NOWSHOWING當(dāng)下展是由UALCSSA倫藝學(xué)聯(lián)舉辦的年度藝術(shù)展覽，迄今為止共已成功舉辦十一屆。本展覽旨在為英國留學(xué)生提供一個(gè)展示與交流的平臺(tái)，發(fā)現(xiàn)藝術(shù)界新生代力量，向全世界展現(xiàn)我們的聲音。

 在過去很長的一段時(shí)間里，災(zāi)害洗劫全球，學(xué)聯(lián)的傳統(tǒng)與活動(dòng)也大受影響。時(shí)隔三年，倫敦藝術(shù)大學(xué)中國學(xué)聯(lián)再次將“當(dāng)下展”帶回倫敦，回到線下，與大家重逢。

 2022年當(dāng)下展主題為“無遠(yuǎn)不屆 Boundless”—打破邊界，以藝術(shù)家的身份與世界對話。

展覽主題

Statement

“元宇宙” (Metaverse) 無疑是今年最熱點(diǎn)的詞匯，它的出現(xiàn)引爆了科技和資本圈，這一全新的概念通過數(shù)字化形態(tài)承載的平行宇宙，可謂是“人造映射版”的現(xiàn)實(shí)世界，是基于形而上學(xué)(Metaphysics)的一種新宏觀。在虛擬世界中的每個(gè)個(gè)體都將不只有一個(gè)單一的身份，其生命也將從有限延伸到無限。通過“元宇宙”鏈接，可以擴(kuò)展我們的視覺、聽覺、觸覺等感知器官，同時(shí)也可以將虛擬化的項(xiàng)目融入進(jìn)物理世界，沉浸式地體驗(yàn)這平行宇宙中所發(fā)生的一切，可以進(jìn)行無盡的想象和創(chuàng)作…這是一種形而上的去中心化世界，但對于這樣的經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會(huì)及生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，征途邈若山河，人類仍有很長的路要走。

早在上個(gè)世紀(jì)末，關(guān)于“無國界”，“無邊界”的思想熱潮就已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)在公眾的視野中。隨著科技與互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)的發(fā)展，在如今21世紀(jì)，經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化和區(qū)域一體化的時(shí)代背景下，藝術(shù)與各行業(yè)的尖端領(lǐng)域相互融合發(fā)展，邊界不再是阻攔人類交流的壁壘，藝術(shù)的多元化也成為了時(shí)下潮流。

本次展覽旨在圍繞著去中心化思想打造一個(gè)無邊界的想象空間，也將在元宇宙的大觀下提供一個(gè)無邊界的平臺(tái)，無畏于界限；無畏于維度；無畏于現(xiàn)實(shí)，將超現(xiàn)實(shí)的假定感沉淀在我方的極樂世界中。

“無”具有積極、豐富、超驗(yàn)而多面的內(nèi)涵，也是藐視一切禁錮的存在。藝術(shù)思想是“無”盡的、“無”界的、“無”畏的、更是前沿的。我們邀請你們在這“無界”的世界里肆意定義，不僅需要形式上的變化與創(chuàng)新，更需要顛覆性的想法來討論時(shí)間、空間與人的關(guān)系。

此次展覽我們以“無遠(yuǎn)不屆 Boundless”為主題，面向全部有在英經(jīng)歷的留學(xué)生征稿。期待藝術(shù)家們運(yùn)用多學(xué)科、跨領(lǐng)域的方式對當(dāng)下進(jìn)行思考，以藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作為語言，用作品與觀者們來一場暢快的對談。

“Metaverse” is undoubtedly the most controversial idea of the year. Its emergence has detonated the technological field and the existing capitalism. This new concept of “parallel universes” sustained by digital forms can be expressed as “man-made mappings” of reality. It is a new macro concept based of metaphysics. In the virtual world, individuals will obtain more than one identity, and its life span will also extend from finite to infinite. Through the connections of the “metaverse”, we can thus expand our perception organs including vision, auditory, tangibility and such. Coherently, we can integrate virtualised projects into the physical realm, and experience events in the parallel world in an immersive manner. It can be a gateway to endless imagination and creativity. This is a metaphysical decentralised world, but the journey for such an economic, social and ecological world, the human species still has a long way to go.

As early as the end of the last century, the ideological craze for “boundlessness” has appeared in the public gaze. With the undergoing technological and internet development, in the 21st century, under the background of economic globalisation and regional integration. The art industry and the top notch fields of various industries have integrated and developed simultaneously together. The boundary between is no longer a barrier to human communication, and thus, the diversity of artistic transformation has also become part of the popular culture.

This exhibition aims to create a boundless communal space of imaginations focusing around decentralised ideas. It will also provide a borderless platform under the general view of the meta-universe, fearless in boundaries; fearless in dimensions; fearless in reality. Precipitate the surreal sense of assumption in our realm.

"Nothing" has multiple positive, rich, transcendental and multilateral connotations, and it also despises the existence of all imprisonment. Artistic visions are endless, unbounded, fearless and avant-garde. We invite you to join us in this boundless world, to define recklessly define and envision. This not only requires formal changes and innovations, but also subversive ideologies to discuss and explore the relationship between time, space and human beings.

With this year’s theme entitled “boundless”, we are calling for all international students with experience in the UK. It is expected that artists will use multi-disciplinary methods to visually communicate their visions about the present. Using their artistic creation as a transmission tool to commune between themselves and the audience.
