假裝游戲

Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern art is pleased to announce the launch of Conscious Game at 3pm， 23rd， March， 2019. Those works on display include paintings， installations and digital animations from Ao Guoxing， Cao Yuanming， Ji Wenyu & Zhu Weibing， Li Zhenhua & Dong Shi， Shi Miaomiao， Wang Qieer， You Ada. This exhibition will present artists in-depth experience and observation towards established reality and regulation in a gameful attitude. These works are seemingly playful imitation， response， doubt， breakthrough and reconstruction of life， human nature， social and cultural reality. Jean Piaget， Swiss psychologist， once put forward the concept of imagination games in child cognitive psychology of which the main idea is about how children absorb ideas and concepts and then apply them into imaginary world. In the field of art， both the game theory about the art origin in the history of Western art and the traditional Confucian aesthetic view of roaming in art naturally advocate the purity and non-utility of game so as to emphasize the goal of human pursuit of spiritual freedom. Imagination game is both gameful， that is non-utilitarian and purposeless， and feigned， that is welldesigned and premeditated. In playing imagination games， children tend to follow a set of established rules， and they can tell fiction from reality. Conscious game not only presents artists attitude， but also their strategy and courage. Under the shelter built with the attitude of gamification， artists are proficient in established rules and constantly test and challenge fixed rules and limits to reconstruct new values and systems. Using a gamification strategy in the state of drifting， artists exploration and challenges are faced with not only the established rules of art language and the benchmark in art history， but also the countless inherent frames and systems of real life and daily thinking.

Conscious Game not only brings us more unconventional thinking and possibilities， but also provides an open door for the public to enter the creation of artists in an interesting way. It is precisely the works generated from the attitude and position of conscious game that unwittingly break the established thinking mode of the audience， making the audience think from the perspective of the artist， and smile or think deeply at the moment of communication with the creative thinking of the artist.

The exhibition will last till 19 May， 2019.

“假裝游戲”于2019年3月23日下午15時在上海多倫現代美術館開幕，本次展覽由上海多倫現代美術館主辦，將展出藝術家敖國興、曹原銘、計文于、朱衛兵、李振華、董師、石苗苗、王切爾、尤阿達創作的繪畫、裝置和影像作品。本次展覽試圖呈現一種游戲化的態度或方式下藝術家對既定現實與規則的深度體驗和觀察，是以作品對生命、人性、社會和文化現實的看似“游戲化”的模仿、回應、質疑、突破和再造。

瑞士兒童心理學家讓·皮亞杰在兒童認知心理學中提出過“想象游戲”的概念，其要義為：孩子從現實世界中吸收想法和概念，然后應用到虛構的世界中。在藝術領域中，不管是西方藝術史上關于藝術起源的“游戲說”，還是傳統儒家對待藝術時“游于藝”的美學觀，都很自然地推崇“游戲”的純粹和非功利性，以此強調人類追求精神自由的目標。“想象游戲”既是“游戲”的——非功利性的、無目的的，同時又是“假裝”的——經過了精心設計和事先考量的：因為在“想象游戲”中，孩子們雖然在玩假裝游戲，但他們都遵守著一套既定的游戲規則，他們能清楚區分什么是現實，什么是虛構。在“假裝游戲”的概念中，“假裝游戲”呈現的既是藝術家的態度，也是藝術家的策略和勇氣：在以“游戲化”的姿態構筑起來的安全掩體之下，藝術家既諳熟既定規則，同時又在不斷試探和挑戰既定的規則與底線，進而重構新的價值和體系。利用一種處于“漂移”狀態的游戲化策略，藝術家們的探索和挑戰不僅面對著藝術自身語言的既定規則、藝術史上的標桿，同樣面對著現實生活、日常思維的無數固有框架、體系。

“假裝游戲”的方式在為我們帶來更多打破常規的思考和可能的同時，也以充滿趣味性的方式為公眾進入藝術家的創作提供了一個不設防的大門：恰恰是這種“假裝游戲”的態度和立場中產生的作品，不知不覺間打破了觀者的既定思維模式，讓觀者跟隨藝術家的視角產生思考，并在與藝術家的創作思路交際的那一刻會心一笑或肅然深思。

本次展覽將展出至2019年5月19日。
