[我们都是木头人，不许说话不许动，看谁的立场最坚定]
周翊个展

西五艺术中心将于2010年8月8日至9月5日举办 “我们都是木头人，不许说话不许动，看谁的立场最坚定”–周翊个展，展览将展出周翊一系列的绘画，物体和图片组合。

周翊1972年生于北京，1991年移民美国。先后在纽约的库伯联盟和费城的泰勒美术学院学习绘画和雕塑并参与了缅因州的斯考溪根艺术营。2007年回国后在中央美术学院造型学院油画系任教。在过去的5年之中把包豪斯的跨领域艺术的普及教育带入一个由师徒制度建立起来的专业美术体系，并活跃在造型、设计和建筑等各个央美院系。

周翊的作品极富实验性，呈现出有系统、有秩序、简洁的构成，在理性的框架中探求日常生活中感性的内容，他的作品和游戏有着密不可分的关连 - 是关于向内心求知的“游戏“。游戏比文化更古老，赫伊津哈在《游戏的人》中说过游戏是文化形成的必要因素。

我们不希望通过某种流派的概念来形容周翊的作品，那么试想:如果维特根斯坦做艺术，作品会是怎样？

[We are all wooden people, don’t say a word and do not move, let’s see who can take a firm stand]
Zhou Yi Solo Exhibition

Opening Reception: 8th August, 2010 Sunday 20:00-22:00
Venue: C5Art
Address: Building F，Xiwu Street, 5 Sanlitun
Chaoyang District, Beijing 100027

From August 8 to September 9, 2010, C5Art will present [We are all wooden people, don’t say a word and do not move, let’s see who can take a firm stand] – a solo exhibition from Zhou Yi, featuring a series of paintings, objects, video and photographic works.

Zhou Yi was born in 1972 in Beijing, immigrated with his family to the United States in 1991 and lived there for 14 years. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Cooper Union School of Art and MFA in Painting from Tyler School of Art, served an artist residency at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. In 2005, Mr. Zhou returned back to China, was offered teaching from the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing, where he spent last five years developing a　pedagogical approach to art education based on the inter-disciplinary foundation　course in color study developed by Josef Albers, which was first introduced at the Weimar Bauhaus, Black Mountain College and later at Yale University.

Zhou Yi’s experimental works capture subtle and everyday experiences in orderly structures. Based on rules, the objects and paintings are able to reveal various aspects of subjective perception. For the same reason the works are inextricably connected to play – games which are introspective and knowledge seeking. After all, Johan Huizinga suggested in his book “Homo Ludens” (Playing Man) that play is a necessary condition in the generation of culture.
