グッゲンハイム美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (グッゲンハイム美術館Instagram)「Recent acquisition to the #GuggenheimCollection: Liu Shiyuan (@shiyuanliu), “Almost Like Rebar No. 1” (2018) __ “Through photography, video, and installation, Liu Shiyuan explores the relationship between truth and meaning in today’s digital world. She examines how meaning and discourse can be manipulated and hybridized, feeding and shaping our understanding of mass culture, language, and identity. To make ‘Almost Like Rebar No. 1,’ Liu started by perusing a copyright-free sharing website where discarded photographs and videos from commercial shoots are uploaded. The resulting work presents these images embedded among those taken by the artist. Figures covered in fabric encapsulate the ‘dressed’ nature of these images in floating browser-like windows, each carefully choreographed inside an artist-made frame. Liu sees the irregularity and free-flowing geometry of the frame as a metaphor for herself always existing between cultural borders. Shiyuan’s work is an exceptional addition to our collection of contemporary photography and shows how artists today push the boundaries of this medium to challenge and refract the information and image-saturated condition of our post-internet age.”—Kyung An, Assistant Curator, Asian Art (@huikyungan) __ Purchased with funds contributed by the Young Collector’s Council, with additional funds contributed by Alexander Mason Hankin, 2018 #Guggenheim #LiuShiyuan」5月20日 7時59分
