Why Joseph Beuys and his dead hare live on, 2019
How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare was a solo performance by Beuys in 1965. Beuys was seated on a stool, protectively cradling the deceased hare akin to the Madonna in a pietà. Hare’s Grave was characteristic of Beuys’ pioneering use of materials unprecedented in the history of sculpture (1964). I translate and re-contextualise Beuys’ artworks to rethink today’s uncannily familiar crises and initiate a dialogue with Beuys’ spiritual concepts and every viewer.
《為什麼博伊斯和他的死兔子存活至今》,2019
“如何向一隻死兔子解釋圖畫”是博伊斯於 1965 年的行為藝術表演。博伊斯坐在凳子上,抱著死去的兔子,就像聖母憐子圖一樣。 “野兔之墓”體現了博伊斯對材料的開創性使用,這在雕塑史上是前所未有的(1964年)。 我將博伊斯的這兩種開拓行為做成我的作品,重新思考當今異常熟悉的危機。
