录像 video, 2004 8’18’ |
拍摄30个不同人物形象（各自装扮成相同的上海新形象），将头像按顺序连接，让观 众看起来好象既有变化（不同的脸型），又没有变化（相同的装束）。电视机画面竖放，（无声） In this video, 30 different images of people were taken. They all dressed the same as in The New Image of Shanghai, and arranged in sequence, which seems different (the different faces), yet it looks the same as before. The TV set is placed vertically. There is neither voice over nor background music. |

将一个单人床用细钢丝绳吊挂在离地约5米的高度，床单一直延伸至地面。床底倒挂 一旋转的吊扇，床单微拂，如梦天堂。至于是否危险，与我无关。 A single bed is wired up 5M above the floor. The length of the bed sheet is extended to the floor. A fan is placed under the bed so as to make the sheet flap in the air. It creates a heavenly environment for dreaming. (Is it dangerous? It’s none of my business.) |

综合媒介装置 -高约7.3米 Mixed media installation 7.3 meters app. 2003 |
充气建筑四边各按一个连动的打气筒，如没有观众参与时，充气建筑顶端部分会泄气， 倾斜。只有当观众参与打气时，顶端才会坚挺，并会发出一阵阵嘹亮的歌剧咏叹调 Instead
of concrete, this building-like figure is made of plastic, and it can only
stand up straight by pumping the four air pumps which are attached to the
four sides of the building. It will also play an aria when it’s up. If no one
pumps in air, air will then leak from the top of the structure and the
building will collapse.

综合媒介装置 Mixed media installation 2003 |
A. 将飞碟停在美术馆的楼顶平台上，想象飞往太空 B. 飞碟内有一旋转的粉红色充气骨，并发出约10位艺术家关于打开天空的言论。观众只有钻入孔内才能倾听。此时，看起来既象一个飞碟，又象一只王八 A. Imagine flying to space by parking the ‘flying object’ on the roof top of the art museum. B. There is a pink air-puffed object which spins inside of the flying object. While spinning, there are speeches by 10 artists which talks about the exhibition, ‘Opening Up The Sky’. Audiences can listen to the speeches by poking their heads into the hole of the flying machine. This installation not only looks like a flying object, it also looks like a tortoise. |

录像装置 video installation, 2002 |
这件作品的基本想法来自于我对抛物线的想象：比如，一根宠物骨抛向远处带着如彩虹般的弧线划过天空又落下。我把这种想象引申为二根分别由无数药盒与粉色霓虹灯构成的长约6米的弧线，它们上下平行地吊挂在天花板上。在它们的首端，同时吊挂着一只画面朝下的迷你显示屏。影像内容由如宠物般觅食与奔跑的一对局部的手以及淡化叠置的“新形象”在飞翔的二组形象组成。随着音乐的变化由慢至快、由慢镜头至快镜头的交替切换中进行着。在地上，我安置了二只红色充气床，观众在观看时，必须躺下。 The basic idea of this piece comes from the imagination of a para-curve: for example, a dog's bone thrown afar falls along a rainbow-like curve line in the sky. I further extend this imagination to a curve of about six meters constituted by numerous medicine boxes and pink neon lights, which is hung from the ceiling, parallel to one another vertically. At the upper end, I’ve hung a mini-screen facing downwards. The picture is comprised of a pair of hands like a pet hunting and racing for food. It develops with the change of music and the exchange of slow scene and fast scene and slow-fast scenes. On the ground, I place two red air beds, such that the viewers must lie before they see them. |

Text On the Exhibition:

"The Heaven. The World ---- "Photography video, installation solo show by Shi Yong. The personal exhibition of the Shanghai based artist Shi Yong will be held at the Shanghart Gallery in Fuxing Park (Part I: The Wolrd) and in the ShanghART Suzhoucreek Warehouse (Part II: The Heaven) in this 'bright and magnificent fall'. This will be a pretty complete exhibition for Shi Yong's works of the recent years. The exhibition will consist of "The Heaven" and "The World"; "Part I: The World" will be shown at Shanghart Gallery in Fuxing Park and include video installation and photographic works. A simple inauguration will be held as well. The other part "The Heaven" will be exhibited in Shanghart Suzhou Creek warehouse, the huge lightening box and other devices with three to four meters height will be showed together with some large photography works. "Shi Yong's works make wide use of irony and involves often people in the making, it becomes an entertaining and sharp tool that helps to perceive the speed of the stream of communication and growth of Shanghai, China today". Shi Yong, born in Shanghai in 1963, graduated from the Fine Art Department of Light Industrial School in 1985, lives and works in Shanghai. Shi Yong has shown widely in China (incl Shanghai Biennale 2002, ) and overseas (Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum, 2001, Biennale de Sao Paolo 02 etc). He recently participated in a workshop with Robert Wilson in NY. "'Could Fly Higher' is an another video installtion. The basic idea of this piece comes from the imagination of a para-curve: for example, a dog's bone thrown afar falls along a rainbow-like curve line in the sky. Or another example, a linear index flies from this end to another of the electronic screen along its flying curve like a supersonic plane, which is like imagination and hope may be repeated one time after another. I further extend this imagination to a curve of about six meters constituted by numerous medicine boxes and pink neon lights, which is hung from the ceiling, parallel to one another vertically. At the upper end is hung a mini-screen facing downward. The picture is comprised of a pair of hands like a pet hunting and racing for food and faintly overlapped flying "New Image". It develops with the change of music and the exchange of slow scene and fast scene and slow-fast scenes. Under the effect of strong gravity (the invisible existence of the image of a pet), appears an illusive scene cased as of by hallucinogenic: carefully looking targets at a time and energetic and running like flying at another; full of fantasies at a time and crazy like a fly suddenly at another. On the ground, I place two red air beds, such that the viewers must lie before they see them. The arrangement of this way of viewing comes from the childhood experience when I lay on a long chair, getting cool air, looking up at the starry sky, full of various whimsical ideas. I think this piece is suitable for the way of viewing." --Shi Yong 在秋高气爽的日子里，香格纳画廊将会在复兴公园展厅和苏州河仓库同期举行上海艺术家施勇的个展：“天上.人间”--施勇摄影，录像，装置展，这是施勇近年来创作作品相当完整的展现。这个展览分“天上”，“人间”二个部分：其中“人间”部分，在香格纳画廊复兴公园的展示厅中举行，届时会展出一个施勇最新创作完成的装置摄影作品，一个纯摄影作品，及一些最近来的摄影作品。另有一个小型的开幕式。 而“天上”部份则会在香格纳画廊苏州河仓库同期举行，展品除一些大型摄影作品后，更有3至4米巨型灯箱、装置作品。(参观香格纳画廊仓库请预约)。 施勇，生于1963年，出生于上海，毕业于上海轻工业专科学校美术系，现在工作生活于上海。 在广州，我创作了另一件录象环境装置《可以飞得更高》。这件作品的基本想法来自于我对抛物线的想象：比如，一根宠物骨抛向远处带着如彩虹般的弧线划过天空又落下。又比如一条线性指数带者如超音速飞机般的飞行弧度由电子屏的这一端划向那一端，就象想象与期待可以一次接着一次地重复。我把这种想象引申为二根分别由无数药盒与粉色霓虹灯构成的长约6米的弧线，它们上下平行地吊挂在天花板上。在它们的首端，同时吊挂着一只画面朝下的迷你显示屏。影像内容由如宠物般觅食与奔跑的一对局部的手以及淡化叠置的“新形象”在飞翔的二组形象组成。随着音乐的变化由慢至快、由慢镜头至快镜头的交替切换中进行着。在强引力的作用下（一种宠物骨意象的无形存在）呈现出一种如迷药般导致的幻觉景象：时而认真细心寻找目标，时而又快疾如飞充满斗志，一会儿是充满幻想，一会儿又突然如苍蝇般变得癫狂。在地上，我安置了二只红色充气床，观众在观看时，必须躺下。以这种观看方式来处理，是因为小时候乘凉，睡在躺椅中，仰望着满天繁星时的那种想入非非的经验。我认为这件作品非常适合于这种观看。 --施勇
