参与机构 

OCAT深圳馆   

OCAT深圳馆于2019年1月19日至4月8日呈现艺术家个展“‘体系’：隋建国2008—2018”。本展览是隋建国自2008年以来最全面的阶段性回顾，力图全面梳理艺术家十年来的雕塑创作和观念系统的转变历程。展览由独立策展人崔灿灿策划，囊括艺术家以雕塑、3D打印、文献记录、手稿、图像和纪录片为形式的近百件作品。

作为国际舞台上最具影响力的雕塑家之一，隋建国从2008年的《盲人摸象》系列开始，告别了现代主义雕塑和观念艺术的传统，进入了全新的思考语境。通过持续不断、类型广泛和数量众多的实践，艺术家建立了一套独立的个人体系。此次展览的标题“体系”即由此而来，它一方面指涉艺术家十年来所形成的创作体系的内在结构，作品之间丰富、多样的思考轨迹；另一方面，它暗示着艺术家更为宽广的历史意识，重新评价和建立雕塑体系的雄心，展示其阶段性的艺术实现。

华·美术馆 

华·美术馆于2019年1月19日至4月8日呈现艺术家个展“'01变数循环'：缪晓春2006—2018”。本展览展出艺术家缪晓春自2006年来横跨12年的作品，是首次对其阶段性创作成果进行全面回顾，旨在呈现缪晓春在创作的成熟阶段如何思考自身，摸索转型以及形成体系的。展览由独立策展人李振华策划，展出缪晓春十余组图像、动画、绘画、雕塑作品。

缪晓春个展“01变数循环”是华·美术馆对于“未来主题”的又一次探索和探讨。变数循环，是一个内观式的展览，是关于缪晓春艺术生成的所有媒介关系，以及不同媒介之间是如何运作的。知识生产和艺术生产，空间探索和历史研究，美学手段和公众体验，都在这个展览中，互为依存。

蜂巢当代艺术中心   

这是夏禹在蜂巢举办的第四次个展，对于一个即将进入不惑之年的艺术家而言，坦培拉技法所造就的恬淡气息似乎隐蔽了其创作的时间性，观者较容易沉溺于他作品中建构的所属记忆中的恬淡与自然。实际上，从“新青年”、“叙事体”到“果园”直至最新个展“虚拟语气”，夏禹的创作技法与形式的探索并存。其创作的走向也渐趋明显，终于化境为一种明确的情绪表达。

新作中，夏禹使用了在后现代语境下，颠覆了逻格斯中心主义的修辞“戏仿”（Parody），将健身、工作、两性等可视为符号化的现代生活方式以特定的情境进行构建，这些情境指涉着作为艺术家的夏禹所体察到的，自身所处时代的诸多悖论与荒诞。而这一荒诞的显形与虚拟次元的拓展不甚相关，现存秩序下人类主体行为的多义性作为夏禹考察并且关注的重点，其背后则是对于既存秩序合理性的一种反思。在这一特定主题的形式选择上，作为手游高端玩家的夏禹提供了这样一种视像，与温暖的记忆所携裹的自然光的斑驳不同，新作画面结构的电子感与整体的金属质地，也标示着其主题创作与媒介实验之间的多重契合。

杨锋艺术与教育基金会

杨锋艺术与教育基金会和设计互联即将联合呈献基金会2019年度展览“语言的窸窣”。本次展览聚焦于科技、人类和社会不断发展与进步的大背景下语言的发展及转变，借由精心挑选及委任的国内外艺术家作品，探索在现代语境中字面语言的潜在意义。此次展览包含一系列雕塑、影响、装置及二维作品，必将带给观众丰富的感官体验。

展览所选择的作品就像是一个拼图游戏，一个有着诸多节点的网络，亦或是某个故事的碎片。诸多隐藏的线索有待解读，如果想要解开艺术家们所呈现的交流迷宫，观众们需要自己来建立相关性、并且构建自己的叙事方式。

设计互联  

“设计的价值”将呈现在不同社会价值观驱动下的现当代设计发展历程，以此来重新评价设计的价值，明确设计在社会中所扮演的关键角色。该展览梳理V&A在时尚、摄影、家具、产品、平面设计、戏剧和表演等领域的馆藏，甄选国际设计历史中具有代表性的展品，响应设计互联的使命及地区行业特点。在创新设计行业极速发展的深圳，该展览将首次呈现国际现当代设计历史中的重要里程碑。

广东时代美术馆

广东时代美术馆将通过对周滔（1976年出生）过去十年的重要作品及新作的研究性展示，对艺术家整体创作做一个思辨性的回顾。周滔是中国当代艺术家中一个独特的来自南方的个体，他的作品《南石头》（2010-2011）通过图像与即时剧本介入广州南石头村微妙而神奇的日常生活，并由此发展出一种“新地理学式”的图像语言。他的作品模糊了电影和视觉艺术之间的界线。近作《凡洞》（2017）延续了将空间的理性秩序转化为身体与情感体验的图像语言实践，并对电影这一时间媒体的叙事性提出挑战。时代美术馆的个展也是周滔自2008年以来创作的一次完整展示，美术馆委托并支持的一系列新作将在本次展览上首次展出。

录像局   

2019年一月，录像局整理和收录的档案是艺术家黄炳的20件（2010年至2018年）录像作品；艺术家沈莘的12件（2012至2018年）录像作品。

镜花园  

从这个冬天开始，我们在镜花园讨论田中功起的“不确定任务”，一开始，我们试图理解：从2012年开始的、伴随人类所经历的灾难而不断展开的“不确定任务”，对我们的日常经验究竟意味着什么？而“不确定任务”这些年来在东京、横滨、鹿特丹、伦敦、埃因霍温（Eind hoven）、柏林、⾹港等不同地点的持续展开，和不在现场的我们究竟发生着什么样的关系？

在这个冬日，我们邀请你一起来感受、阅读和进入“不确定任务”的空间，驻留于人所身处的、面向不确定敞开而又感到连结、温暖的时刻。

Greater Bay Art Trip 2019, an art-week activity of Art Basel Hong Kong sponsored jointly by 8 art institutions in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, namely OCAT Shenzhen, OCT Art & Design Gallery,Hive Center for Contemporary Art, Frank F. Yang Art and Education Foundation, Design Society, Times Museum,  Video Bureau and Mirrored Garden, aims at creating an extended platform for art practitioners and lovers from both China and overseas and at promoting the communication and development of contemporary visual culture in the Greater Bay Area through a systematic on-site survey of the landscape and ecosystem of the area.

Initiated in 2017 and known as the “Guangzhou-Shenzhen Art Trip” at the time, the activity has been renamed the “Greater Bay Art Trip” to conform to the blueprint of the Greater Bay Area composed of Guangdong province, Hong Kong and Macao. So far, two editions of it have been launched successively. Every March, there is an open recruitment of art practitioners and lovers from China and overseas through Art Basel Hong Kong, with an itinerary covering 8 non-profit art institutions in Guangzhou and Shenzhen and participating galleries of Art Basel Hong Kong.

Institutions

OCAT Shenzhen

OCAT Shenzhen will present the solo exhibition System: Sui Jianguo 2008–2018 from January 19 to April 8, 2019, marking the most thorough period retrospective on the artist since 2008. This exhibition will strive to catalogue the various shifts in the artist’s sculpture creations and conceptual system over the previous decade. Curated by independent curator Cui Cancan, the exhibition will include nearly one hundred works in sculpture, 3D printing, documentary materials, sketches, videos and documentary films.

One of the most influential sculptors on the international stage, Sui Jianguo parted ways with the traditions of modernist sculpture and conceptual art in 2008 with his Blind Portraits series.

OCT Art & Design Gallery

OCT Art & Design Gallery will stage “01 Simulations: Miao Xiaochun 2006-2018”, the solo exhibition of Miao, from January 19 to April 8, 2019, to showcase the works created by the artist in the past 12 years. As Miao’s first solo to retrospectively look at the achievements across a specific development phase, this exhibition aims at demonstrating the artist’s exploration of himself, the possibilities of conversion and the system building at a stage of maturity. Curated by Li Zhenhua, an independent curator, ten groups of Miao’s works, including photos, animations, paintings and sculptures, will be presented to the audience.

“01 Simulations”, a solo exhibition of Miao Xiaochun, is another exploration of OCT Art & Design Gallery on the theme of “The Future”. “Simulations” is an introspective exhibition, which is about the relations among all media generated from Miao’s art and demonstrates how they interact with each other. You will find in this exhibition that the production of knowledge and art, the exploration of space and history, and the aesthetic means and public experience coexist interdependently.

Hive Center for Contemporary Art 

This is the 4th solo exhibition of Xia Yu held in Hive. His experience as a nearly 40-year-old artist has made for the tranquility in his tempera technique, which seems able to gloss over the time when every work of his was made so that the audience can fall easily for the peace and naturalness of his personal memories reconstructed in the work. In fact, Xia Yu’s never ceased exploring both the artistic techniques and form, exemplified by as early as his “New Youth”, “Narrative”, “Orchard” and his upcoming solo “Subjunctive Mood”. In an increasingly clear direction, his journey of art has finally transformed into explicit expression of feelings.

In his latest pieces, Xia Yu adopts “parody”, a rhetorical technique that subverts logocentrism in the post-modern context, and works into certain scenes the symbols of modern lifestyles such as bodybuilding, work and genders, which refer to the various paradoxes and absurdities Xia Yu has experienced as an artist in this very age. But this absurd revelation has little to do with the expansion of the virtual dimension, and, as the focus of Xia Yu’s survey and concern, the polysemy of human subjects’ behavior in the existing order implies a kind of reflection on the rationality of the order. In his adoption of form for certain themes, Xia Yu, an advanced mobile game player, gives us such a vision: different from the mottled natural light carried by warm memories, the electronic sense of the composition and the overall metal texture of his latest works also suggest that his thematic creations happen to accord with his experiments on mediums in multiple ways.

Frank F. Yang Art and Education Foundation

Frank F. Yang Art and Education Foundation Design Society will jointly present 2019 annual exhibition The Evolution of Communication. The exhibition focus on the transformation and development of language while technology, humans and society evolve and grown. Various carefully selected and commissioned works from national and international artists will explore the underlying meaning beyond the literal meaning in modern context. The exhibition includes a list of sculpture, video, installation and 2-dimensional work. It’s a mixed media exhibition, which give diverse sensation to the viewer.

The works selected for this exhibition is similar to that of a puzzle game, or a network of connecting points, or fragments of a story. There’s a set of hidden clues to be decoded, encouraging viewers to make their own associations and invent their own narratives in order to unravel the complexities of communication staged by the artist.

Design Society

‘Values of Design’ will consider how values drive design and how design is valued, as well as highlighting the key role that design plays in society. ‘Values of Design’ has been curated and designed specifically for the V&A Gallery, Shekou at Design Society.  It will feature exhibits drawn from the V&A’s major collections of fashion, photography, furniture, product and graphic design, theatre and performance. It will showcase objects that represent key turning points in the history of design against the backdrop of Shenzhen, a city in which design and manufacturing are developing at a rapid rate.       

Times Museum                       

Through a research-based display of selected works created in the past ten years and new work of Zhou Tao (b.1976), a speculative survey of the artist’s oeuvre will be accessible by the public in the coming March at Guangdong Times Museum. Zhou Tao is a unique voice from South China. His work South Stone (2010 - 2011) is an intervention through moving-image and impromptu scenarios in the subtle but peculiar everyday life of Nanshitou Village in Guangzhou, thus developing a moving-image language the artist describes as “New Topology”. His works blur the boundary between cinema and visual art. Recent work The Worldly Cave (2017) carries on the moving-image language that transforms the rational order of space into bodily and affective experiences, and raises questions to the narratives of cinema as a time-based medium. The solo exhibition at Times Museum will be a comprehensive presentation of Zhou Tao’s films, installations, photographs and drawings, accompanied with the premiere of a new series of works commissioned and funded by Times Museum.

Video Bureau

In January 2019, Video Bureau's newly organized and collected archives are those by artist Wong Ping (20 works, from 2010 to 2018) and artist Shen Xin (12 works, from 2012 to 2018).

Mirrored Garden

From this winter on, we began our conversations around Koki Tanaka’s Precarious Tasks, and we’ve been trying to understand the following questions since the very beginning: what do these Precarious Tasks that have been continually unfolding since 2012 along with the disasters experienced by the mankind mean to our daily experiences? While these Precarious Tasks are being carried out at various places like Tokyo, Yokohama, Rotterdam, London, Eindhoven, Berlin and Hong Kong, what’s the relationship between these happenings and those who are not present when they took place?

This winter, from Jan 24th, we invite you to experience, read and enter the space of the Precarious Tasks, linger around the moments that are inhabited by people, moments that are open toward uncertainties while staying warm and connected.
