2016年9月17日，香格纳画廊北京空间荣幸地推出胡介鸣个展—《共时》，本次展览也是艺术家在香格纳北京的第一个个展。展览将由《共时》（2016）、《残影》（2013-至今）、《与快乐有关》（1999）这三件／组不同时间跨度的作品组合而成。
《共时》是艺术家最新完成的一件大画幅数字合成录像作品，作品将占据展厅整个7米乘20米的墙面，影片采用大合照的方式呈现跨时空地域的群像，这些大合照中的人物身份是杂交的，形成特殊的时空关系将多个不同合照场景进行转场切换叙事。艺术家采用数字技术把不同地域、年代和身份的人物聚合在一起，用影像合成技术激活他们脸部的表情动态，让残损图片中的人物叙事，传递远处的信息。
展厅周围环绕的60多个小影像—《残影》同样来自远处的时空，它们是单个影像，就像相册中的景象，以人和景物分组呈现。在展厅中央将呈现艺术家1999年的影像装置作品《与快乐有关》，来自身体内部的信息所发出悠扬的琴声将回荡在这跨时空的对话氛围当中。
ShanghART Beijing is pleased to present Hu Jieming’s first solo exhibition: Synchrony in Beijing on September 17th, 2016. The exhibition will combine three sets of artworks from different time spans: Synchrony (2016), The Remnant of Images (2013-now) and Related to Happiness (1999).
Synchrony is Hu Jieming’s latest work. It is a large-scale digit synthesis video that will take up the entire expanse of the exhibition room’s wall (7×20 meters). The style of group shots is used to present a gathering of people that appears to spread across the realms of space and time. The identities of these people are hybridized, creating a unique space-time relation and a narrative that switches back and forth between settings. The artist employs digital technology to assemble people from different areas, eras and social hierarchy, and uses image synthesis technology to activate their facial expressions and movements. Hence, the fragments of people in the image can narrate and deliver information from afar.
The Remnant of Images consists of more than 60 videos with different screen sizes and will be scattered around the exhibition room. The images of the video are also from a distant time and space. They are single images much like scenes within a photo album, and are divided into categories of “people” and “scenery”. In the center of the exhibition room will be the artist’s video installation Related to Happiness created in 1999. The lyrical sounds generated from the body itself will echo melodiously in this dialogue between the past and present.
