Wind H Art Center, Beijing, China

青年艺术家杨放个展“Ciao ! Birthday Party”将于2023年6月3日15:00,于山中天艺术中心·玄馆的北侧空间正式开幕,展览持续至2023年7月9日。

我经常想该以什么样子的方式给我的“女孩”们办一场属于她们的生日派对,在派对上我会邀请我最好的朋友,和她们最要好的朋友一起快乐的谈论未来的模样。

在那里,或许我们都会成为有着猫瞳孔的样子,留下的眼泪掉落在地上也会化为珍珠,最后再长成鲜花草木,所以,这个世界是带有温润咸味的,或许正是这样才会显得生动且有趣,而世界也才会变得更加温暖包容。

我很开心能够在这样一个鼓励大家敢于“十点睡觉”的艺术空间为我们“女孩”们举办生日宴会,因为我觉得早点睡觉她们才会早日长大,成为不再哭泣的女孩,也成为敢于笑着面对生活和未来的女孩。也许她们现在还有诸多“稚嫩”,但我希望她们能够一直保持这份稚嫩来面对自己的“艺术人生”,敢于在任何时间任何地点勇敢的展露自己的快乐和悲伤,并用着这一份“勇敢”不断的让更多的朋友敢于袒露自己的心情。而为了鼓励她们,同时也为了鼓励我自己,我为所有人准备了生日无敌“大蛋糕”,并邀请所有的朋友家人沉浸在派对的愉悦之中,为这些稚嫩但勇敢的“女孩”们说上一句:生日快乐!

Young artist Yang Fang has a solo exhibition "Ciao! Birthday Party will officially open at 15:00 on June 3rd, 2023, and the exhibition will last until July 9th, 2023.

I often think about how to give my "girls" a birthday party that belongs to them. At the party, I will invite my best friends to talk happily about the future with their best friends.

There, perhaps we will all become like cats' pupils, and the tears left on the ground will turn into pearls, and finally grow into flowers and plants. Therefore, the world is moist and salty, which may make it vivid and interesting, and the world will become more warm and inclusive.

I am very happy to be able to hold a birthday party for our "girls" in such an art space that encourages everyone to dare to go to bed at ten o'clock, because I think that if they go to bed early, they will grow up as soon as possible and become girls who stop crying and dare to face life and the future with a smile. Maybe they still have a lot of "immaturity", but I hope they can always keep this immaturity to face their "artistic life", dare to show their happiness and sadness bravely at any time and any place, and use this "courage" to constantly let more friends dare to show their feelings. In order to encourage them, but also to encourage myself, I prepared an invincible "big cake" for everyone, and invited all my friends and family to immerse themselves in the joy of the party and say a word for these immature but brave "girls": Happy birthday!
