About No Name Studio | 关于 No Name Studio
Founded by two artists Carlo Maria Rossi and Penny Kwan, No Name Studio provides a complex of studio, residence, and gallery for member artists and collectors in ancient town Zhujiajiao, Shanghai. No Name has continued to attract art professionals and institutions from all over the world since its establishment, committed to stimulate creative energy and enlightening conversations while building No Name art community domestically and internationally.
由艺术家 Carlo Maria Rossi 与 Penny Kwan 创立,No Name Studio 于上海朱家角古镇为艺术家与藏家提供工作室、居所、画廊为一体的空间。自创立起 No Name 便持续吸引着世界各地的艺术人士与机构,致力于激发创造性能量与启发性对话的同时,构建海内外的 No Name 艺术社群。
“There really is no such a thing as art. There are only artists.”
- Sir E.H. Gombrich
“现实中根本没有艺术这种东西,只有艺术家而已。”
- 贡布里希
The classic quote by art historian Sir E.H. Gombrich is still applicable in today's artistic context. At present, the phenomenon that people pay more attention to artists than to their artworks, is more serious than at any moment in history of art. The universal definition of the success of a contemporary artist is equated with his / her commercial value, while the merits of their artworks and the depth of the works have been substantially overlooked.
艺术史学家贡布里希的这一经典论述在现今的艺术语境中依然适用。在当下,人们对艺术家的关注比艺术史上的任何时刻都更大于对其作品的关注。当代艺术家成功与否的普世定义和 ta 的商业价值划上了等号,而作品本身的优劣及作品深度的挖掘被严重忽视。
The value of many unfamed artists is seriously underestimated, although their artworks are appreciated to a certain extent. To provide a full range of funding for the unfamed / emerging artists behind these excellent works, media platforms that expose them to the public, and an easy way to enter the art market, so that they may achieve the artistic accomplishment they deserve while their artworks generate due economic values. It is the original intention of No Name Studio – “Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.”
大量不知名艺术家的作品虽然受到一定程度的赏识,但艺术家本身的价值被严重低估。为这些优秀作品背后的不知名艺术家 / 新兴艺术家提供全方位的资助、进入大众视野的媒介平台、及进入艺术市场的简易途径,使 ta 们的作品产生应有的经济价值,而艺术家个人也获得应有的成就,是 No Name Studio 的初衷——「成就无名 · 播种不凡」。
To provide artists with favourable creative and living environments so that they can focus on art itself, while No Name takes on the responsibility of "accomplishment” and "dissemination". The social significance of this duty is the motivation that drives the founders Carlo Maria Rossi and Penny Kwan to persist. In the past year, No Name Studio has grown rapidly and has received many positive feedbacks from member artists and the art market. The grandfather of a Japanese friend of Penny Kwan happens to be such an artist whose many artworks are well received but himself is unknown to the public, she is deeply touched by "No Name" and its original intention.
为艺术家们提供良好的创作和生活环境,使其专注于创作本身,而 No Name 则为其担起「成就」和「传播」的职责。这件事本身的社会意义是驱使创始人 Carlo Maria Rossi 和 Penny Kwan 坚持的动力。而在过去的一年中,No Name Studio 也迅速成长,获得了 No Name 艺术家们和市场的良好反馈。创始人 Penny Kwan 一位日籍友人的外公就是这样一位作品颇受好评但不为大众所熟知的艺术家,其对「No Name」这个名字及其初衷深有感触。
"No Name" was originally inspired by the "Anonymous Painting Collective", an underground painters group that initiated China's first modern art revolution. "Anonymous Painting Collective" represents avant-garde art from the early 1960s to the 1970s in China in a sense. It adheres to its belief of "art for the sake of art", it rejected kitsch and refused to compromise for benefits. The member artists' maverick in art and spiritual freedom gave them the strength to confront cruel and impermanent times. "Anonymous Painting Collective" inspired the original vision of No Name Studio to initiate a new wave of contemporary urban art in China. "No Name" is a tribute to the predecessor artists and is also a motif of self-drive and encouragement.
「No Name」这个名字最初的灵感来源于「无名画会」,发起中国第一个现代艺术革命的地下画家团体。在某种意义上,「无名画会」是 60 年代初到 70 年代之间的前卫艺术。它秉承为「为艺术而艺术」的信念,拒绝媚俗,拒绝利益妥协。艺术上的特立独行和精神上的自由给予了 ta 们面对残酷和无常时光的力量。No Name Studio 最初的愿景也是希望能够发起中国当代城市艺术的新浪潮。「No Name」这个名字,是对先辈艺术家们的致敬,更是对自我的驱动和勉励。
About No Name In Town | 关于 No Name In Town
With the official launch of the first location of No Name In Town, No Name’s exclusive "Outside City Creation, Inside City Exhibition" mode has begun to take shape. In the near future, No Name will continue to apply the concept into practice and bring what “created outside city” by the member artists to be “exhibited inside city” through diversified "No Name In Town" forms, including art galleries and pop-up exhibitions. No Name prospects that this artistic creation and dissemination mode will generate a new way of life and work.
随着第一个 No Name In Town 的正式启动,No Name 独具特色的「外城市创作 · 内城市展览」模式也初具雏形。在未来,No Name 将继续将理念付诸于实践,通过在市中心的固定展厅、快闪展览等多样化的 No Name In Town 模式,将艺术家们的「外城市创作」带到城内,为大家带来「内城市展览」。No Name 希望这一艺术创作和传播模式能使一种新的生活与工作方式成为可能。
The first gallery of No Name In Town is located in central Jing'an, it is going to be an integration of in-town office and show room of No Name Studio. In this mini gallery facing the bustling street, DEZIO's series of artworks inspired by The Little Prince written by his great-uncle Alexandre de Saint Exupery will be launched on October 16 (Saturday). It is also going to be the first public exhibition of No Name In Town.
No Name In Town 的首个画廊坐落于静安区中心路段, 这将是 No Name Studio 在城中集办公室和画廊一体的展示区。在这个临街的迷你画廊中,DEZIO 以其叔祖父安托万·德·圣埃克苏佩里经典儿童文学作品《小王子》为灵感所创作的系列作品将在 10 月 16 日(周六)与大家见面。这也将是 No Name In Town 的首个公开展览。
The Little Prince is considered one of the best-selling books in the world. It has been published in more than 250 languages and has sold more than 200 million copies. Since the classic French children's literary first published in 1943, it has been widely adapted into radio plays, stage plays, movies, TV plays, ballets, musicals and other art forms and presented widely to generations of audiences.
《小王子》被认为是世界最畅销的书籍之一,迄今已出版 250 余种语言,售出逾两亿册。这个经典法国儿童文学故事自 1943 年首次出版以来,被广泛改编为广播剧、舞台剧、电影、电视剧、芭蕾舞剧、音乐剧等形式呈现在一代又一代观众面前。
As the third generation of the Saint Exupery family, DEZIO re-excavated his childhood memories during his residency at No Name Studio in Zhujiajiao. Through his unique artistic perspective and proficient graffiti skills, DEZIO reinterpreted The Little Prince in a contemporary abstract form and effectuated the transition of artistic content from literary arts to visual arts.
而作为圣埃克苏佩里家族的第三代,DEZIO 在朱家角的 No Name Studio 驻地期间重新挖掘了他的儿时记忆,通过他独特的艺术视角和纯熟的涂鸦技法,对《小王子》作出了当代的抽象诠释,实现了艺术内容从文字艺术到视觉艺术的迁徙。
Different art carriers such as literature, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, dance, drama, etc. are all languages used by artists to communicate with the world. Due to different cultural contexts, each generation has different understandings and insights of the same artistic content and presentation, meanwhile, artists record the world and imaginations of their generation in disparate ways. DEZIO's reinterpretation of his great-uncle's classic works is a narrative of the spiritual connotation of the same work of art in a different art carrier and era, and it is also a more influential presentation for our generation.
文学、绘画、雕塑、建筑、音乐、舞蹈、戏剧等不同艺术载体都是艺术家与世界沟通的语言,而每一代人因为所在文化语境的不同,对同样的艺术内容和呈现会有不同的理解和感悟,而艺术家们则用大相径庭的方式记录着同代人眼中的世界和 ta 们的想像。DEZIO 此次对其叔祖父经典作品的重新诠释是同一艺术作品的精神内涵在不同艺术载体和不同时代的叙述,也是更能影响我们这一代观众的呈现。
No Name In Town will also exclusively lit up a 24-hour "window of rose" for the mini exhibition and leave a lantern of art on for the city in cool autumn breezes.
No Name In Town 也为此次画展别出心裁地点亮了一个 24 小时常亮的「玫瑰之窗」。在这个微凉的初秋,为城市点亮一盏温暖的艺术之灯。
