“我偶然在一户人家读到了威廉莫里斯的政治幻想小说《乌有乡消息》News from Nowhere。这部长篇小说记述：在主人公在参加了一次有关社会主义问题的讨论后，回家做了一场梦。” —叶甫纳
I once read a political fiction novel News from Nowhere of William Morris by accident. The book is about a dream one had after joining a debate on socialism. --- Ye Funa
同在3月29日－5月22日，视界艺术中心2空间 会呈现艺术家叶甫纳的最新个人项目！“炸金花”是中国民间流传的扑克游戏；取其字面意思，“金花”有当地漂亮女子之意，“炸金花”又像一道菜名 。
新作基于家乡云南的丽江仕满村的过境驻地，打牌和麻将是无所事事的小镇青年消磨时光的方式。叶甫纳更感兴趣的，是乡镇生活“低科技”产品及其中的民俗审美趣味，相异于大众意识里的“完美”风景。那些人工合成的“第二自然”常替代艺术，作为装饰出现在各处生活场景。
这些素材基本取自丽江和附近的仕满村，对当地25位16－30岁年轻人的采访、采集。整个经历帮助艺术家获得“乡村的视野”，借着他人的“身份”走进今天新农村剧变、失血的过程。青春理想在现实的挤兑中走向疲软的自我娱乐。理想中的“好风光”是田园将芜胡不归的“乌托乡”。
展览特别鸣谢 杨玉蓉 女士的倾情赞助
In the meantime, we would like to particularly call your attention to the upcoming exhibition opened on Saturday, March 29th titled “News from Nowhere” at V ART CENTER space 2. The exhibition is based on a residence project of the artist Ye Funa (b. 1986, Yunnan Province) at her homeland Shiman, a small village close to Lijiang Town. Playing CARDS and MAJIANG is way of wasting time for the youngster in the town. By interviewing 25 local young people aged from 16 to 30, she gives insight into the drastic changes that rural-to-urban migration brings to “the new countryside”. Inspired by the low-tech products in rural life and their folklore aesthetic taste, she express flourishing creativity through her latest installation and video work. Different with the ideal scenery in mass consciousness, the artificial “second nature” substitutes real art, appearing as decoration in the scenes of life.
Young dreams are overwhelmed by the harsh reality and gradually turn to listless self-entertainment. Why not going back to hometown - the “ideal utopia”?
