Paul Bai

Untitled (Wind Charm), single channel video projection, timber, audio, 10’:00”, 2013

Paul Bai (b.1968, China) proposes a spiralling wind charm as an image to contemplate and reconcile. What is the reality of its orientation? Is it spiralling left or right, up or down? As the split projection suggests a physical orientation of the spatial context, the image that is separated by two leaning wall panels also introduces the projection space into the physical space of the gallery. To this extent, the blue sky, the gap between the panels, and the wall panels’ casually leaning position all demonstrate a spatial status that is temporal, indeterminate and liminal, and doesn’t adhere to the conventional binary tensions, or as the artist would call it – the Third Spatial Position.

《无题（风铃）》, 单屏投影装置，护墙板，音频, 10分种, 2013 白浦（生于1968年，中国）将螺旋上升的风铃作为图像去思考它的现实方向是什么？ 风铃的螺旋是向左或向右，向上或向下？分割开的投影在显示了展览空间的物理方 向的同时，两块依墙而立的墙板也将投影空间融入了展览的物理空间。在这个意义 上，投影里的蓝色天空背景和两块墙板之间的空隙同时展示了一种无定向，临时性 的、不确定的、临界的空间状态 — 正如艺术家所提出的“第三空间定位”。
