前言

身为英国法尔茅斯大学雕塑专业的高级讲师，露西·薇洛的作品不仅被广泛地展览于各地，也同时被很多私人藏家所珍视收存。艺术家于近期结束了在冰岛为期一个月的艺术家驻地项目（2015年12月），便很快投入到本次的展览之中。她因用灰尘制作地毯的系列作品首次受到了业内关注，比如2007年在泰特画廊所展出的“Art Now Cornwall”作品系列。针对本次于AIP艺术画廊所开展的艺术家驻地项目以及个人展览，薇洛选择直接在画廊墙壁上进行创作以去营造一种能够反映出等待、间歇以及介乎于空间内外的感觉。

“终有停息，终为插曲”

终点究竟作何模样？它或许可以展现生命的结束或者世界的消亡;当我们等待未来时，它也可代表着虚无的、悬浮的空间;同时，它也可能是介乎于唇齿张翕间的空隙；它是一种停息、一段插曲。艺术家给予我们足够的留白让我们脱离既定现实去想象、去理解。她所创作的绘画、声景音响以及动画作品均是立足于那些我们所熟识的事物边缘所展开的想象。她的声景音响作品是从美国国家航天局（NASA）官网上所提供的资料中取样而来的，这是一段来自于宇宙深处黑洞的声音，是一段记录着未知空间的声音、是一段从或已消亡了的或是新生的星球上发来的声音。

露西·薇洛在作品中所选用的主题关乎死亡、禁忌、社会法则、规范、道德准则以及与之相关的内容。多年间，她所创作的装置作品使用了灰尘以及能够表现瞬间的材料去反映生活中转瞬即逝的时刻。她也以摄影为媒介去探寻生活中关于失去、丧失的内容。死亡，作为创作主题，使得艺术家能够探微到在诸如死亡以及悲伤这些瞬间时所产生的美感。

“我们可以在生活中那些转瞬即逝的时刻探微到美感。”

——伦宇翔，露西·薇洛

Wall Text

Lucy Willow is artist senior lecturer in Fine Art Sculpture at Falmouth University. She has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally her work sold in private collections around the world. She has recently returned from a 1 month artists residency in Iceland (December 2015). Her work first received acclaim with a series of Dust carpets made on location and for specific environments such as Art Now Cornwall, Tate Gallery (2007). For this exhibition and artist residency at AIP Gallery Willow has drawn directly onto the gallery walls to create an environment that reflects the feeling of waiting for something to happen, a gap; a space in-between.

“At the end there is a pause, an interlude.”

At the end of what we do not know? It could represent the end of life or the world. It represents a space of nothingness and suspension while we wait for what is next.  It could also simply be the space between an in-breath and an out-breath. It is a pause, an ‘interlude’. The artist has left this open for us to imagine what lies just out of reach, beyond the known reality of what we understand. The drawings, soundscape and animation are what she imagines lies in this gap, at a point in time where we are on an edge of what is familiar and known. The soundscape in the exhibition is sampled from the NASA website and is the sound of black holes in deep space. It is the sound found in the emptiness of deep space, between perhaps the death of a star and the birth of planet.It is left open for the audience to imagine.

Lucy Willow’s themes within her work are concerned with death, the cultural codes, taboos, social norms and morals that surround it.She has for a number of years created installations using dust and ephemeral materials to reflect the fact that all life is transient and we are here for a short moment in time. She has also worked with the medium of photography to investigate the themes of loss and bereavement within her work and life. Death as a subject matter,allow her to reflect upon the profound beauty that can be found in a transient moment such as death and mourning.

“We find beauty within the most transient of moments of life.”

个人陈述：

我非常热衷于关乎”死亡”和”无常”的主题，并研究如何将这些主题通过使用诸如尘土、灰烬、腐食以及阴影等材料以视觉语言的形式传达出来。长期以来，我一直在努力提出一些与社会对死亡、文化符号、禁忌、社会价值观以及道德观所持态度相契合的问题。我也很迷恋创作出一些能够摇曳观者心神的作品，通过摄影、装置、雕塑以及行为等途径来探索无常、哀伤以及失落之间的关系。
