新时线媒体艺术中心（CAC）荣幸与知美术馆联合呈现展览《生长》。该展览将呈现在生命体、合成生物学与生态行动主义交叠领域内四位先驱艺术家的作品。
Chronus Art Center (CAC) is pleased to present the exhibition Growing, co-organized by CAC and ZHI ART MUSEUM. Growing features the works by four pioneering artists working at the intersection of living organism, synthetic biology and ecological activism.
爱德华多·卡兹的作品《自然历史之迷》（爱德华多+碧冬茄）貌似平凡，却是对人类-植物异种培育结果首次盛开的见证。苏珊·安卡尔的近期作品《永生的城市》汇集自然界的标本以及工业化的产物，使它们共居于无数个培养皿构建的城市景观之中。名为《护理与控制的容器》的作品是SymbioticaA的艺术家们又一次对技术工具论的抗争，唤起对生物孵化器作为一具护理/培植并掌控生命的精巧仪器的同时也是具备观念性与生命政治之仪器的激进解读。梁绍基的一组作品占据着与其他作品相邻的整个空间。这些作品蕴含着他长久以来对蚕虫生命周期的着迷，也是鲜活成长中之生命的印记。
Unassuming as it seems, Natural History of the Enigma - Edunia (Eduardo + petunia) by Eduardo Kac bore witness to the first blossom of human-plant crossbreeding. Suzanne Anker’s most recent work Immortal Cities conjugates specimens from the natural world and items from the industrialized domain cohabiting in a cityscape built with myriad petri-dishes. Titled Vessel of Care and Control, the SymbioticA artists once again stir up a contestation about the role of technical utility, insinuating a provocative perception of incubator both as a contraption of care/nurture and controlled life as well as a conceptual and biopolitical apparatus. Occupying an entire adjacent gallery, LIANG Shaoji presents a comprehensive body of work that encapsulates his long fascination with the life cycle of silkworms, in which a testimony of life unfolds in vivid progression.

于其说展览“生长”是语言的指涉，它实则促使观众以内在的感受去体验一次与不同生命形式的相遇。这些生命形态或源于自然，或是人为的造化；亦或是来自共生的居所和基因间的交合。展览以此对亚里士多德式的生物分类法统提出质疑，进而向诸如动态平衡、新陈代谢以及环境效应这些作为生命之基本显像等约定俗成的观念发难。展览不仅佐证了“生长”的能量作为一种自然的冲动，并阐明了“生长”这一行为作为技术力量将自然概念拓展为一种新的范式，在此之中，无自然的生态正在召唤着另一种现实的来临。
Rather than a rhetoric signifier, the exhibition Growing compels the visitors with an experiential and visceral encounter with life forms of natural origin and of artificial inception, or from symbiotic habitat and transgenic hybridity as sources of becoming, thus problematizing the orthodox of Aristotelian taxonomy, soliciting a prospect that complicates the conception of homeostasis, metabolism and the umwelt as fundamental manifestation of life. Growing not only attests to such energetics as the impulse of nature, but also illuminates the act of growing as a technological force that extends the notion of nature to a new paradigm in which ecology without nature calls for another reality on the horizon.

知美术馆位于中国成都新津老君山脚下，总建筑面积为2353平米。外形内敛、极具禅意，由国际建筑设师隈研吾设计，运用流水、瓦片等元素，使建筑与自然有机相融，空灵寂静，动静相宜，尽显生生不息、道法自然的东方哲学。美术馆VI系统由日本平面设计师原研哉设计，由美术馆外观瓦片的元素构成，形成富有变化的水波纹样。
Located at the foot of Chengdu’s Taoism Laojun Mountain in Southwest China, ZHI ART MUSEUM’s serene architecture brings to life the beauty and tranquility of Zen. An iconic work by renowned Japanese master architect, Kengo Kuma, the museum embodies the Eastern philosophy of “Learning from Nature.” With the use of water as key feature, and the exploration of natural materials throughout, the architecture organically integrates its surrounding elements harmoniously. The tranquil flow and soft movements surrounding the entirety of the museum allow for contemplation and evoke notions of eternity through its unity with nature.
知美术馆旨在当代艺术的国际化语境中，探讨东方美学的过去、现在与未来。与此同时，“知”完全是一个开放的系统，从已知朝向未知，从眼前朝向无限。因而，知美术馆还将探索人自身的灵感与高科技的融合，在新媒体艺术领域进行前沿的可能性探知。建立对艺术史的完整度和开放性具有建设性意义的收藏及策展系统。
ZHI ART MUSEUM focuses to explore global contemporary art and its qualities as a force of universality, in the context of the future, present and past of Eastern aesthetics. The meaning of ZHI is to be an open concept, always striving to move from the world of the known to the unknown, and from the finite to the infinite. Within these parameters ZHI ART MUSEUM’s aim is to explore the integration of human inspiration and technology within the multiple facets of art, while also building a groundbreaking in-depth contemporary art collection and an unparalleled exhibition program, that together will foster a vital contribution to the integrity and creativity of art and art history of the 21st century.
“万物、见解、常新”是知美术馆的核心理念。
The museum’s core concept is based on the three principles of: Universality, Insight, and Innovation.
