Abstract

Excerpt:Originally from Quanzhou, China and currently based in the United States, Cai Guo-Qiang began his artistic career as an oil painter in the 1970s, but while studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy in the early 1980s, he began experimenting with gunpowder as an artistic medium. He further refined his technique when he lived in Japan from 1986 to 1995 and continued working primarily with gunpowder after moving to the United States in 1995. Cai uses gunpowder not only for large-scale fireworks and explosions, but also for an innovative practice in which he carefully detonates the gunpowder against canvas or other materials to produce suggestive images. He has stated that he was attracted to the multiple and contradictory connotations of gunpowder, noting that “in China every significant social occasion of any kind, good or bad—weddings, funerals, the birth of a baby, a new home—is marked by the explosion of fireworks. . . . I saw gunpowder used in both good ways and bad, in destruction and reconstruction.”
蔡国强
节选:蔡国强来自中国泉州,现居美国,他的艺术生涯始于20世纪70年代的油画画家,但在20世纪80年代初在上海戏剧学院学习期间,他开始尝试将火药作为艺术媒介。1986年至1995年在日本生活期间,他进一步完善了自己的技术,1995年移居美国后,他继续主要研究火药。蔡不仅在大型烟花和爆炸中使用火药,而且在一种创新的实践中,他小心地将火药引爆在画布或其他材料上,以产生暗示性的图像。他说他被火药的多重和矛盾的内涵所吸引,并指出“在中国,任何一种重要的社交场合,无论好坏——婚礼、葬礼、婴儿出生、新房——都以烟花爆炸为标志. . . .我看到火药被用在好的和坏的方面,在破坏和重建中。”
