在3画廊很荣幸的宣布将于2017年5月27日举办艺术家雎安奇的个展《咏舞》，这也是在3画廊继去年成功举办他的录像个展《大字》后，今年推出的雎安奇最新的影像装置个展。
此次展览将以录像、声音、LED灯箱三种创作媒介组合而成。画廊壮观高阔的教堂空间将悬挂罕见的21米高的大银幕。二楼和三楼的空间分别是声音和LED灯箱装置。
本次展览的名称《咏舞》，来自于中国古代历代诗人都书写过的歌咏舞蹈的诗名“咏舞”。雎安奇的作品与古人目的一致，为了“咏舞”，他带着一台袖珍红外线摄像机在几乎全黑的地下色情舞厅进行拍摄和访问……
展览将首次呈现一种在部分城市存在了二十余年的地下舞蹈形式：砂舞。在黑暗拥挤的舞厅，男女双方身体敏感部位紧密接触，上下左右反复摩擦，形同砂轮打磨物件，顾名思义“砂舞”。成为当地普遍的底层社会娱乐方式。在画廊的二楼空间，声音装置里播放着艺术家和舞女对谈的声音采样，古诗里的轻盈飘逸幻化成刺耳的音乐和对白。三楼的LED广告灯箱是雎安奇常用的标志性创作媒介，其漫不经心滚动的那些“咏舞”古诗的字幕，则把通过阅读吟诵并借助想象力建构的“美姬歌舞”的风貌消退成公共空间的一块LED广告屏。
《咏舞》由来自美国匹兹堡大学师从高铭潞教授的美国策展人赖青琳（Ellen Larson）博士担任本次展览的策展人。
展览将于2017年5月27日（周六）下午4：00开幕，持续至2017年6月24日。

Being3 Gallery is proud to announce the solo exhibition of artist Ju Anqi , “Dance Aria”, on May 27th, 2017. This is the newest video installation solo exhibition Being3 Gallery has curated for Ju Anqi , after the success of last year’s video solo exhibition, “Big Characters”.
This exhibition will be composed of a combination of video, audio, and LED light boxes. A 21-meter tall screen will be hung in the Gallery’s soaring Church space. Audio and LED light box installations will be installed on the 2nd and 3rd floor, respectively.
The title of this exhibition, “Dance Aria”, comes from the tradition of ancient poets writing poems about dance, and naming these poems “Dance Aria”. Ju Anqi ’s work has the same intention as these poets — in order to write “Dance Aria”, he brought a mini infrared video camera into an almost completely dark underground erotic dance clubs in order to film and interview…
The exhibition will present an underground dance form that has existed in certain cities for twenty-something years: sand dance. On dark, crowded dance floors, men and women rub their private parts together, much like how grinders sand down objects, hence “sand dance”. This is a style of entertainment common to the working people of this area. On the second floor of the Gallery, audio installations play voice samples of the artist speaking with female dancers — the lightness of ancient poetry is transformed into deafening music and dialogues. On the third floor, LED light boxes, a signature medium of Ju Anqi , submerges the imagery of “beautiful dancers” in ancient poetry into commercial LED screens in public spaces.
“Dance Aria” is curated by Dr. Ellen Larson, of the University of Pittsburgh, and student to Professor Gao Minglu .
The exhibition will open on May 27th, 2017, at 4pm. It will be on until June 24th, 2017.
