Crescent Dreaming

终于赶在Gertraud Möhwald的展览走前一睹风采了。在经历了东西德分离的岁月里，Gertraud寻找着一个完整的自己和公正的记忆。于是，她把它们传塑到自己的作品中。历史和人物一样，即使是同一张脸的两半都是不对称的。东西德对她的震撼和人生的理解。朴素中透着丝丝悲凉。。她的传神作品一定要是自己熟悉的人或是物。有幸的是还能在15分钟的短片中看到她如何一步一步构思，创造作品。。2002年，车祸去世。

陶瓷馆里除了这个外，最让我难忘的就是Mesoamerica的所有出土陶瓷。。几千年前的人类艺术水平和美学标准让世人汗颜呀。。可惜了没有带相机。

参观完了出门碰到一群玩陶瓷的疯子。于是跟着交了费，到Studio里疯了一把。我的半成品应该已经在烤箱里了。只是看着那些陶瓷迷们的成品，觉得自己还比不上一个5年纪的学生。。

由于我的土柸拖了后退，我中途逃走和宝贝去听了一场现代艺术讲座。宝贝被一大串一大串的艺术专业词吓得睡着了。。这个人在现代艺术领域还是有些分量的。有点超现实主义，悲观主义的艺术气质，说起话来还是十分风趣的。。在16世纪的欧洲小镇挖垃圾的，把死了好多年的树搬到Chicago的恒温Greenhouse里的，买下威尼斯河道污泥进行分离研究的，在Manchester Museum捡废品的，都是他。。他叫Mark Dion。

姐妹们，忘了说了，他还是有几分姿色的。

Born in 1961 in Massachusetts, lives and works in Beach Lake, PA.Since the mid-1980s Dion has been investigating the relationship between the natural world and its forms of representation and classification. Acting at times as explorer, biologist, ornithologist, ethnographer or archaeologist, Dion constructs laboratories and experiments in his installations, creating personal systems of classification. The results mimic, as a contemporary critique, the scientific processes characteritic of the recent historical past. Fictional elements  in his work often function ironically, pointing toward outmoded scientific theories and techniques, to reveal the subjective, and at times arbitrary, character of scientific research.Mark Dion shows his work in galleries and museums all over the world, and is included in importanti public and private collections: PS1, New York; Museo Nacional Reina Sofia, Madrid (1994); GAM, Turin (1996); XLVII Venice Biennial; Sculpture Projects, Munster (1997); Kunstverein, Hamburg; De Appel, Amsterdam (1997); Tate Modern, London; MOMA, New York (1999); Whitney Museum, New York (2001); Aldrich Museum, Ridgefield CT (2003); The Manchester Museum, Manchester, UK (2005); MoMA, New York (2006); Carr? d'art contemporain, Nimes (2007).
