第七届上海双年展《移魂城市》
星期一, 十一月 24th, 2008陈赟是出生于1980年代的艺坛新秀。她以天马行空般的想象力，将城市与网络及其情感的迁徙在《移魂城市》中加以独特的诠释。她将城市比喻为一个发酵的有机体—母体。这个母体不断锤炼着人的肉体和灵魂。城市是一个众多欲望集合的载体，它有一种莫名的魔力吸引更多的人涌入，去寻求某种非凡的价值。城市在接纳了移民和流动人口汇聚后的能量，开始在各方面不断膨胀，这些膨胀造就成一幅富丽堂皇、生机勃勃的景象；而这种强大引力的召唤又促使更多的人来了又走，穿梭在一座座城市里，不断变换着自己的身份和心情，去追求梦一般的蝶境。
Born in the 1980s, Chen Yun is an emerging Chinese artist. With her wild imagination, she successfully depicts networks of migrants through cities in her work, The Moving Spirit of the City. She compares the city to a fermenting organic body-a maternal body, which presents relentless challenges to the human body and soul. The city is the aggregation of desires, and has a mystical allure that seduces the inflow of more people inebriated with the dream of realizing some extraordinary ideal. As it assimilates these migrants and visitors, the city grows and expands with the energy of its new denizens, creating a magnificent and lively scene. Because of the powerful allure of cities, many people move from one urban locale to another, their own identities redrawn constantly as they seek fulfillment of their dreams and ideals.
