宋陵：「我也开始有欲望了」

Song Ling : I′m Also Starting to Have Desires

*Please scroll down for English version.

昊美术馆很荣幸地宣布，将于5月13日在昊美术馆二楼展厅推出宋陵个展「我也开始有欲望了」，全面呈现近10年来，包括“野生动物”系列、“虚构”系列、“临摹”系列和“物事生非”系列在内的近百件作品。

1988年宋陵移居澳洲，「我也开始有欲望了」是他在缺席中国社会快速发展的20年后，重返中国当代艺术现场时的一个内心独白，也是艺术家在面对当下社会现状和艺术生态时的一句调侃 。短暂的缺席终究为宋陵带来了新的创作维度。本次展览由鲁明军担任学术主持。

宋陵：「我也开始有欲望了」

Song Ling : I′m Also Starting to Have Desires

Duration: 2023.05.13-2023.07.09

Artist: Song Ling

Academic Moderator: Lu Mingjun

Venue: HOW Art Museum(2F, No.1, Lane 2277, Zuchongzhi Road, Shanghai)

Organizer: HOW Art Museum

HOW Art Museum is pleased to announce that Song Ling’s solo exhibition I′m Also Starting to Have Desires will be on view at 2F Gallery at HOW Art Museum since May 13, 2023. Attempting to present a holistic picture of the artist’s practice during the past decade, the exhibition features nearly 100 works selected from his Wildlife series, Fabricated series, Study series and Make Ado about Nothing series.

Song Ling migrated to Australia in 1988. "I'm also starting to have desires" was his inner monologue when he returned to the Chinese contemporary art scene after 20 years of absence; and it is also a self-mockery the artist made in the face of the drastically changing social situations and ecology of the art world. The temporary absence has in fact brought a new dimension to Song Ling’s art. Professor Lu Mingjun is the academic moderator of the exhibition.
