About:

Solar Terms is an ancient Chinese calendar that sections 24 seasons within the year. These terms are differentiated by the changing seasons plants and climate and they were created by farmers to better know the agricultural landscape. To this day the solar terms let us understand and adapt to nature’s patterns and rhythm.

We are embracing ecological return in an art exhibition that features ink paintings hanging in the forest over the course of a year. Our organizer will document and track the changes of the artwork according to the solar terms.

Because Eastover Eco-Village is surrounded by hundreds of acres of pristine natural environment and is now a rare habitat where people animals forests and natural water sources coexist it is the perfect place for a dialogue between art and the environment. In a world where we people and art commonly interact we are instead letting art interact with the ecology and environment that we rely on for our survival.

Because of the characteristics of ink wash art the work already consists of natural properties. When these natural properties combine with the environment and the artwork is allowed to breathe this in the ink and paper will respond and take in what it will from nature.

Artwork can be placed in the midst of society’s hubbub or it can choose silence; when a piece of artwork is completed it becomes an independent individual. It has relationships with people or with nature that can form the trajectory of the work’s fate. With this exhibition existing for two months inside the gallery and for a year in the forest we observe both ends of the spectrum.


拥抱生态回归生态融入生态


2024水墨演义- 節氣


節氣是人类为适应自然,了解自然的节律后所赋予的称呼!節氣也是大自然的脉博跳动!2024水墨演义融入这个主题,决定把水墨作为一种生命形式与大自然共同演义展示生命与生态的足迹!


东来生态庄园是一个被数百英亩原始森林环抱,数百年来一直保持原始自然的净地,这里的起居修行严格执行对自然的二次污染!所有饮用水取自山间的天然泉水,所有排放水全部经过污水处理回流自然!使这里成为现代消费社会中极其难得的人,动物,森林,水源保留着原生态的自然和谐的栖息地!


同时这里也是北美著名的禅修道场,整个庄园具有极强的气场!


面对这样的环境,令我们不得不重新审视艺术的本源与艺术的回归,我们习惯了作品与人的对话,但今天作品将与生态与我们赖以生存的环境互动,让我们的观念作品与生态场景进行交融!


正是由于水墨艺术的特性,从纸到墨完全可以不用化学物质,使我们作品本身具备了天然属性,天然属性才能与天然环境交融,我们的作品将会呼吸,获得自然的滋润与馈赠,刻下时间的印迹!


艺术品可以身处喧哗,也可以选择静寂!


当一件作品被完成后,它就是一个独立个体了,它与谁发生关系,与那个空间那个场域发生关系,形成了作品本身的命运轨迹!


这次展览我们将利用山庄的天然优势,让作品同时在室内空间与生态空间驻立!


抽象水墨是艺术家的生命与精神印迹,让生态加持作品,隽刻与滋润作品,


让作品在户外放生,吸允天地精华!成为作品天然的渲染,让生命印迹与生态印迹迭合,我们将用四季时间来记录这不可预测的踪迹!这最终印迹才是作品的完成部分!也是东来山庄生态保护的一份报告!


这既是展览也是艺术事件,主办方将根据節氣拍摄跟踪作品在户外的变化!


让我们共同见证这一难忘的时间!
