视界艺术中心将于本月推出世界末日第二展，由周冰心策划的“为了明日的聚会”，展览将于12月9日开幕至明年1月10日，展览期间并将于12月22日推出末日后的派对。
展览将“末日”视为一个假想的告别进行一次幽默而感伤地演绎。假想告别的伤感中带着对不确定的明日聚会的期待。末日是一个关于时间的不确定性的隐喻，所有的哀伤、恐惧和间或的喜悦都来自时间。
在展览中，刘真辰的视频作品《别了》展现的是一个戏剧性的告别场景，登船挥别的人们令人想起福柯所言的“愚人船”——一个漂浮的“无所之所，独立存在，自我封闭，同时又受到无垠大海的摆布”。马翀的摄影《文明之光》沿袭了艺术家对城市主题的一贯关注，幻灯片的节奏伤感而反讽地衬托出文明之光的消逝。殷漪的声音装置《离别》则通过社会性的视角，关注正在离开社会主体地位的老年群体仿佛被遗弃的告别。
体验高洁的装置作品《磨损》是对时间的一次体验——穿越时间的夹缝。廖斐的水彩长卷《延绵的石头》像是一个超现实的未知怪物延绵于展场，而房奇的造型怪异的冰块从作品主体蔓延至展场其他地方：这是不确定性的怪诞。
关注作品本身的时间性，展览亦将籍由末日后的派对试图实现展览本身的一次游戏式的转换。房奇的《魔棒》通过作品材料本身，马翀的《惯性思维》通过作品呈现方式的变化来实现作品形态和意义在末日前后的转变。艺术家在尝试作品流动状态的可能性，从而打破一次展览的单一叙事。而刘任的作品关注预言和末日（12月21日）这个时间点本身，作品将于末日后展出，在随后的派对上即可看到。
此外，值得一提的是本次展览亦是Boo York的终身项目《好莱坞，请等等我》的首次发布，开幕当日会有艺术家本人的行为表演。
V Art Center is pleased to present an exhibition All Tomorrow’s Parties, curated by Ivy Zhou, opening on Sunday, December 9th, 2012 and continuing through January 10th, 2013. The opening reception will be on December 9th, 4 - 6 pm and an additionally Party will take place on Dec. 22nd, 6 - 8 pm.
The exhibition is a humorous but melancholic interpretation of the idea of “the end of the world” – as an imaginary farewell. The melancholy of imaginary farewell also implies the expectations for a reunion party, though all tomorrow’s parties remain uncertain. The anxiety of departure becomes a metaphor for the fear of uncertain time. All of the sadness, fear and sometimes joy come from an uncertainty of return.
In this exhibition, Liu Zhenchen’s video work L’Adieu presents a dramatic departure scene: people waving at a departing cruise ship, which recalls not only the Biblical tale of Noah's Ark, but also Michel Foucault’s “Narrenschiffen” (Ship of Fools). Ma Chong’s photograph The Light of Civilization continues the artist’s interests in the subject of city, while his slideshow makes the light of civilization fade away slowly and ironically. Farewell is Yin Yi’s latest sound installation, which takes a social perspective, concerning the older generation who feel abandoned when leaving a major social position.
To experience Gao Jie’s installation Abrasion gives the experience of time – walking through the passage the work creates which symbolizes the crevice of time. Liao fei’s watercolor scroll Stone shows up in the exhibition, like an unknown monster, along with Fang Qi’s surreal ice crumbs spreading throughout the exhibition space – all these give a feeling of the weird uncertainty.
The exhibition tries to playfully change the meaning of the artworks, either through the material of the work, for example Fang Qi’s ice work Magic Wand, or by the way how the work displays, like Ma Chong’s hanging installation Inertial Thinking. These artists are experimenting with the possibility of transformation of form and meaning of a specific artwork during the exhibition, before, and after. The works are in a continuous state of flux. While Liu Ren’s work focuses on the day December 21st particularly, as which is said to be the end day of the world. His work will be shown after 21st. Then the party follows on the next day.
In addition, on the occasion of this exhibition, will be the first presentation of Boo York’s ongoing life-project Hollywood, Wait for Me, and will be performed by the artist at the opening.
