北京空白空间White Space,Beijing 2009.11.17-2010.1.9刘文涛在“空白空间”的个展取名“观(View)”——展览名称无论从汉字,还是从英文,在本义上都隐含着“仔细看”的意思,如果将其视作对于观者所提出的某种要求,那么它也并绝非是针对视觉器官的惰性而发起的一次道德责难,而是对“观看”作为一种知觉行为的一次积极响应。的确,任何带有文学色彩的展览名称都难以容纳刘文涛作品的全部,当我们在展厅里看到这些被统称为《无题》的形式主义艺术 Beijing Space White, Beijing 2009.11.17-2010.1.9 Liu Wentao named his solo exhibition “Space” “View ” - the name of the exhibition is both in Chinese and English. Implies the meaning of “look closely ”, if regarded as a request made by the viewer, it is by no means a moral censure initiated against the inertia of visual organs, “Watch” as a positive response to a conscious act. Indeed, any exhibition title with a literary color can hardly accommodate all of Liu’s artwork, as we see in the gallery, these are collectively referred to as “Untitled” Formalist Art
