INTRODUCTIONREALITYREALITY ANEW presents the works of Li Wei, who is internationally recognized as “China’s Number One Performance Artist”. This newest exhibition showcases photographs of his versatile performances that feature landscapes of Switzerland, France, Finland, Beijing and Hong Kong, exemplifying the artist's international outlook. Incorporating elements of pastiche and satire in his art works, Li Wei's whimsical representation of reality marvels the imagination of his viewers. The artist constantly challenges the limits of the human physique to inspire viewers to examine issues at fresh angles. He utilizes mirrors, metal wires, scaffolding and acrobatics in his photography and performance art as opposed to computer montages. While Li Wei's pursuit of his own artistic style is considered borderline dangerous by many, the artist enjoys the process of physical assertion and revels in the creation of imaginary realities. Graduating from the Oil Painting Department of the Oriental Culture and Art Institute in Beijing, Li Wei has been prominently featured in many notable publications. He has also been internationally exhibited in China, USA, Spain, Morocco, Turkey, Italy, Japan and Cambodia. The artist lives and works in Beijing.

簡介「現實再演」是次展出國際知名「中國行為藝術第⼀一人」李暐的作品。這個展覽展出了他變化萬千的行為藝術照片, 作品特載了瑞士、法國、北京和香港的風貌,體現出藝術家的國際視野。李暐將「拼貼」和諷刺的元素融入作品中,天馬行空地呈現現實,衝擊觀眾的想像力。

李暐不斷挑戰人體極限,驅使觀眾從新的角度審視問題。他的作品在攝影和行為藝術李暐不斷挑戰人體極限,驅使觀眾從新的角度審視問題。他的作品在攝影和行為藝術中利用鏡子、金屬線、支架和雜技造出效果。縱然不少人認為李暐在追求自己藝術風格時游走於危險的界線,他仍然十分享受挑戰人體物理界限的過程,沉醉於創造假想現實。

李暐畢業於北京東方文化藝術學院油畫系,不少著名刊物均載有他的介紹。他的作品在世界各地廣泛展出,展出地包括:中國、美國、西班牙、摩洛哥、土耳其、意大利、日本和柬埔寨。李暐現於北京生活和工作。

湖上8米高的不銹鋼雕塑是瑞士藝術家Jean – Pierre Zaugg 1995年二月放置 的藝術品, 以紀念 Vevev當地的食品博物館 The Alimentarium 成立10週年。

李暐經過雕塑的時候,只覺很想“跟叉子⼀一起叉進河裡”。 對李暐來說,Zaugg作品的吸引力於它在西方文化中的象徵意義,與筷子在中國文化中的相似。是次表演是即興的,反映了他敢於嘗試、冒險的精神。

The original 8-­meter tall stainless steel sculpture was erected in the lake in Februrary 1995 by Swiss artist Jean-­Pierre Zaugg to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Vevev’s local museum dedicated to food – the Alimentarium.

UponUpon passing the sculpture, Li simply felt compelled to ”stick into the lake with the fork” (translation). According to Li, this gravitation towards Zaugg’s piece is due to its emblematic association with Western culture-­ the fork being analogous to its Chinese counterpart: chopsticks. The act was not planned but rather an impulsive enactment demonstrating his daring and adventurous mentality.

Li’s recent “Buddha” series take a slightly religious turn and is influenced by the popular Chinese mythology The Journey

to the West. “Buddha at St. Moritz”in particular plays with the traditional Buddhism imagery of the Buddha sitting on a lotus.

While lotuses grow in the mud, their flowers are clean and pure, symbolizing peacefulness amidst a chaotic world. Through

mimicking the imagery, Li presents a balance of mind. Spirituality aside, there is always a sense of humor and wild imagination

in Li’s work.
