汉斯.欧普.德.贝克: 默演
北京常青画廊(2009年1月17日)
中国首次个展
比利时视觉艺术家汉斯.欧普.德.贝克(1969生人)的作品多种多样，包括巨形雕塑装置，影像，动画影片，雕塑，绘画，摄影，短篇小说，舞台设计。他的大部分作品是以人类在后现代时期里的超脱及自我失落的想法为根据的。
艺术家设想并构建虚构的当代都市场景及情形，有时也描绘进一些人物，使参观者感到十分熟悉(亲切)。他的设置包括两个隐秘点，适用于内心反省也适用于居住着看起来格格不入的居民的拥挤区域。他作品于反映我们日常的生活、梦想、志向以及我们对时间、空间和互相之间的感知为亮点。汉斯.欧普.德.贝克的视觉语言是肃静而缄默的。时而严肃时而讽刺，留下没有答案的疑问。
汉斯.欧普.德.贝克把展览的名字命名为‘默演’是因为所有的作品都与舞台场景有关，从而引发沉默与思考。同时他也想谈论的是，相对于我们自身的死亡和伟大恒久的大自然，人类的无能及渺小。
Hans Op de Beeck: Staging Silence
Galleria Continua – Beijing (from 17 January 2009)
First solo show in China
The multi-disciplinary oeuvre of the Belgian visual artist Hans Op de Beeck (b. 1969) consists of large-scale sculptural installations, videos, animated films, sculptures, drawings, photographs, short stories and stage designs. Much of his work is based upon the ideas of detachment and loss of self for human beings in these post-modern times.
The artist conceives and builds contemporary fictional urban and domestic locations and situations, sometimes featuring human characters that feel very familiar to viewers. His settings include both secluded spots suitable for inner reflection and crowded areas populated by characters who, at times, appear to be inept. His work sheds light on our own present-day lives, dreams and ambitions, and our perceptions of time, space and each other. Hans Op de Beeck’s visual language is hushed and reserved. Serious and ironic by turns, he asks questions that remain unanswered.
Hans Op de Beeck has given the exhibition the title of ‘Staging Silence’, because all of the works are a reference to the staged image, which invites silence and reflection. He also wishes to comment upon the ineptitude and insignificance of human beings in relation to our own mortality and the magnificence and endlessness of nature.
