Is art a concept? Is it a material entity? Is it the coexistence of both, or an existence beyond duality?

 

During the exhibition Bernar Venet: Beyond Concept and Matter, the Guangdong Museum of Art invites you to explore Bernar Venet's artistic practice and philosophyxper, experience the interdependent symbiosis of opposing dualities - harmony and conflict, order and disorder, rationality and sensibility, comprehend his unique artistic creation logic and style. In the process of participating in educational activities such as lectures, guided tours, interactive games, we will explore and reflect on the relationships among "concept", "matter" and "art" in artistic creation.

 

一位年轻艺术家——当时我才 22 岁——只是呈现了一堆木炭，却假装自己在创作一件艺术作品。这会让你感到惊讶吗？

 

你会觉得我的风格变化有“戏剧性”吗?

 

纵观我六十年的创作生涯,你是否能轻松找到一条贯穿我的不同艺术主张的线索呢?

 

我不断尝试不同的材料，不像大多数艺术家那样坚定选择一种材料创作。对此，你会觉得奇怪吗？

 

你对我参与生成艺术这事儿，有什么看法?

 

我不是数学家，却把数学作为艺术创作的基本工具。你能接受这个事实吗？

Would you be surprised that a young artist — just 22 years old at the time — simply presented a pile of charcoal and called it an artwork?

 

Do you  nd my stylistic shifts to be dramatic?

 

Over the course of my six-decade career, is it easy for you to trace a coherent thread among my artistic convictions?

 

Does it seem unusual to you that, unlike most artists who commit to a single medium, I've consistently explored a wide range of materials?

 

What are your thoughts on my engagement with generative art?

 

And can you accept this: I'm not a mathematician, yet I use mathematics as a fundamental tool in my art?
