高索都：河东 | 河西

艺术家：  高索都

展览时间：2020年5月15日-6月30日

开幕时间：2020年5月15日 周五 下午4点

拾萬空间非常荣幸地带来高索都的个展：河东|河西。这是一次关于“追问”的展览，也是艺术家这些年如“梦游”般反复寻找自己的记录呈现。

本次展览主要呈现的是高索都在包头生活期间的所见、所想和所画。高索都生于内蒙古包头市，后考入天津美术学院，大学毕业后在北京生活了八年时间。面对日益增高的生活和创作成本，以及不断加剧的“我到底应该站在什么位置”的追问和思考，高索都最终还是选择回到包头生活和创作。

作为80一代的艺术家，在上大学之前，高索都完全生活在相对封闭的家乡环境中。而进入大学之后，认知世界的多重渠道被打开，东方和西方、过去和现在不同的文化和视觉要素，更是造就了现实与精神世界的多层时空。于是，就像大多数人对“家乡”的情感开始位移，包头之于高索都，亦成为再也回不去的“家乡”。这种混乱的时空感知，带来的是心理上巨大的失重感和撕裂感，如何与之和平相处，便是高索都近四年包头生活中一直在解决的问题。

这四年也是高索都创作的密集期。家乡文化巨大的同化力，促使他拿起相机来捕捉那些真实但又光怪陆离的场景——既是一种记录，也是一种自我提醒。他亦如老牛反刍一般，以此来消化西方和东方、北京和包头之间的关系。但现实与心理的错位始终无法抹去，使得他的镜头宛如“梦游”一般，穿梭回荡在包头街头巷尾的“现实梦境”中。

在此次展览中，高索都追求的并非艺术表达中的准确性和精神性，他更倾向于将这种“梦游”般的文化撕裂感呈现出来。就像展览中的摄影作品，它们是基于包头现实生活所做的第二现实的努力，这些“现实”反复提醒着艺术家它的实际存在，但又显得并非那么“真实”。于是，看似不得已的，高索都从记录到呈现，并以此实现着他极具普遍性的情感追问。

高索都，1985年生于内蒙古包头，2008年毕业于天津美术学院综合绘画系，现生活于包头市。

Gao Suodu: Empty Hands

Opening：  5/15/2020  Friday  4pm

Hunsand Space is proud to present the solo exhibition of Gao Suodu : Empty Hands. This is an exhibition about "questioning", and a record of the artist's repeated search for himself over the years, like a "sleepwalk".

The exhibition focuses on what Gao Suodu saw, thought and painted during his time in Baotou. Gao Suodu was born in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, then entered the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts and lived in Beijing for eight years after graduation. In the face of the increasing cost of living and creation, and the increasing question of "where should I stand", Gao Suodu finally chose to return to Baotou to live and create.

As an artist of the 80's generation, Gao Suodu lived completely in the relative confines of his hometown until he went to college. After entering the university, the multiple channels of the cognitive world are opened, and the different cultural and visual elements of the East and the West, the past and the present, create a multi-layered time and space of reality and the spiritual world. So, just like most people's emotions about "home" began to shift, Baotou became a "hometown" in Gao Suodu, which can never be returned. How to make peace with this chaotic sense of time and space, which brings with it a tremendous sense of psychological weightlessness and tearing apart, is a problem that Gao Suodu has been solving for nearly four years of his life in Baotou.

These four years were also an intensive period for the creation of Gao Suodu. The tremendous assimilative power of his hometown's culture prompted him to pick up a camera and capture those real but naked scenes - both as a record and a reminder of himself. He also digests the relationship between the West and the East, Beijing and Baotou like an old cow regurgitating. But the dislocation between reality and psychology can never be erased, making his lens like "sleepwalking", echoing through the streets of Baotou in the "real dreamland".

In this exhibition, Gao Suodu is not looking for accuracy and spirituality in artistic expression, but rather for a sense of "sleepwalking" cultural tearing. Like the photographs in the exhibition, they are based on the second reality of Baotou's real life, a "reality" that repeatedly reminds the artist of its actual existence, but seems less "real". Thus, seemingly out of necessity, Corso moves from recording to presenting and, in so doing, realizes his highly universal emotional quest.

Gao Suodu was born in Baotou, Inner Mongolia in 1985, graduated from the Mix media Oil Painting Department of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts in 2008, and now lives in Baotou.

拾萬空间于2014年成立于草场地艺术区211号院，并在2018年迁至798艺术区。拾萬空间对常规意义的方盒子展览保持警惕，意欲从当代艺术语言中的语法和语意结构出发并将之延展到更广泛的领域；希望通过持续的展览和项目，激发出当下文化中被忽视的部分，将当代艺术思想的价值生发到你我的身边。

Hunsand Space is founded at No. 211 Caochangdi Art District in2014 and relocated to 798 Art District in 2018. Remaining vigilant about the conventional ways of presenting art exhibitions in the white cube, Hunsand Space aims to take the semantics and syntax from the language of contemporary art as a point of departure and to extend them into broader fields. Through its vigorous exhibitions and projects, Hunsand Space hopes to activate the overlooked aspects in contemporary culture and to bring the value of contemporary art into our lives.
