前  言

在當代藝術語境中，探討雕塑問題本身，似乎存在著某種互為抵牾的微妙關系。這種微妙大致來源于兩個方面：一是關于雕塑人們目前還是存在著一定的習見——既有對作為藝術門類之一的雕塑概念里雕與塑含義的基本理解與釋讀，也包括雕塑一詞本身帶給人們或傳統(tǒng)、或?qū)W院的印象；二是在當代藝術的視野中，雕塑卻已然呈現(xiàn)出被解構之趨向，雕塑今天正受到各種新興藝術材料、技術乃至觀念的諸多影響，其目前的發(fā)展態(tài)勢，已讓這個詞失去了原本在定義和概括上的確然性。對于雕塑專業(yè)背景的藝術家來說，面臨這樣的局面，是在雕塑的內(nèi)部還是外部進行問題的思考，往往會決定自身的創(chuàng)作導向，而上述的這種具有抵牾性的微妙關系，不僅是他們必須要面對和考慮的，更是在實際創(chuàng)作中需要通過具體的形式和語言來處理和表達的。在具有實驗意識的雕塑家那里，雕塑在當代藝術中的某種類似懸空的狀態(tài)，反過來可能恰恰給予他們另一種思考和實踐的空間與動力，即在雕塑的限定性中尋找突破以探求新的可能性、同時在當代的開放性中篤守本位并另辟蹊徑。本次參展的三位藝術家韓子健、朱勇、林森，均畢業(yè)于美術學院雕塑專業(yè)，有扎實的造型能力，現(xiàn)在又都是北京版畫雕塑院雕塑創(chuàng)作室的專職藝術家，專業(yè)創(chuàng)作和日常思考都非?；钴S，更為難得的是，從藝術的語言、方法到觀念三個人都各有自己的切入點和形態(tài)特征。某種角度而言，他們的作品可以說反映了當代雕塑創(chuàng)作前沿的一些基本動態(tài)。如果要概括三人作品的共同之處，那恐怕就是都與身體的表現(xiàn)有關，與對人的存在處境，與對事物之實相、虛相的探究有關，并且視覺上都帶有一定的陌生化、異樣化、荒誕化特點，作品里都有刺痛或打動觀者內(nèi)心的某些細節(jié)。這也正是本次藝術展的主題借用法國哲學家羅蘭·巴特關于攝影的觀念術語刺點的由來。所謂刺點，在巴特的攝影論述中是指觀看照片時觸動觀者內(nèi)心的圖像細節(jié)，它通過刺穿我們的記憶，打開了一扇門，一扇通向我們完全被具體化了的主體性所包含的那些深度之門，它朝向個體記憶復雜網(wǎng)絡內(nèi)部進行擴展，轉(zhuǎn)而，打開外部的集體記憶（英國學者艾美利亞·瓊斯語）。韓子健、林森、朱勇三位藝術家的創(chuàng)作實踐與思考，某種意義上也是在以另一種視覺藝術的方式印證著這一觀點。

ForewordThere seem to be some delicate conflicts in the discussion of issues concerning sculpture in the context of contemporary art. Such delicacy comes from two sources: one is the habitual thoughts about sculpture---the basic understanding and interpretation of this genre of art, as well as the stereotype about it of being conventional or academic; the other is that sculpture tends to be deconstructed and is under influences of new materials, techniques and concepts in the world of contemporary art. Its current development has made the term lose some of the certainty in its original definition.In this context, to think outside or inside the scope of sculpture often decides the direction of their art practice on the part of artists of academic background. The delicate conflicts around sculpture are not only what they have to face and consider, but also issues to address and express through specific art forms and vocabulary.The suspension state of sculpture in contemporary art, might become the space and motivation for a different thinking and practice to sculpture artists of experimental thoughts, who seek breakthroughs for new possibilities while keeping the foothold in the openness of contemporary art.The three artists Han Zijian, Zhu Yong and Lin Sen, all graduating from the major of sculpture of art schools, are equipped with solidmodelling skills, and very active in art practice and thinking as professional artists of the Sculpture Studio of Shanghai Oil Painting and Sculpture Institute. Moreover, each of them has their own points of interest and formal features in terms of art vocabulary, approaches and concepts. In some sense, their works reflect some basic state of the front of contemporary sculpture practice.What they share in common, if we are to generalize, seem to be that their works all relate to body, to the existence of human beings, and to the exploration of truth in matter. Besides, they are visually characterized by defamiliariztion, foreignization and absurdity, with details to puncture the heart of the audience.That is also why the title of the exhibition borrows Roland Barthes’s term Punctum in talking about photography. Punctum, according to Barthes, is the detail in a picture which pricks the heart of the audience, Through piecing our memory, it opens a door, leading to those doors of depth which are contained in our embodied subjectivity, it expands into the complex labyrinth of individual memory and then unlock the collective memory on the outside(British scholar Amelia Jones). The art practices and thinking of the three artists Han Zijian, Lin Sen and Zhu Yong, bear witness to such statement in the form of another genre of visual art.
