Time: 12th November – 12th January, 2012
Venue: Xindanwei, 50 Yongjia Rd.
Cost: Free

Artist’s Statement:

I have always been a pessimist, but I am starting to wonder – what is the meaning of being a pessimist? Does a pessimistic ideology make me become a person that I want to be? Human relationships can be complicated, even amongst family, relatives and friends. We face issues of accommodation, transport, desire, hunger and ambition. I am now facing a more complicated society than where I had come from. Familiar language and familiar faces, but some concepts are not familiar, the concept of being a man. How important is my “self”? How much fear do we experience when facing ourselves? What does the fear look like? When we focus on the fear, small things can look insurmountable. Is it the “meaning” that we seek? What should we do after the process of searching for meaning? Repeat ourselves?

常锦超：个人绘画展 《当我面对你》
时间：2011年11月12号 － 2011年1月12号
地点：永嘉路50号，新单位
费用：免费参观

作为一个一直在怀疑悲观主义存在意义的悲观主义者，总是期盼着这种意识形态会使我变成一种我想去成为的人。人类复杂的情感关系中，无论是家人，朋友，爱人，我们都不断地在面对有关适应，变幻，欲望与野心的种种即将发生的事情。对于这个比我本身更加复杂的社会，充满着熟悉的语言，熟悉的面孔，但意识是陌生的。我自己有多么重要吗？当我面对我自己的时候，我经历了多少恐惧呢？这种恐惧到底是个什么样子？当我们面对恐惧的情感，很多小事情的发生出现是难以克服的。这就是我所梦寐以求的吗？找到了被缺失的意识之后我还能再做什么呢？不断的重复吗？
