Def-i-n-i-tion: Mid-night marks the begin-ning and end of each civ-il day around the world. As the point of divi-sion between one day and anoth-er, mid-night is not eas-i-ly clas-si-fied as part of the day before or the day after. Although there is no glob-al con-sen-sus on this issue, mid-night is usu-al-ly con-sid-ered the begin-ning of a new day, asso-ci-at-ed with the hour 00:00.

　　我有很多次在午夜乘坐飛機(jī)的經(jīng)歷，飛機(jī)的轟鳴聲讓我會進(jìn)入一種似醒非醒的狀態(tài)。

　　午夜所呈現(xiàn)出來的模糊和矛盾與我近期的作品較為吻合：畫面指向性越來越不明顯。就像今年普利茲克獎的建筑師所傳達(dá)的“更少的建筑”理念一樣，我在嘗試的是“更少的繪畫”，即在可控的方法中尋找不可控的圖示。

　　這次展覽的作品都是圍繞時間的線索展開，嘗試探索作品中一種模糊時間的概念。

Many times I’ve been on a plane in the mid-dle of the night, and the roar of the plane has sent me into a kind of half-awake sta-tus.

The ambi-gu-i-ties and con-tra-dic-tions pre-sent-ed by mid-night are con-sis-tent with my recent works: The direc-tiv-i-ty of the work is less and less obvi-ous. Like the archi-tects who award-ed this year’s Pritzk-er Prize deliv-ered the idea of “l(fā)ess archi-tec-ture,” what I’m try-ing to do is “l(fā)ess draw-ing,” which is to look for uncon-trol-lable images in a con-trolled way.

The works in this exhi-bi-tion are all about the clues of time, try-ing to explore the vague con-cept of time in the works.

劉聰|Liu Cong

　　1988年生于遼寧大連，現(xiàn)工作生活于北京。他的作品涉及多種繪畫媒介和形式，他不拘泥于單一的繪畫表達(dá)，而更關(guān)注繪畫方法的建立，以及不同媒介之間的相互關(guān)系。他把自己的創(chuàng)作過程比喻為在城市中漫步，在體力消耗的同時總能發(fā)現(xiàn)一些有意思的畫面，從而尋找邊界和打破邊界。

Liu Cong

Born in 1988 in Dalian, Liaon-ing Province, now lives and works in Bei-jing. Liu Con-g’s works involve a vari-ety of paint-ing media and forms. He does not stick to a sin-gle paint-ing expres-sion, but pays more atten-tion to the estab-lish-ment of paint-ing meth-ods and the rela-tion-ship between dif-fer-ent media. He likens his cre-ative process to walk-ing in a city, find-ing inter-est-ing images while phys-i-cal-ly expend-ing, to find and break bound-aries.
