Does Erotic Art Have to be Banned? The Urgency of Chinese Public Space and Creating Art under the Postcolonial Context —Chang Gao

222 Kingsland Rd

大家好， 我是高畅，目前是英国皇家艺术学院在读第四年的博士。同时是一名多媒体视觉艺术家。我的作品利用进化心理学理论的“超个体刺激”与情欲主义制作雕塑，影像，摄影，AR 增强现实界面，全息影像装置，机器与心跳互动装置等艺术作品。作品广泛展览于英国，荷兰，意大利， 芬兰，韩国，日本以及国内很多美术馆及画廊。我曾在英国皇家艺术学院担任艺术与人文学院硕士讲师，也曾工作于中央美术学院中国公共艺术研究中心担任三年公共艺术研究员。在国内学习工作期间发现了一个很有趣的现象，国外知名的建筑师和艺术家在中国总是会被给予更多的机会和关爱，无论是展览，收藏还是在公共空间中永久安置他们的作品，中国的公共空间就这样被一件又一件的西方知名艺术家、建筑师的公共艺术，雕塑和建筑所侵占， 在我的博士论文研究中 ，总结为”中国公共空间的后殖民主义现象”。一个例子，安东尼·葛姆雷的系列雕塑《海岸线》在展出于伦敦，纽约以及圣地亚哥后，将其系列人体雕塑放置于香港中环的摩天大楼的楼顶，一个个伫立于高透楼顶的楼顶边缘， 当地警局在雕塑安置后一周之内接连收到29个报警电话，甚至有人为此自杀。 对此种西方知名艺术家对中国当地文化，政治，社会环境的极端不敏感不在乎，并在公共空间文化侵略的现象，在我的博士论文中我总结并命名为“中国公共空间的后殖民主文化现象”。这次讲座我将结合多媒体艺术的展示形式，邀请现场观众观看我最新制作的影片，参与AR 互动界面的同时，参与机器装置互动装置《为静默着发生》，以及现场探讨等环节。 



身在伦敦，目睹祖国不同的社会文化环境，希望借此艺术研究与艺术呈现的方式，创造一次与您开诚布公沟通的机会。真心期待大家的到来。

I am Chang Gao, a fourth-year PhD candidate at Royal College of Art. I am also a multimedia artist. Inspired by an evolutionary psychology theory “Supernormal Stimuli” and eroticism, the forms of my works range from sculpture, print, photography, film, Augmented Reality interface, hologram installation to ECG heart rate and robotic interactive installations. These works have been exhibited internationally in museums and galleries among the UK, the Netherlands, Italy, Finland, Korea, Japan, and China. Previously, I worked as a lecturer for MA programmes in the School of Arts and Humanities at RCA. Also, I was a public art researcher at the Public Art Research Centre of China in Central Academy of Fine Arts.During the working and studying in China, I have noticed an interesting phenomenon: western architects’ and artists’ works have always been given more attention and opportunities to exhibit, to be collected, or installed permanently in China. Western artists and architects culturally invade Chinese public space by installing one and another artworks, sculptures, and architectures. I define this phenomenon in my PhD thesis as “post-colonialism in China’s public space”.To name just one example. Antony Gormley’s “Horizon”, a series of figurative sculpture were casted from artist’s own body. After being shown in London, New York, and Santiago, this series of work was installed at the top edge of a skyscraper in Central, Hong Kong. After the work was installed, the local police station received 29 calls within one week from the residents who worry the figurative sculptures as suicidal attempts.I define such radical insensitivity and indifference towards toward Chinese local cultural, political, and social environment, as well as the cultural invasion from the West to the Chinese public space, as “post-colonialism in Chinese public space” in my PhD thesis. In this talk, I will display a series of multimedia artworks, and invite audiences to watch my latest art film. Audience will be also encouraged to interact with AR interface and the robotic installation Speaking for the Speechless and participate in the discussion in the end. Living in London, I have witnessed a social-cultural differenced compared to where we come from. By presenting my research and artworks, I wish to create an opportunity for an open conversation.



I look forward to seeing you.
