第七届上海双年展《国际饭店501》
星期日, 九月 28th, 2008武明中的《国际饭店501》由三部分组成。 其一是,将国际饭店501 房间作为展览现场,在十二扇窗户上安装了葡萄酒的玻璃装置,观众可以通过装置来观看人民广场。七十多年来,下榻501 房间的客人多数是上海的过客,501 房间既目睹了人民广场的历史变迁,也体会着来往房客的人生百态。同时,在上海美术馆北楼也安装有葡萄酒的玻璃装置,让观众从跑马厅得以与国际饭店501 房间一同遥视人民广场。其二是,绘制十二幅作品通过501 房间的十二扇窗户观看集物质、奢华、欲望、流动为一体的人民广场,体现了分隔、重叠、整合的综合表达。其三是,透过晃动于葡萄酒中的501房间窗户拍摄人民广场,传达时光流逝的瞬间和微妙的流动感。
Wu Mingzhong’s Park Hotel 501 is based on room 501 of the Park Hotel, and can be broken down into three parts: first it uses room 501 of the Park Hotel as an exhibition space, installing a glass container filled with wine in each of the room’s 12 windows. Visitors to the exhibition view The People’s Square through these containers. Over the past 70 years almost all of the guests that have stayed in this room were just passing through Shanghai, implying that the room has not only seen tremendous historical changes in The People’s Square, but also changes in the nature of the guests. At the same time these wine filled glass containers have also been installed in the northern wing of the Shanghai Art Museum, allowing visitors to see The People’s Square from a distance from both the racetrack and from Park Hotel 501. Second, Wu painted the views from the 12 windows in room 501 observing materialism, luxury, desire and movement in the Square. These paintings are displayed to match the arrangement of windows in room 501. Lastly, video images of The People’s Square were taken from hotel room 501, expressing spontaneity and fluidity through the movement of the wine.
