présentation - 展览介绍 :
Carrier is the second solo exhibition of Gao Lei after The Principle (2011) at WHITESPACE BEIJING, featuring his latest paintings and installations.
The transformation of objects and materials is what Gao Lei made for ridding the normal elements in his works of the guidance of usual practice, showing a state of alienation and subversion, which motivates viewers to reflect and estimate the disposition and divergence between awareness of selves and essence of things. In the recent works, he focuses on exploring the extensibility of individual energy as well the evolution of matter, and combining them to invade and adjust the relationship between the self-interior and the social system.
All the selected and transformed objects and materials have their own energies with a certain quantity. The energies cannot be released from reality environment are transferred and saved into the artworks with codification as the names. Their distribution and composition in different ways create various energy fields to intermix with the awareness of viewers, which is the way to use space, matter, energy and consciousness to get another self-constitution. This creation of energy transforming balances virtually the subjective extension against the objective system.
Born in Hunan in 1980, graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2006,Gao Lei currently lives and works in Beijing.
《载体》是高磊继2011年《经纬》后在空白空间北京的第二次个展，展出艺术家最新的绘画以及装置作品。
高磊善于借用对物的改造使其作品中的日常元素摆脱经验惯性的引导，在观者面前呈现出一种被颠覆异化的状态，引发观者反思、判断自我意识与事物本质之间既有的差异和错位。他近期的实践更着重于探索物质的进化与个体能量的扩展性，并在两者结合的过程中对自我与社会系统之间的关系进行干预和调整。
此次个展中，高磊选择并改造后的每件物品都有某种与其自身相似的能量与频率，他把那些在现实系统中无法释放掉的能量通过改造日常物的方式存储其中，并用编码的形式来命名。它们依据空间的形态以不同的方式分布组合，试图形成各种不同的能量场与观者的意识混合产生反应，这个过程也是艺术家借用空间、物质、能量、观者意识来建构另一个自我的方法，同时他将利用这种被物化扩张后的自我与现实社会系统保持一种虚拟的平衡来抵御外部对个体的改造与同化。
高磊，1980年生于湖南，2006年毕业于中央美术学院。现工作和居住在北京。
