전시소개 아라리오갤러리상하이에서는베이징을중심으로활동하는작가리후이의전시 <Instant Insanity ( 순간적광기 )> 를 6월 12일부터 8월 16일까지개최한다. 이번전시는상하이에서갖는작가의두번째개인전이며헝산판의단독건물에새롭게자리한아라리오갤러리상하이의개관전이다. 이번전시에는네개의대형설치작품들과더불어새롭게개관하는아라리오갤러리의공간에맞춰제작한설치작품, 그리고작가의최근대표작들이전시된다. 리후이는그가항상사용해오던 LED 조명과메탈과같은산업재료들로시간과공간사이의 순간적광기 를포착하고표현한다. 또한작가는 순간 과 혼돈 이라는주제를시각화하여정신적으로표현해내기위해집약적인상징들과오브제를이용해작업한다. 리후이는시각적으로환상적이고몽환적인공간을창조하고그안에서관객들로하여금작품속의더깊은의미로빠져들게만든다. 그의작업은다차원적인주제를다룰뿐만아니라다양한매체들과예술형식을접목하고있다. 그것은중국사회의발전에따른공동체의확장과그안에서의인간성의압축 ( 압박과상실 ) 을동시에내포하고있다. 이번전시에서리후이는 3개층의전갤러리공간을사회적지위에집중된하나의연극무대로바꾼다. 그의연극의내용은 확장과압축 의순환과대체에관한것이다. 그러나, 이러한흐름들은이공간안에서작가에의해의도적으로정지되어모든작품들은찰나의순간의포착으로보인다. 관객이이무대안으로들어오는순간, 그들은마치마법의정지화면안으로들어온것같은느낌을갖게된다. 얼핏부서진듯보이는작품들에다가가는순간관객의시간은확장되거나압축된다. 이순간시간은멈춰지고공간은불안정한공기로가득차있게된다. 이러한모든느낌들은관객으로하여금지속적으로관객으로서의존재가치를생각하게만든다. 장소특정적작품인 <Becoming A Buddha Immediately> 에서작가는공간전체를언제든붕괴될것같은위험한건물로바꾸어관객들이차가운금속안에서갇혀있는듯한불안함을느끼게한다. 그러나사실이조각난표면은상대적시간과대중이느끼는감정을집약한심연의연극무대를가시화한것이다. 갤러리 3층에전시된작품 <Truth of Uncertainty( 불확실한진실 )> 에서는좁은컨테이너안에터질듯갇혀있는거대한코뿔소가트럭위에올려져있다. 코뿔소가탈출하려는순간이드라마틱하게표현된이작품은, 거칠게밀쳐내려는코뿔소의강인한힘이변형시킨컨테이너의찌그러진형태를통해자유를향한동물의의지와열망을나타내고있다. 이번전시를통해리후이는이시대를살아가는현대인으로서 확장과압축 에대한자신의해석 을풀어내고있다. 작가는모순되는것과무관한것들을병치함으로써갈등과의심을표현한다.
동시에, 이러한불명확한상징을통해관객들은작가가급변하는이시대를왜 불확실한진실 로해석하고정의하고있는지이해하게될것이다. 작가소개 1977년생인리후이는 2003년중국베이징의 Central Academy of Fine Arts를졸업한후, 현재베이징에서거주하며작업하며아시아, 유럽그리고미국의주요도시에서활발하게전시를이어가고있다. 리후이의작업은레이저와 LED 등의하이테크놀로지를이용하여새로운미술장르를개척하거나, 공간설치작업과개념적조각을통해중국사회의급속한변화를표현하는두가지의창의적인주제에기반을두고있다. 새로운미술이끊임없이출현하는경쟁적인중국젊은세대예술가들사이에서, 리후이는심오한인간의문제들을탐구하며다양하고새로운매체를효과적으로사용하는몇안되는작가중한명이다. 리후이의예술적철학은불교의선종사상의 2 행시바람과달의날로이루어진끝없는공간의영원함에서시작했다. 또한그의작업은종종윤회의영원한생명력과지속적인정신적추구를표현한다. 그는인류, 삶그리고심리적불안의상태를탐구하기위한매체로서현대의고도로발달된산업기술을의도적으로사용하며감정적상태와이성적작용을통합시킨다. 이러한과정은환생, 삶과죽음, 초월, 갈등, 확장, 압축그리고불확실성과같은삶과정신성에대한물음들로표현된다.
