正呼应了索迪的创作哲学。

The exhibition will also feature a site-specific installation made by thousands of bricks created entirely by Foshan’s ancient Dragon Kiln Nanfeng (Southerly Wind), named for its dragon-like form as it sprawls along the hillside in the city center. With over 500 years of history, it is one of the oldest kilns still in use worldwide. Making pottery with Dragon Kiln requires meticulous temperature controlled by local artisans, and together with the unpredictable effects of wood ash glaze, each brick is imbued with unique crates, textures and colors. This harmonious yet capricious interplay between human craftsmanship and natural materials develops Sodi’s use of traditional brick kilns in his studios in Oaxaca and Mexico City, perfectly embodying his creative philosophy of process and experimentation. The use of clay bricks also echoes major international installations by the artist including Muro (New York, 2017) and Atlantes (Oaxaca, 2019).

秋雨淋淋，日光变幻。在远离旷野的和美术馆，索迪的作品被置于安藤忠雄所设计的极简主义建筑空间内外，仿佛一座座无字碑，岿然铭记大地与人类逾越千年的共生。

Sodi’s creations will be in dialogue with the minimalist architectural space of He Art Museum designed by Tadao Ando. As the constantly changing natural light casts upon his works, the museum will resemble a temple that celebrates thousands of years of intertwined relationship between human and the earth.

关于艺术家

About Bosco Sodi

博斯科·索迪（Bosco Sodi, b. 1970）以其天然材料创作的大型肌理绘画以及装置作品知名。在材料的本质性以及色彩的单纯性中发掘动人的情感力量。艺术家将自己的创作过程描述为从「有序的混乱」中创造出「完全不可复制的东西」。通过对材料属性和过程性创作的探索，索迪打破并超越观念的壁垒，重塑了艺术家与其作品之间的精神连结。由此，他的作品成为了艺术家与其创作原料之间由对话而产生的记忆与遗留物。索迪的作品在全球重要机构广泛展出。2022 年，基金会 Fondazione dell’Albero d’Oro 在意大利威尼斯的 Palazzo Vendramin Grimani 宫博物馆举办了索迪的个人展览「What Goes AroundComes Around」。同年，美国坦帕的南福罗里达大学博物馆呈现了艺术家的个人展览「Básico」。2021 年，索迪在达拉斯艺术博物馆的花园中揭幕了重要雕塑展，并在纽约的华盛顿广场公园完成了他的第二个公众装置项目「Tabula Rasa」。其他重要机构曾举办的索迪个人展览包括西班牙马拉加当代艺术中心举办的「ergo sum」（2020），在位于墨西哥城的墨西哥国家美术馆举办的「Por los siglos de los siglos」 （2017），纽约野口勇博物馆举办的「Museum of Stones」（2015），以及在纽约布朗克斯博物馆举办的「Pangea」（2010）。他的作品被全球重要公共及私人机构收藏，其中包括墨西哥的JUMEX 收藏，日本的当代艺术基金会（Contemporary Art Foundation），哈佛艺术博物馆（Harvard Art Museum），德克萨斯的纳什雕塑中心（Nasher Sculpture Center），位于华盛顿特区的菲利普斯收藏（Phillips Collection），明尼苏达的沃克艺术中心（Walker ArtCenter），康涅狄格的沃兹沃斯艺术博物馆（Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art），路易斯安那的新奥尔良艺术博物馆（New Orleans Museum of Art）以及圣迭戈当代艺术博物馆（Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego）等

Bosco Sodi has exhibited his work internationally and throughout the United States. In 2022, the Fondazione dell’Albero d’Oro organized the solo exhibition What Goes Around Comes Around at the Palazzo Vendramin Grimani in Venice, Italy. The University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum in Tampa staged the solo exhibition Básico in the same year. In 2021, Sodi opened a major sculpture show in the garden at Dallas Museum of Art, and completed his second public installation, Tabula Rasa, in Washington Square Park. Other notable institutional exhibitions include ergo sum, Centro de Arte Contemporáneo de Málaga, Spain (2020); Por los siglos de los siglos, Museo Nacional de Arte, Mexico City (2017); Museum of Stones, the Noguchi Museum, New York (2015); and Pangea, Bronx Museum, New York (2010). His work is in significant public and private collections worldwide including the JUMEX Collection, Mexico; the Contemporary Art Foundation, Japan; the Harvard Art Museum, Massachusetts; the Nasher Sculpture Center, Texas; the Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C.; the Walker Art Center, Minnesota; the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Connecticut; the New Orleans Museum of Art, Louisiana; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, among others
