海上明月共潮生
艺术家  戴陈连
展期  Jul. 15 - Sep. 3, 2017
开幕  Jul. 15 (Sat.) 4 pm
地点  A+ Contemporary 亚洲当代艺术空间｜中国上海市莫干山路50号7号楼106室

A+ Contemporary 亚洲当代艺术空间荣幸地宣布，我们即将于2017年7月15日举行戴陈连的个展“海上明月共潮生”。中国美术学院油画系出身，而后转入剧场实践与创作，戴陈连通过对时间、语言和剧场本身的自然展示，质问并反思关于创作方式、展示动机以及作品形态等问题。展览将持续至2017年9月3日。

本展是戴陈连延续其“家庭剧场计划”思路下的一次新的实践，展名“海上明月共潮生”取自唐代诗人张若虚的名篇《春江花月夜》，艺术家借由诗文所表现的意象，在展览空间内构筑一个表演、绘画、文字、声音、影像与装置等多种形式交互作用的剧场，循着一叶小舟漂洋过海并最终停泊在上海的历史线索，展开对画廊从业者个体经历的叙述和想象。开幕当天下午 4:30pm，艺术家戴陈连将于A+ Contemporary 亚洲当代艺术空间举行现场表演，欢迎大家前来参加！

A Bright Moon Surging Upon Tide
Artist  Dai Chenlian
Duration  Jul. 15 - Sep. 3, 2017 
Reception  Jul. 15 (Sat.) 4 pm
Venue  A+ Contemporary ｜Room 106, Bldg. 7, 50 Moganshan Road, Shanghai, China

A+ Contemporary is pleased to announce the opening of artist Dai Chenlian’s solo exhibition “A Bright Moon Surging Upon Tide” on July 15th, 2017. With a degree in Oil Painting from China Academy of Art, Dai Chenlian shifted his focus to the creative practices of theatre after graduation. Through the representation of time, language and theatre’s innate quality, Dai queries and reconsiders questions revolving around the creative methods, motives of exhibiting, forms of artwork and so forth. The exhibition will be on view through September 3rd, 2017.

This exhibition is a new interpretation which follows the same train of thought as Dai Chenlian’s Family Theater Project. The exhibition is named after the famous poem “A Flowery Moonlit Night by the Spring River” by Zhang Ruoxu, a poet from the Tang Dynasty. The artist borrows from the imagery of the poetic verses to construct a space where various art forms, such as performance, painting, text, sound, video and installation interact with one another. With the artist pursuing the historical clues left by a small raft as it drifted across the ocean and finally sought shelter in Shanghai, an invitation is granted to begin detailing and imagining the individual experiences of gallerists. There will be a live performance during the opening on July 15th at 4:30pm by Dai Chenlian at A+ Contemporary, welcome to join us !
