KARU SHAO个展｜记录：你是宇宙中的尘埃

  你 是 宇 宙 中 的 尘 埃  

宇宙依靠元素的组成和碰撞造就了化学反应

宇宙的化学反应产生了磁场

磁场刺激着感官/神经

感官/神经输入电波进大脑

大脑产出想法

而想法成为了人类行动的主要因素

The universe creates chemical reactions from composition and collision of elements. 

Chemical reactions create magnetic field.

Magnetic fields stimulate senses/nerves.

Sensory/neural input waves into the brain.

The brain produces ideas.

And ideas become a major factor in human action.

 记录 : 你是宇宙中的尘埃 

 Record : You are the Dust in the Universe 

作者自述：

再来，之后一边阅读书籍一边积攒此类作品，慢慢地此系列让我发现了且提出了一个假设：

宇宙尘（Cosmic Dust）是由众多细小粒子组成的一种固态尘埃，自宇宙大爆炸起，便四散在浩翰宇宙之中。和整个宇宙相比，我们生活在以毫米、公里所计量的感官世界里，并且不质疑地依赖、相信着自己的感官功能；和整个宇宙相比，我们的存在细小而微妙，在仅有的生命期间如何去探索宇宙成为了一大挑战。

Karu相信比三维空间更高的事物以“爱”（自体无法触摸的形式存在，但会产生改变）的方式存在；既心、感官。作为创作者她相信灵光闪现和宇宙的磁场存在着非常大的联系。宇宙依靠元素的组成和碰撞造就了化学反应，宇宙的化学反应产生了磁场，磁场刺激着感官/神经，感官/神经输入电波进大脑，大脑产出想法，而想法成为了人类行动的主要因素。每一个人类拥有的灵魂也包括在了宇宙之中，就像电子原子，灵魂也存在着正负原子极，正负互相吸引接受着对外的信息和感官，原子是以自我为主不会轻易变化。Karu通过拼贴的手法把生活中每一个容易被忽略遗忘的碎片记录下，用独特的手法将其改变成最陌生的摸样，并打破了传统空间展现的方式把作品放置到不同的空间进行组合向观众传达着不同的感官便可达到改变维度的效果。再通过日积月累和统计的过程把这些碎片模拟成宇宙尘（Cosmic Dust）至宇宙大爆炸前。

当然啦，这个主题还要更多的研究，希望大家放松看展，就像看科幻小说一样~

Karu Shao's artwork often breaks the traditional rules in art making. Her work explores the theme & relationship between one‘s subconscious and one’s own ability. In this solo exhibition , Karu Shao raised a hypothesis that “ things that you can not see or touch may be the key of exploring the universe”. Cosmic Dust, is dust which exists in outer space, or has fallen on Earth. We live in a sensory world measured by small units and we trust our senses without much doubt. Exploring the unknown space becomes a big challenge for us. In this series of work, the artist transforms ordinary landscape into unique individual images through collage. This series of works are shown in different order and media in every exhibition, presenting these altered scenery in a different spatially combination every single time. The work explores the unrealness of the real world. It also re-examine the process of “cognitive-thinking-recording”.

XIME hosts the solo exhibition of artist Karu Shao on from 26th July to 19 September. Karu Shao is a contemporary artist with multicultural background. Born in Shanghai, Karu spent most of her childhood growing up in Japan & Switzerland. She studied painting and dramatic art at the University of Miami. 

Karu Shao's work has been exhibited worldwide in galleries & museums including Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, The National Art Center Tokyo, Times Art Museum Beijing, Shanghai Exhibition Center, Czong Institute for Contemporary Art Korea.
