m97画廊非常荣幸的推出《记忆与心情》－迟鹏的个人最新作品展。展览将于2011年7月2号开始，画廊会届时为艺术家在4点到6点举办开幕酒会。

"不断的猜想，不断的被打断，不断的被记起，不知道应该从哪段静止再开始，从哪段开始再去静止。不知道是带着昨天的心情，还是今天的心情，很多的事情在身边流过，有的很清晰，有的只是痕迹，心情总是好不过记忆。" – 迟鹏

《记忆与心情》展览将展出国际知名艺术家迟鹏的最新系列作品《心情总好不过记忆》，以及过去四年中的有名作品，包括《守望者》和《1981年6月19号》系列。

在五个大篇幅的全景照片中，《心情总好不过记忆》呈现了艺术家家乡－山东烟台的一个超现实的海景图。天空，水，鸟，以及迟鹏他我的人物形象，这些元素带给观众一些对艺术家意图的线索：虚幻的爱，瞬间的情感，回忆中的幸福，孤独，和对内心平静的寻找。

迟鹏（生于1981年）出生于中国山东省，并于2005年毕业于北京中央美术学院的数字传媒系。他的作品陈列于世界各地重要的博物馆，及艺术机构，包括荷兰的格罗宁根美术馆，巴黎的蓬皮杜中心，布达佩斯的Ludwig博物馆，布鲁塞尔的万国宫美术馆，阿姆斯特丹的COBRA博物馆，当代加拿大博物馆，首尔的国立博物馆。他目前在北京生活和工作。

m97 Gallery Shanghai is pleased to present “Mood and Memory”, a solo exhibition of CHI PENG’s new photographs. The exhibition begins on Saturday July 2, 2011, with an opening reception for the artist from 4:00 to 6:00pm in the gallery. The “Mood and Memory” exhibition presents the latest body of work by internationally renowned artist Chi Peng (b. 1981) titled “Mood Is Never Better Than Memory”, as well as a selection of his most recognized works from the last several years, including “Catcher” and “19.June.1981”.

In a suite of five large-format panoramic photographs, “Mood Is Never Better Than Memory” presents a surrealistic seascape of the artist's hometown, Yantai, Shandong Province, China. Sky, water and seabirds as well as Chi Peng’s alter-ego character give the viewer clues to the artist’s intended narrative: illusive love, fleeting emotion, happiness in memory, solitude, finding one's inner peace.

Chi Peng graduated in 2005 from the Digital Media Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. His works have been exhibited in major museums and art institutions around the world, including a solo exhibition at the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands currently on view. He currently lives and works in Beijing.
